Five nights from Pahalgam through Gulmarg to Srinagar with selected meals, a Dal houseboat and gondola ride.
Pahalgam opens this five-night valley route with its Lidder-side base before Gulmarg's gondola and a Srinagar finish on Dal Lake. Avantipura's carved ruins, the snow meadows and the Mughal gardens round out a circuit that leads with the trekking town rather than the houseboats most itineraries start their first nights from.
Reading The Route
Avantipura's ruins and the Lidder valley anchor the Pahalgam nights, while Gulmarg's gondola climbs toward Kongdori across open pasture. Srinagar gathers Cheshma Shahi, Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Garden into a Mughal-garden day, with a shikara ride across Dal Lake and, where the plan allows, a Sonmarg excursion along the glacier road before the trip winds down to its close.
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. Srinagar's old-city bazaars stay open for an evening walk.
