Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1Arrive in Srinagar, Houseboat Night on Dal Lake
Pickup from Srinagar airport or railway station and transfer to your houseboat. The afternoon is for slowing down: Kahwa on the deck, a Shikara ride at golden hour and dinner on board. If you have the energy, ask your host to show you the floating vegetable market route for an early start next day.
🏨 Overnight in a houseboat on Dal Lake
Day 2Srinagar Sightseeing: Mughal Gardens and Shankaracharya
After breakfast, visit the terraced Mughal gardens: Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh and Chashme Shahi, then Pari Mahal above the lake. In the afternoon, drive up to the Shankaracharya temple for views over the city (expect security checks and a climb of a few hundred steps). Evening at leisure or shopping on Polo View or Residency Road.
🏨 Overnight in Srinagar
Day 3Day Trip to Gulmarg
Drive to Gulmarg (about 50 km, 1.5–2 hours) through Tangmarg and pine forest. Ride the Gondola to Kongdoori (Phase 1) and, if the weather allows, on to Apharwat (Phase 2); tickets are bought separately. Walk the meadow to St. Mary's Church and the Maharani Temple before returning to Srinagar.
🏨 Overnight in Srinagar
Day 4Day Trip to Doodhpathri
Drive about 1.5 hours to Doodhpathri, a wide meadow with a cold, fast stream and pine forest. It's quieter than Gulmarg and perfect for a picnic, pony rides and children who need space to run.
🏨 Overnight in Srinagar
Day 5Departure from Srinagar
After breakfast, transfer to Srinagar airport or railway station. Leave at least two hours for airport security checks.
Plans can change with weather, road and local conditions. Your driver and our team will always suggest the best alternative on the day.
