Srinagar, India
6 Days Kashmir: Srinagar, Gulmarg & Pahalgam
Overview
Kashmir is the holiday almost every Indian family has on a list somewhere, and six days is enough to do the valley properly rather than at a sprint. You get two nights in Srinagar — one of them on a traditional houseboat — a full day at Gulmarg with the gondola up towards Apharwat, and two nights at Pahalgam for the Betaab and Aru valleys. We run it year-round: the same route is green meadows in summer and deep snow from late December.
