Reaching Kashmir is simpler than many travellers expect. The gateway is Srinagar Airport (SXR), with direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru; from most other cities you will usually connect once through Delhi. Once you land, all local travel is by comfortable private car or taxi, which we arrange as part of your package. Since Kashmir is domestic travel within India, Indian guests need no visa or permit — just a valid photo ID. Here is how to plan your journey from booking to your first shikara ride.

Flying is the quickest and most comfortable way to reach the valley. Srinagar (SXR) receives direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, so you can be gliding across Dal Lake within hours of leaving home.

Connecting from South India

From cities such as Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi or Coimbatore, the usual route is a single connection through Delhi. We help you plan sensible flight timings so your transfers and first day run smoothly.

  • Private car or taxi for all transfers and sightseeing
  • Scenic drives from Srinagar to Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.

Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.

The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
