srinagar tour

First stop- Srinagar (2 days): Also Base Camp for Touring

Once you reach the airport, the main city should be about 30 minutes away. We will make you stay in Srinagar for 2 days. One day has to be free for Dal Lake. After all, it is the main attraction over there. You can go for a shikara or a houseboat.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Watch the sunsets with your loved ones. Wake up at 5 to see Srinagar Valley light up from behind the mountains. Have a cup of nice hot tea served to you in the shikara itself. Yes, you heard it right.

From vegetable markets to fresh fruits and even cooked food, you get everything on water.

Reward your taste buds with the mouth-watering kebabs and paneer tikkas.

After this, you can relax in the spiritual aura of the Dargahs all around Srinagar. Do not miss the Hazratbal Dargah which is the most famous one there. Take a stroll in the NIshant Bagh or Tulip Gardens in the evening and admire the beauty. So book this 5 days trip to Kashmir today!

Second stop- Gulmarg (2 days)

Gulmarg

Distance from Srinagar: 51 km/1.5 hours (approx.)

Some good Kashmir travel tips you ask for. Be patient and embrace everything with open arms. It is time to bring your suitcases back and head to the best skiing destination. You can find Gulmarg in the Pir Panjal range and everything about it screams beauty. You will not be able to take your eyes off anything you see here.

So, as soon as you reach Gulmarg on your third day, take some rest and have a nice breakfast. You will need a lot of energy to learn how to ski. Well, you at least know how to fall right?

But you do not take a fall because hello? It is 14,000 ft. above. 

Oh yes. If you are adventurous enough to surpass the snow, you can see the POK and Lahore from a point. Do not forget to try the lamb biryani and their local desserts. Those are to die for. Who doesn’t like Moong dal halwa after all? There are a few markets around where you can get your inner shopaholic out and go crazy.

Third stop-  Sonamarg (On a day trip from Srinagar)

Sonamarg

Distance from Srinagar: 80 km/3 hours (approx.)

It is time to head back to Srinagar so that you can see a few other places. You can either rest or head for Sonamarg. It will take you about 2 hours to get there. Famous for its snowscapes, you need to experience them once.

 Something adding to the Kashmir Trip cost would be the local guys. They will charge you extra for everything which will end up increasing the cost. So beware of them and remember to bargain. It will save you a lot of money.

Final destination- Pahalgam (Another day trip from Srinagar)

Pahalgam

Distance from Srinagar: 90 km/3 hours (approx.)

Do not be sad. End your trip to heaven with the land of valleys. Book yourself a horse or be on foot. It is your choice. But visiting Pahalgam is a must. Our very own Salman Bhai shot Bajrangi Bhaijaan here too.

Now you do not have a choice. Get some fresh fruits and a nice cheese platter. It is the perfect place to have a picnic with your family. Sitting surrounded by mountains while you play some games and have some nice food. Now this is life. Or sit beside the river and enjoy the view. So, get your 5 days Kashmir tour package with a flight today.

Some tips to keep in mind for planning the 5 days Kashmir trip in 2024

  1. Carry some basic medicines with you at all times. You are prone to altitude sickness and headaches.
  2. Do not buy souvenirs near Dal Lake. They will be very expensive. Instead, shop at Sonamarg.
  3. Carry appropriate clothing as the weather can be unpredictable.
  4. If you are traveling in winter, pack extra layers because it gets very cold.
  5. Do not spend more than a day on the houseboats. They are not worth it. One day for the experience is fine.
