Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival at Srinagar Houseboat
- On arrival in Srinagar, you will meet our representative at the airport and transfer to your houseboat.
- Check-in at your hotel.
- Later, get ready for an hour-long Shikara ride in the lake.
- This boat ride glides you past some wonderful vegetable gardens and aquatic life.
- Dinner and Overnight stay in Houseboat.
Day 2 Transfer from Srinagar to Pahalgam. Pahalgam Sightseeing
- After breakfast, check out from the houseboat and proceed to Pahalgam via Pampore, Avantipura and the village of Bijbehara, which remains famous as the bread basket of Kashmir.
- We switch from the national highway 1A at Khanabal and drive through the second largest city of Anantnag. The road turns scenic as we drive parallel to the Lidder River flowing from the opposite direction.
- On arrival, check-in at the hotel.
- In Pahalgam, you can visit Chandanwari (3288 metres above sea level), Aru Valley and Betab Valley at your own cost by union cabs.
- Situated 16 km from Pahalgam, Chandanwari is famous for snow sledging on a snow bridge. Taxi cabs can be hired from Pahalgam for a roundtrip. The trip takes about four to five hours on a semi-road with the Lidder river meandering on one side and lofty, snow-capped mountains on the other. "Snow fights" is what people generally indulge in here before they sledge back down. Chandanwari is also known for its natural attractions. It has some of the best picnic spots and is reachable by road. The weather can be very unpredictable at the place so do carry some warm clothes and raincoats.
- Aru Valley is a pristine scenic village situated in the region of Trans-Himalaya. A clear blue canopy over the head, misty surroundings, whispers of the native pines, conifer forests, and beautiful meadows create a captivating diorama for travellers thronging the place. Though the village is the smallest hill station in the state, its breathtaking beauty and interesting activities like trekking, hiking and horse riding make it one of the most popular tourist places in Pahalgam. Apart from the trekkers, the village also caters to the skiing desires of tourists who love to visit the place during winters. Aru Valley is located at a distance of about 12 km from Pahalgam.
- Betaab Valley is a perfect gateway to enjoy the heavenly pleasure of Mother Nature. Earlier known as Hagan Valley or Hagoon, Betaab Valley became its name after the blockbuster Bollywood movie.
Day 3 Transfer from Pahalgam to Gulmarg. Gulmarg Sightseeing
- After breakfast, check out from your hotel and proceed towards Gulmarg.
- En route, see the beautiful Tangmarg town and drive ahead on a scenic drive of 14 kilometres to Gulmarg.
- Check in to your hotel and proceed for sightseeing covering Maharani Temple, St. Mary's Church and Gondola ride (cable car).
- Maharani Temple is known to be built in 1915 by Mohini Bai Sisodia, the wife of Maharaja Hari Singh - the last Dogra king of Jammu and Kashmir. The temple houses shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is here that the Rajesh Khanna – Mumtaz starrer Aap ki Kasam was shot. You can enjoy pony rides to Maharani Temple (at extra cost).
- St. Mary's church was built during British rule. The 110-year-old St. Mary's Church in Gulmarg was given a new look in 2003 with a renovated façade, and the first Christmas mass was held in 14 years. Saint Mary's Church was constructed in the early 20th century; it is made of grey stone walls that look most scintillating during the winters, especially when surrounded by snow. The green tiled roof, wooden decorated walls, and overall size indicate it could be more like a countryside chapel.
- The two-stage gondola lift ferries to and from Kongdoori Mountain, a shoulder of nearby Afarwat Peak (4,200 m / 13,780 ft). The first stage transfers from the Gulmarg resort at 2,600 m (8,530 ft) to Kongdoori Station in the bowl-shaped Kongdori valley. The second stage of the ropeway, which has 36 cabins and 18 towers, takes skiers to a height of 3,747 m (12,293 ft) on Kongdoori Mountain, a shoulder of nearby Afarwat Peak (4,200 m / 13,780 ft).
- The Gondola ride is from 10 AM to 5 PM (subject to change without prior notice, gondola operations are highly dependent upon the weather at both stages).
- Later, return to your hotel for an overnight stay at Gulmarg Hotel.

- Nishat Bagh is one of the most beautiful terraced Mughal gardens located at the side of the famous Dal Lake near Srinagar. The Garden of Gladness, or Nishat Bagh, is the second largest Mughal garden in the Kashmir Valley, located on the bank of the Dal Lake with the Zabarwan Mountains at the back and offers a magnificent view of the Pir Panjal mountain range.
- Shalimar Bagh is the largest Mughal garden in India, located northeast of Dal Lake near Srinagar city, along with another famous lake garden Nishat Bagh. The Bagh has Dal Lake in the background and is considered very beautiful during the autumn and spring seasons.
