Itinerary
Arrival, Settling in & Sunset Shikara Ride
Arrive in Srinagar and transfer to your hotel or traditional houseboat on Dal Lake. Take time to unwind and enjoy the floating tranquility. Late afternoon, board a classic Shikara for a gentle ride on Dal Lake — soak in the sunset and views of the Himalayan foothills. Evening welcome dinner featuring mild Kashmiri dishes and a briefing about the next days.
Tip: Keep your camera handy for the golden hour reflections on the water.
Mughal Gardens & Old City Food Walk
After breakfast, visit the Mughal Gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi — noted for their symmetrical terraces and floral displays. Return to town for a curated Old City walking tour focused on local cuisine: street snacks, bakeries, and a guided tasting of Kashmiri specialties culminating in a family-style Wazwan sampler at a local eatery.
Special note: The food walk is family-friendly; vegetarian options available on request.
Day Trip to Gulmarg — Gondola & Meadows (Optional Activities)
Enjoy a scenic drive to Gulmarg, a popular family destination. Explore alpine meadows, ride the Gondola (Phase I & II - optional paid upgrade) for panoramic views, and try short pony rides or simple nature walks depending on the family's energy levels. Return to Srinagar in the evening and relax aboard your houseboat or hotel.
Note: Gulmarg weather can be cooler — carry light jackets. Gondola tickets are seasonal and payable on-site.
Leisure Morning, Local Markets & Departure
