Winter Kashmir Tour Packages

Winter turns Kashmir into a snow-covered valley, and for many travellers it is the most magical time to visit. In the core winter months, roughly December to February, Gulmarg usually has snow on the ground, and Srinagar's gardens and lakeside take on a quiet, frosty look. Snowfall changes from year to year, so it is worth checking current conditions before you fix your dates.

What to expect on a winter trip

Days are short and cold, and nights can be very cold, especially in the hills. Most winter trips combine a base in Srinagar with time in Gulmarg for snow play, sledging, beginner ski lessons and the Gulmarg Gondola, which runs only when the weather allows. Roads to higher areas can close for a while after heavy snowfall, so a flexible day in your plan really helps. Warm rooms with heating make a big difference, and our winter packages are planned with that in mind.

Who winter suits best

• Couples looking for a cosy, snowy break with time for each other
• Families whose children want to see, touch and play in real snow
• Travellers who want to try skiing or snowboarding with a local instructor

How to plan your winter trip

Pack thermals, a warm jacket, waterproof gloves, woollen caps, sunglasses and boots with a good grip. Book flights and hotels early for the Christmas and New Year period, when demand is high and rooms fill up quickly. Short winter breaks of four or five days work well for most travellers, while longer trips can add Srinagar sightseeing and a relaxed day on Dal Lake.
