Srinagar · Pahalgam · Gulmarg · Sonamarg·5 Nights / 6 Days
For a first journey to Kashmir, this is the familiar collection of places that draws so many travellers north. Base yourself in Srinagar and make day trips to Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonamarg, before spending a day with the city’s gardens and Dal Lake.
This six-day route starts and finishes in Jammu. It pairs the classic sights with hotel stays, breakfasts and dinners, while leaving optional experiences such as the Gulmarg Gondola, pony rides and Pahalgam’s union taxis clearly separate from the package quote.
