Srinagar · Pahalgam · Gulmarg · Sonmarg — the valley’s essential first circuit
This is the circuit we recommend when someone is visiting Kashmir for the first time and wants the four places that define the valley — the lake city, the shepherd meadows, the high gondola and the glacier corridor — without rushing the days.
You arrive in Srinagar, spend a night in Pahalgam after the Lidder drive, return for Mughal gardens and old-city shopping, then take two excursion days to Gulmarg and Sonmarg before flying out. Hotels and houseboats can be set at Deluxe level as a starting point; Standard and Premium options are available on request.
Hotel or houseboat nights in well-located Deluxe properties, with Standard and Premium upgrades on request.
Daily breakfast and dinner at the stay. Lunches stay flexible so sightseeing days are not locked to a hotel table.
Airport pickup, inter-town drives and guided sightseeing in a dedicated vehicle for your group.
Lake evenings, garden mornings, meadow days and a glacier walk — balanced rather than packed.
