A great trip starts with a great plan, and this Kashmir itinerary guide lays out how to spend your days in the valley. Whether you have three days or a full week, we suggest sensible, scenic routes taking in Srinagar's lakes and gardens, the Gulmarg gondola, Pahalgam's river valleys and Sonmarg's glacier — all on well-travelled tourist circuits. As Kashmir is domestic travel, Indian guests need no visa or permit. Packages start from Rs 12,999, and every itinerary here can be tailored to your pace and interests.

3 nights 4 days — the short escape

Perfect for a long weekend. Base yourself in Srinagar with day trips to Gulmarg and Pahalgam, plus a shikara on Dal Lake. It captures the valley's highlights with minimal travel.

4 to 5 nights — the classic circuit

Add Sonmarg, and perhaps an overnight in Pahalgam or Gulmarg, for the most popular Kashmir itinerary. You see all four headline destinations at a relaxed pace, with time for gardens and shrines.

6 to 7 nights — the complete valley

A full week lets you include a hidden meadow such as Doodhpathri or Yusmarg, extend your houseboat stay and enjoy slower mornings. It is the most rounded way to experience Kashmir.

  • Overnight stays in Gulmarg and Pahalgam
  • A quiet day away from the crowds
  • Extra time on Dal Lake

How to reach & get around

Fly into Srinagar (SXR) — direct from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, or one stop via Delhi elsewhere. Every itinerary uses private car or taxi for transfers and sightseeing on well-travelled routes.

Tips to plan your days

A few pointers for a smooth trip.

  • Keep drives to a comfortable length each day
  • Match the season to your goals — tulips, meadows or snow
  • Leave a buffer morning for weather and rest
  • Carry warm layers year-round for higher areas

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.
