Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival Srinagar + Local Sightseeing

On arrival at Srinagar airport, our representative will meet you to pick you up and transfer you to your hotel. Welcome to Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, renowned for its stunning gardens, serene lakes, and vibrant culture. After resting, leave for sightseeing of Mughal Gardens: Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. These gardens, built by Mughal emperors, showcase the grandeur of Mughal horticulture with their terraced lawns, cascading fountains, and vibrant flowerbeds. Later, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (approx. 51 km, 1.5-2 hours). Gulmarg is approximately 2730 meters above sea level and is also known as the 'Meadow of Flowers.' En route, enjoy views of rolling hills and rice fields. Upon arrival, proceed for the highlight: a 1-hour Gondola cable car ride (at own cost). The ride ascends in two phases—Kongdoori (Phase 1) and further to Apharwat (Phase 2, subject to weather/operation). The breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the lush valleys below make it a must-visit attraction. If you're visiting in winter, this area becomes a skiing paradise. By evening, return to Srinagar for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, we will begin our day trip to Sonmarg, which means 'Meadow of Gold,' situated at an elevation of 8,960 feet (2,730 meters) above sea level, approximately 87 km away from Srinagar, a journey that takes about 3 hours one way. Sonmarg’s backdrop consists of snow-capped mountains set against a cerulean sky. The Sind River meanders through the region, abounding with trout and masher, while snow trout can be found in the main river. Ponies can be hired for a trip to Thajiwas Glacier, a major attraction in the summer (on direct payment). Later, union vehicles will be provided for a visit to Zero Point and snow activities at Thajiwas Glacier (at own cost). In the evening, return to Srinagar for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, transfer from Srinagar to Doodhpathri. Enjoy scenic village views, apple orchards, and pine forests on the way. Explore vast green meadows and the milky-looking stream (hence the name 'Valley of Milk'). Enjoy a short pony ride (at your own cost) or walk along the valley. In the evening, return to Srinagar for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, begin your scenic drive to Pahalgam (approx. 138 km, 3.5-4 hours). En route, stop at the historic Awantipora Ruins – remnants of 9th-century temples. Continue through the picturesque Lidder Valley. Upon reaching Pahalgam, explore the stunning valleys around Pahalgam. First, visit Betaab Valley, known for its lush green meadows and crystal-clear streams. Next, proceed to Aru Valley, the starting point for several treks and a serene spot for photography. Later, visit Chandanwari, the starting point of the renowned Amarnath Yatra. You can also enjoy snow sledging on a snow bridge here. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel in Pahalgam.

After breakfast, check out from Pahalgam and proceed towards Srinagar. In the afternoon, head to the Shankar Acharya Temple on Shankar Acharya Hill. This ancient temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, offers panoramic views of Srinagar and Dal Lake. In the evening, proceed for a complimentary Shikara ride in Dal Lake. You can explore the vibrant floating markets where local vendors sell various items like flowers and vegetables. Later, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay on the houseboat.

After breakfast, drive straight to Srinagar Airport or Railway Station, thus ending your fantastic and memorable journey to Kashmir.

It was a memorable trip and the whole credit goes to Mr.Mamoon, who took extreme care in planning out each activity meticulously. We were a large group of high level officers and each member of the g (Read More)roup including their families were very appreciative for the personal attention given to them. The trip to Tulip Garden and Gulmarg was awesome. The event manager made arrangements for stay at Sarovar Premier, a fantastic hotel located in the heart of city and main marketplace and within reasonable distance from all tourist spots. His personal care was more pronounced, when he arranged a maggi feast at the top of Gulmarg, as we were already late and hungry. Overall, a fantastic fun filled enjoyable trip for 3N/4D. I would always recommend anybody visiting Srinagar or any part of Kashmir to avail services of Portal Tours and Management Services, and specially for organizing large group functions. Thank you Mr.Mamoon for being so nice and helpful.

Hotel and food was not good.

Planning and time management could have been done better. However, the management tried its best later on to rectifying its mistakes but by then it was too late
