The best time to visit Kashmir, often referred to as Paradise on Earth, depends on the experiences you seek and your personal preferences. Kashmir experiences distinct seasons, each offering different attractions and activities.
The best time to visit Kashmir for most travelers seeking a balanced experience would be during the summer months, from June to August. The weather is pleasant, and most attractions are open and easily accessible during this time. However, if you’re specifically interested in winter sports or experiencing the region covered in snow, then the winter months are ideal. For those who appreciate the charm of autumn foliage and blooming flowers, the spring and autumn seasons provide an enchanting experience in Kashmir.
After complimentary pick-up at Srinagar Airport at 12:00 PM and 02:00 PM only, leave for the hotel. We provide hotels in Srinagar in deluxe tours. But if a tourist wants to stay in a houseboat, then it has to be informed before booking and some price difference has to be paid. If you have to stay in a houseboat, you have to come to our designated place for food at your own expense and selfmade auto or you have to pay for dinner and breakfast in the houseboat there. (Tourists coming in the flight after the above time will have to reach the hotelfrom the airport on their own and at their own expense.) If the traveler is arriving in Srinagar on time, complimentary lunch will be provided by the company.
Depart from Srinagar to Sonmarg around 8:30 AM, covering approximately 80 km (3 hours). After checking in at the hotel, enjoy a visit to Thazivas Glacier post-lunch, with horse rides available at an extra charge. From November 15th to March 31st, staying in Sonmarg may be limited due to heavy snowfall and cold conditions. If the road from Gandharbal to Sonmarg is closed, you will need to arrange a chained vehicle at your own cost (Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3500).
Check out of your hotel in Sonmarg by 9:00 AM and explore the remaining sights on your own. After lunch at 12:00 noon, head back to Srinagar (approximately 80 km, 3 hours). En route, visit the Shalimar, Nishat, and Chashme Shahi Gardens.
Travel from Srinagar to Gulmarg, about 55 km (2 hours). Enjoy a Gondola ride (ropeway) in Gulmarg at your own expense, and take in the views of Khilanmarg. Ropeway tickets must be booked online in advance through the official website. Due to time constraints and the Gondola line, lunch is not provided in Gulmarg. Be aware that road access from Tangmarg to Gulmarg may be closed due to snow, necessitating a chained vehicle at an additional cost (Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3500).
Depart for Pahalgam from Srinagar, covering approximately 90 km (3 hours). Upon arrival, rest and check in. Hotels in Pahalgam are generally more average compared to those in Srinagar, but upgrades are available for an extra fee. On the way, you can see saffron fields and a cricket boat factory. Once in Pahalgam, you may visit Bisharan on horseback and Aru Valley by union taxi, with additional costs. River rafting is not recommended due to safety concerns.
Explore Pahalgam and visit local sights such as Betab Valley and Chandanwari, using a local union taxi, with costs incurred by the traveler.
After breakfast at 6:30 AM, the tour concludes with your transfer from Pahalgam to Srinagar Airport. If there are changes in your flight schedule, you will need to manage transport to the airport independently. Ensure your return flight is booked for after 2:00 PM, and arrive at the airport 3 hours before your flight time. If opting for a different time for a cheaper ticket, you will need to arrange transportation to the airport at your own cost.
