Frequently asked questions

How reliable is snow at Gulmarg?

Reliable from roughly late December through February. November and early December are a gamble. If snow is the entire reason for the trip, January and February are the safest months.

When does the Tulip Garden open?

Typically for a few weeks in April, though the exact window shifts each year with the weather. Booking a trip specifically around the bloom is risky unless you can keep the dates flexible.

Are flights included in package prices?

Usually not in the base price. Airfare to Srinagar varies widely by season and origin city, so it is normally quoted separately once dates are fixed.

What is Chillai-Kalan?

The traditional 40-day period of deepest winter in Kashmir, running from around 21 December to 31 January. It is when snowfall is heaviest and most reliable, and when the valley is coldest.

Is food expensive in Kashmir?

Not compared with other Indian hill destinations. Our packages include breakfast and dinner at the hotel on the MAP or MAPI plan, so lunch is the main extra. Outside Srinagar the choice thins considerably — Gulmarg and Pahalgam have very few places to eat beyond the hotels, which is worth planning around rather than budgeting around.

Is 3 days enough for Kashmir?

Three nights works if you accept one valley. Srinagar plus Gulmarg is comfortable; adding Pahalgam means two long driving days back to back. From Delhi the 85-minute flight makes a three-night trip viable because almost no time is lost travelling. From southern India the sectors are too long to justify it.
