The short answer
Land-only packages, starting wherever you arrive in Srinagar.
If you have your own flights or train tickets, or you are already in Srinagar, we quote the trip land-only: hotels and houseboat, breakfast and dinner, a private cab and a coordinator, starting with pickup at Srinagar airport, the railway station or your hotel. It works for anything from a single day trip to Gulmarg to a week across the valley.

Where we pick you up
| Arriving at | To Dal Lake | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Srinagar airport (SXR) | ≈ 14 km, 30–45 min | Your driver waits outside arrivals with a name board. |
| Srinagar railway station (Nowgam) | About 30 min | The Vande Bharat from Jammu Tawi usually arrives in the early evening, so day one is check-in and a walk by the lake. |
| Your hotel or houseboat | — | Already in Srinagar? We start from your door. |
Day trips from Srinagar
If you are only in Srinagar for a day or two, a day trip with a private cab and driver is the simplest way to see the valley. Times are one way.
| Day trip | Drive | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Gulmarg | 1.5–2 h | The Gondola, snow from December to March, meadows in summer |
| Sonamarg | 2.5–3 h | Thajiwas glacier, the Sindh river |
| Doodhpathri | 1.5–2 h | Open meadows, few crowds |
| Yusmarg | 1.5–2 h | Pine forest and quiet walks |
| Pampore and Awantipora | 30–45 min | Saffron fields and 9th-century temple ruins |
| Manasbal and Wular lakes | 1–2 h | Quiet lakes, a half or full day |
| Pahalgam | 2.5–3 h | Possible in a day, far better with a night there |
Multi-day packages from Srinagar
Every Falcon Trails Kashmir itinerary already starts and ends in Srinagar and excludes flights, so any of them can be booked land-only. The most popular are a weekend in Srinagar with a day in Gulmarg, four nights covering Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and six nights across all four hill stations.
Tell us when you land and leave, and we shape the first and last days around those times.
