Five nights with extra Srinagar time after Gulmarg and Pahalgam, plus a Dal houseboat and gondola ride.
Gulmarg's snow meadows and the gondola to Kongdori open this five-night route ahead of Pahalgam's Lidder valley and a Srinagar finish on Dal Lake. Avantipura's ruins and the Mughal gardens round out a plan that fronts the highest pasture before easing down toward the capital and its houseboats.
Order Of Play
Gulmarg's open meadows and the gondola toward Kongdori fill the first days before the road bends to Pahalgam for Avantipura ruins and the Lidder valley. Srinagar then lines up Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Garden and Cheshma Shahi, closing on a Dal Lake houseboat and, where the plan allows, a Sonmarg excursion along the glacier road out of town.
Stays And Meals
Three-star hotels chosen for their location anchor each leg of the five-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.
