Itinerary

DAY 01: ARRIVE SRINAGAR – HOUSEBOAT NIGHT STAY

Arrive at Srinagar International Airport and transfer to your Dal Lake houseboat. Glide across placid waters on a 1-hour Shikara ride at Nehru Park, then explore the famed Mughal GardensNishat (Garden of Pleasure), Shalimar (Garden of Love), and Cheshma Shahi (Royal Spring)—where terraced lawns, water chadars, and chinar shade frame lake views. Sip warm kahwa on the sundeck as shikaras drift by and the Zabarwan Range glows at sunset. Dinner and overnight on the houseboat, a quintessential Kashmir experience.

DAY 02: SRINAGAR → PAHALGAM (95 KM / ~3.5 HRS)

After breakfast, drive to Pahalgam – Valley of Shepherds. Check in and unwind amid pine forests and the murmuring Lidder River. Choose a gentle riverside walk or hire a pony (direct payment) to Chandanwari/Betaab Valley for meadow views and photo stops. Nature lovers can explore short forest trails; adventure seekers may plan seasonal treks (guide on request). Evenings are tranquil—perfect for sky-watching and local café time. Dinner and overnight at Pahalgam.

DAY 03: PAHALGAM → SRINAGAR (85 KM / ~2.5–3 HRS) – GARDENS & TEMPLE

Post breakfast, return to Srinagar and check in to your hotel. Continue the heritage circuit: Cheshma Shahi, Shalimar, Nishat, and the hilltop Shankaracharya Temple for sweeping lake-city panoramas. Later, browse a curated handicrafts showroom for hand-knotted silk carpets, pashmina shawls, and papier-mâché art. As evening settles, stroll Boulevard Road or enjoy an optional short Shikara. Dinner and overnight in Srinagar.

DAY 04: SRINAGAR → GULMARG → SRINAGAR (49 KM / ~1.5–2 HRS EACH WAY)

After breakfast, drive via Tangmarg to alpine Gulmarg (2,730 m). Ride the Gondola to Kongdori (Phase I); if weather permits, continue to Apharwat (Phase II) for glacier vistas and possible glimpses of Nanga Parbat. Prefer trails? Opt for the Khilanmarg hike or amble around the historic Gulmarg Golf Course ringed by deodar. Lunch at a local café, then descend to Srinagar by early evening. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

DAY 05: SRINAGAR → SONMARG → SRINAGAR (81 KM / ~2 HRS EACH WAY)

After breakfast, drive to Sonmarg (The Meadow of Gold) in the flower-strewn Sindh Valley. Hire a pony (direct pay) or walk to the Thajiwas Glacier meadow; alternatively, take a union cab to Zero Point/Zoji La (seasonal) for snow play and dramatic ridgelines. Enjoy leisurely riverside time and mountain photography before returning to Srinagar. Dinner and overnight at the hotel, reliving a day of high-country drama.

DAY 06: DEPART SRINAGAR

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and final lakefront stroll or quick stop for saffron, dry fruits, and souvenirs. Check out and transfer to Srinagar Airport for your onward flight—carrying memories of houseboat sunsets, Mughal geometry, pine valleys, and alpine horizons.

FAQ

Should I pre-book the Gulmarg Gondola?

Yes—especially on weekends/holidays. Operations depend on wind and visibility; carry original ID, and keep a flexible slot. If Phase II closes, choose Khilanmarg walk, golf course loop, or cozy café time.

Are houseboats comfortable for families and seniors?

Deluxe houseboats have attached baths; heating/hot water may run on schedules—confirm timings. A short shikara links ghat ↔ houseboat. Choose quieter ghats for lighter noise. It’s a memorable, comfortable stay with heritage charm.

What optional activities are good for Pahalgam and Sonmarg?

In Pahalgam, pony to Chandanwari/Betaab Valley or riverside nature walks. In Sonmarg, pony to Thajiwas Glacier or union cab to Zero Point (seasonal). Hire local guides, wear sturdy shoes, and carry snacks and water.

What should I pack for changing mountain weather?

Layered clothing, warm jacket (evenings are cool), waterproof shoes in winter, sunscreen, sunglasses, cap, compact umbrella, personal meds, and some cash. Keep ID copies handy for checkpoints and activity bookings.
