Day by day
Pickup at Srinagar airport. Afternoon in the Tulip Garden below the Zabarwan hills, then a shikara on Dal Lake.
Snow usually still covers the upper slopes in spring. The gondola to Kongdoori, and to Apharwat when the weather allows. Back to Srinagar.
Up the Sindh valley to Sonamarg, with snow at the Thajiwas glacier. Back to Srinagar for the evening.
Nishat, Shalimar and Chashme Shahi in spring, and the almond orchards if they are still in flower. Evening in the old city.
Transfer to the airport.

Before you book
Usually from late March into April, for a few weeks. The exact dates depend on the season and are announced every year; we plan around them.
Usually at Gulmarg’s upper gondola station and at the Thajiwas glacier in Sonamarg, not in Srinagar itself.
