The plan

Day-by-day itinerary

  1. Day1

    Arrival in Srinagar and sunset shikara

    Pickup at Srinagar airport or railway station and check-in. In the evening, a sunset shikara ride on Dal Lake for the two of you. Tonight you stay on a deluxe houseboat on Dal Lake, reached by shikara.

  2. Day2

    Srinagar in winter

    A gentle first full day in Srinagar: the old city lanes, a local market for warm pherans and kangris, and the Mughal gardens in their quiet winter look.

  3. Day3

    Srinagar to Gulmarg and the snow

    Drive to Gulmarg, subject to road and weather conditions. Settle in and spend the afternoon in the snow: walks, sledging or simply the view. Local union cabs and sledges are paid locally.

  4. Day4

    Gulmarg Gondola day

    A full day in Gulmarg. Ride the Gulmarg Gondola if it is operating (tickets extra and booked on the day, subject to weather). Beginners can try skiing with a local instructor, paid locally.

  5. Day5

    Day trip to Sonamarg, road permitting

    A day trip to Sonamarg if the road is open after snowfall. If it is closed, we plan a day at Doodhpathri or around Srinagar instead. Back in Srinagar for the night.

  6. Day6

    Doodhpathri or a slow Srinagar day

    A day trip to Doodhpathri when the road allows, or a slow day in Srinagar with time for a warm café and the handicraft markets.

  7. Day7

    Departure

    Breakfast and check-out. Drop at Srinagar airport or railway station, with time for last-minute shopping if your flight or train allows.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What if roads are closed by snow?

Mountain roads can close after heavy snowfall. We then change the order of days or swap the trip for another one, and tell you on WhatsApp before the day.

Can you add something special for the two of us?

Yes. A candle-light dinner, a room upgrade or extra time on the lake can be added on request; we quote it with the plan.

Can we change the hotels or the number of days?

Yes. This is a starting plan: tell us your dates and wishes on WhatsApp and we adjust the hotels, days and price.
