Overview
Itinerary
Arrival in Srinagar — Transfer to Gulmarg & Evening at Leisure
Arrive at Srinagar Airport/railhead and meet our representative. Enjoy a scenic drive (approx 1.5–2 hours) to Gulmarg, passing willow-lined valleys and rushing streams. Check in to your hotel/resort in Gulmarg. Spend the evening acclimatizing with a stroll around the Gulmarg market and the famous Gulmarg Golf Course (winter views). Tip: Keep warm layers handy — Gulmarg is at high altitude and temperatures fall quickly after sunset.
Gondola Ride to Apharwat & Introductory Ski Session
After breakfast, take the iconic Gulmarg Gondola. Enjoy Phase 1 and opt for Phase 2 (subject to weather and availability) to reach Apharwat Peak. Spend the day with a guided skiing introduction — learn basics from certified instructors, practice on gentle slopes, and explore snowfields. Capture sweeping views of the Zanskar Range and the surrounding meadows. Important: Gondola Phase 2 may operate on a weather-dependent schedule; bring photo ID for gondola tickets.
Full Day Skiing, Snow Activities & Meadows Exploration
Dedicate a full day to skiing or snowboarding (advance rental available). Alternate activities include snowshoeing, tobogganing, or a short trek to Khilanmarg and the scenic Gulmarg Meadows. Enjoy lunch at a mountain café (own expense) and relax in the late afternoon at the resort. Pro-tip: Book a private instructor for faster progress; advance booking in peak season is recommended.
Checkout & Transfer to Srinagar — Optional Dal Lake Shikara Ride
After breakfast, check out and drive back to Srinagar. If time permits (based on flight/train schedule), enjoy a serene Shikara ride on Dal Lake, visit the floating gardens and browse local handicrafts at the Lal Chowk area before your drop at Srinagar Airport/railhead.

Recent Kashmir Reviews
Our Kashmir Coordinator Never Left Us Guessing
Traveled to Kashmir with my wife last October and honestly the coordinator TourGrids assigned us — Arjun — was the real difference maker. Before the trip, he was constantly on WhatsApp, answering every small doubt we had about weather, packing, hotel locations. Nothing felt too minor for him to respond to. On the ground, when our Gulmarg cab driver showed up late, one call to Arjun and it was sorted within minutes. Hotels were proper good — clean, well-located, no surprises. Pricing was transparent from day one, no hidden charges added later. For a Kashmir trip with so many moving parts, having someone that reachable genuinely changed how relaxed we felt throughout.
Kashmir Trip Cost Less Than My Spreadsheet
I spent almost two weeks trying to price out Kashmir independently — hotels in Srinagar, Gulmarg cabs, Pahalgam stays, the whole thing. The numbers kept climbing. A colleague suggested TourGrids, and honestly one call with their team changed the plan entirely. They quoted less than what I had cobbled together myself, and the package included hotel breakfasts, all intercity transfers, and airport pickup. My wife and I did six nights, and nothing felt cut-rate — the houseboats and hotels were proper good. No hidden charges at checkout, no surprise additions. Our coordinator was reachable throughout on WhatsApp and sorted a cab timing change without any fuss. Would not have gotten this value going alone.
Kashmir Hotels Were a Cut Above Expected
We went to Kashmir as a couple last October and honestly the properties TourGrids arranged were the best part of the whole trip. The houseboat in Dal Lake was proper good — clean, well-maintained, and exactly what was shown in the photos. No surprises. Same with the hotel in Gulmarg. Cabs were always on time, drivers knew the routes well, and there was zero confusion at any transfer point. Our coordinator Priya stayed reachable throughout — sorted a small room preference issue on a quick call before we even reached the property. Pricing was clear from the beginning, no hidden charges added later. We were a little nervous handing over the entire planning, but it worked out well.
Kashmir Package Cheaper Than Booking It Myself
I spent two weeks trying to plan Kashmir for my husband and me — comparing hotels in Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, checking cab rates, calculating everything. Then I spoke to TourGrids and their quote came in lower than what I had already shortlisted on my own. Same category hotels, airport transfers, all meals on houseboat days, and a dedicated coordinator on WhatsApp throughout. No hidden charges at checkout, which I was honestly expecting. The hotels were proper good — nothing felt like a budget downgrade. What actually surprised me was how quickly everything got confirmed — two calls and the itinerary was ready. Booking independently felt pointless after this.
Kashmir Felt Safe in Someone Else's Hands
Honestly, I was nervous about handing over the entire trip to a company I had never used before. My wife and I had always planned things ourselves, but Kashmir felt too important to get wrong. A friend suggested TourGrids and after two calls and a few WhatsApp chats, I felt like they actually understood what we wanted — not just a standard package. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time, and every checkpoint on the itinerary was covered without us having to follow up. No surprise charges at the end either, which I was half expecting. The coordinator kept checking in throughout the trip. First time fully trusting someone else with our travel, and it paid off completely.
Kashmir Package Price Beat Every Quote I Found
I spent two weeks trying to plan Kashmir myself — comparing hotels in Srinagar, finding reliable cabs to Gulmarg, checking houseboat rates. Every time I added it up, the number kept climbing. TourGrids quoted me a package for me and my wife that was genuinely lower than what I'd pieced together on my own, and it included everything — flights, houseboat stay, hotel in Pahalgam, all cabs, and most meals. Nothing felt like a compromise. The hotels were proper good, not budget fillers. Coordinator was always reachable on WhatsApp, no chasing required. No hidden charges at checkout either, which honestly surprised me. Sometimes handing it over to someone else just makes sense.
