4N Kashmir Tour | Pahalgam Valley & Gulmarg

5 Days 4 Nights

Four nights from Pahalgam to Gulmarg and Srinagar with selected meals, a Dal houseboat and gondola ride.

Avantipura's ruins near Pahalgam set the first scene on this four-night route, which then climbs to Gulmarg's gondola and closes among Srinagar's Mughal gardens and Dal Lake houseboats. Leading with the Lidder-side base reverses the usual order, putting the riverside trekking country at the front of the trip.

Reading The Route

The Lidder-side valleys and Avantipura's carved ruins fill the Pahalgam days, then Gulmarg's cable car lifts toward Kongdori over open meadow. Srinagar's Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Garden and Cheshma Shahi line up a garden morning beside a Dal Lake houseboat, with the old-city bazaars and a shikara glide rounding out the final lakeside nights.

Stays And Meals

Three-star hotels chosen for their location anchor each leg of the four-night route, with selected meals included as marked. Selected meals are noted in the day plan, with other dining easy to find nearby. The valley's pine slopes and meadows frame most of the driving days.
