Day by day
Airport pickup to a houseboat on the quieter Nigeen Lake. Sunset shikara, dinner on board.
Gardens on the way out of the city, then Gulmarg and the gondola. Evening in the meadow.
Through Srinagar and the saffron country to the Lidder valley.
Aru and Betaab in the morning if you want them; a riverside afternoon if you do not.
Back to Srinagar for the old city, a last shikara or the markets.
Drop at the airport.
We list exclusions plainly rather than burying them. If something here matters to you, ask — most can be added to the quote.
Before you book
Yes. Tell us the category you want and we quote for it; better rooms in Gulmarg and Pahalgam make the biggest difference.

All four of the Valley’s great names without rushing: Srinagar, a night in Gulmarg, two in Pahalgam, Sonamarg and the meadows of Doodhpathri.

Over the Razdan pass into Gurez and the Tulail valley, with Doodhpathri’s meadows and the old city of Srinagar on either side. The Kashmir most visitors never reach.
