Your Kashmir questions, answered.
Make the most of this route, from the first day to the final stay.
Is five days enough for a first Kashmir holiday?
Five days is a focused introduction to Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Kashmir Valley Highlights includes two Srinagar nights and one night each in Gulmarg and Pahalgam, with your own vehicle and driver.
Staying in the valleys gives you time there beyond a return day trip. This route has a longer Gulmarg–Pahalgam transfer and does not include Sonamarg. Choose the six-day Classic Kashmir Circuit to add a dedicated Sonamarg day, or ask for extra nights to slow the pace.
See six days with SonamargIs Kashmir safe to visit right now?
We are a J&K-registered team based in Srinagar, and we plan every trip around the current situation. We follow official travel advisories for your dates, and if a place is closed or advised against, we change the route before you travel.
Your private car and driver stay with you for the agreed itinerary, and our Srinagar team stays in touch until you fly home. Ask us about your route when you enquire and we will tell you plainly what is open. If an official restriction affects a booked service, our cancellation policy explains your options.
Closures, weather and your optionsHow does this differ from the family and couple trips?
The overnight route is the same. Valley Highlights is the general five-day plan, priced for two adults sharing. Family Escape starts from a four-adult basis, while Couples Retreat adds a cake and decorated room in every tier.
Compare the room basis and selected-tier inclusions rather than the headline amount alone. All three travel privately. Send your party size and the experiences you care about, and we can suggest the most suitable starting plan without adding nights you do not need.
Find your kind of Kashmir holidayDoes the package include a Srinagar houseboat night?
Yes. Every tier includes a houseboat on the first Srinagar night: Deluxe in Standard, Premium in Premium and Luxury in Luxury.
The houseboat replaces a hotel night; it is not an extra night or the same thing as your Dal Lake Shikara ride. We confirm the named property, room, access and seasonal facilities before you book, so you can choose the stay that suits you.
Can you include flights from my city?
Yes. Tick “Add flights from my city” in the quote form, or tell us your departure city, for a separate flight-inclusive quote. Package prices shown here are land-only; airfare, train tickets and applicable taxes are extra unless included in your written quote.
Send any flights you are considering before ticketing. Arrival and departure times affect the first day’s sightseeing and the final airport transfer. We confirm airfare, baggage and airline change terms separately; the land-booking advance does not hold a flight fare.
What if I need to change or cancel my trip?
Send your request by WhatsApp or email. Refunds depend on notice, supplier costs and the terms agreed before payment. Check the cancellation policy before booking; flight terms may differ.
