Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of a Kashmir tour?

Group size moves the price more than anything else, because the vehicle and the hotel are shared. A party of twelve pays about ₹8,050 a head on our four-night package; a party of four pays about ₹9,550. Season matters too — March and November are the cheapest months with usable weather, and the Christmas to New Year week is the most expensive.

Is 2 days enough for Kashmir?

Not realistically. Two days covers Srinagar itself — the Mughal gardens and a shikara ride — and little else. Gulmarg is 105 minutes each way and Pahalgam 150, so a single valley excursion consumes most of a day. Two nights is a stopover rather than a Kashmir trip.

Is 5 days enough for Kashmir?

Yes, and four to five nights is what our standard packages are built around. It covers Srinagar as a base with day excursions to Gulmarg, Sonamarg and Pahalgam at an unhurried pace. Five nights lets you sleep one night in Pahalgam and one on a houseboat instead of returning to the same hotel every evening.

How do you start planning a Kashmir trip?

Fix the month first, because it decides what is open — Sonamarg is snowbound from December to early April, and the tulip bloom lasts a few weeks in April. Then set the length: four to five nights fits the main circuit. Then choose your base, which for most people is Srinagar. Flights and hotels come last, once those three are settled.

How do you choose a Kashmir tour operator?

Ask three things. What is excluded — a straight operator will tell you the gondola, pony rides and the local union taxis at Pahalgam and Sonamarg are extra, because they are. Who you speak to on the ground if a road closes. And whether the itinerary matches the season: any winter package including Sonamarg is wrong, because it is snowbound. An operator who answers all three plainly is worth more than one quoting the lowest number.

What is included in a full package tour?

On ours: accommodation on the stated meal plan, all transfers and sightseeing by private vehicle, driver allowance, tolls, parking and taxes, plus a one-hour Dal Lake shikara ride. Not included: airfare, the Gulmarg gondola, pony rides, local union taxi charges beyond Pahalgam and at Sonamarg, entry fees to monuments, and personal expenses. Every one of those exclusions is printed on our sheets.
