6N Kashmir Tour | Srinagar Base, Gulmarg Day

7 Days 6 Nights

Six nights from a three-night Srinagar base out to Gulmarg and Pahalgam, with a Dal houseboat and gondola.

Houseboats on Dal Lake and three nights in Srinagar anchor this six-night route, with Gulmarg and Pahalgam reached as day-trip-style hops. Avantipura's ruins, the Mughal gardens, the gondola to Kongdori and a Sonmarg run fill the highland days around a single unhurried capital base. The valley's pine slopes and meadows frame most of the driving days.

Around The Base

Gulmarg's gondola toward Kongdori opens the high country before Pahalgam's Avantipura ruins and the Lidder valley slow the pace. Srinagar gathers Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Garden and Cheshma Shahi into a garden morning, then a Sonmarg excursion traces the glacier road ahead of the final houseboat night and a shikara ride on Dal Lake.

Stays And Meals

Three-star hotels chosen for their location anchor each leg of the six-night route, with daily breakfast included. Daily breakfast is included, so lunches and dinners stay open to local kitchens. Saffron fields and walnut groves line parts of the valley roads.
