Itinerary
Arrival in Srinagar, Dal Lake & Evening Pilgrimage Walk
Arrive at Srinagar Airport and transfer to your houseboat/hotel on Dal Lake. After check-in and some rest, enjoy a peaceful Shikara ride across Dal Lake — a soothing introduction to the Valley's spiritual atmosphere. Later, visit the Hazratbal Shrine, one of Kashmir's holiest Muslim sites located on the lake's northern shore. Conclude the day with a short walking visit to the Shankeracharya Temple (view and prayers) overlooking Srinagar.
Travel tip: Keep a light jacket handy; mornings and evenings can be cool.
Shah-e-Hamdan (Khanqah-e-Moula) & Old Srinagar Heritage Tour
Spend the day exploring Khanqah-e-Moula (Shah-e-Hamdan) — the central shrine of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, a pivotal figure in Kashmir's Sufi heritage. Visit Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta and stroll through Old Srinagar's lanes to experience traditional bazaars, wood-carvings and religious life. Afternoon at leisure for personal prayers, quiet reflection, or shopping for saffron, pashmina, and prayer beads.
Important: Modest attire is requested when visiting religious sites. Shoes may need to be removed at some shrines.
Excursion to Pahalgam — Mamleshwar Temple & Scenic Valley
Drive to Pahalgam (approx. 2.5–3 hours). En route or on arrival visit the Mamleshwar Temple, a historic Hindu shrine near Pahalgam. Enjoy the tranquil beauty of Betaab Valley and the Lidder River; spend time for reflection by the riverside. Check in at your Pahalgam hotel and attend evening aarti/prayers where available.
Note: Road conditions can vary; travel time is indicative. Carry water and personal medication.
Kheer Bhawani (Tulmul) & Ancient Temples — Martand & Avantipur
Return toward Srinagar with visits to the sacred Kheer Bhawani Temple (Tulmul) — a revered spring for Kashmiri Pandits — and to the archaeological remains of Martand Sun Temple and Avantipur (Avantiswami), showcasing Kashmir's layered religious history. Spend time in contemplation at the spring and explore the temple ruins with your guide to learn the cultural significance.
Please respect local customs; photography rules may apply at certain shrines.
Final Day — Local Markets, Optional Shrines & Departure
Morning at leisure for last-minute visits: consider a quick stop at Baba Reshi Shrine or additional time on Dal Lake. Shop for sacred souvenirs (prayer shawls, religious books, local handicrafts). Transfer to Srinagar Airport for your onward flight.
Remember to confirm your flight timings and allow extra time for airport formalities. If your schedule permits, request an early morning visit to Hazrat shrines for a calm devotion experience.

Recent Kashmir Reviews
Kashmir Cabs and Rooms Both Left Us Speechless
We had been putting off a Kashmir trip for two years, mostly because neither my husband nor I trusted random operators. A friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly, the decision paid off. The hotels they booked — especially the houseboat in Srinagar and the resort in Gulmarg — were proper good, well above what I was expecting at that price point. What really stood out was how clean and prompt the cab transfers were. Every morning the driver was already waiting, no delays, no confusion about routes. The team sorted everything on call before we even landed. No surprise charges either, which matters a lot when you're travelling as a couple on a fixed budget.
Our Kashmir Coordinator Never Left Us Guessing
We booked our Kashmir trip through TourGrids for our anniversary, and honestly the coordinator assigned to us — Rahul — was the real reason everything went well. Right from the planning stage, he was available on WhatsApp at odd hours, patiently answering every small question my husband and I had. When our Srinagar hotel had a room issue on day two, he got it fixed within the hour without us having to chase anyone. The itinerary was properly planned around what we wanted — not some copy-paste package. Hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time. No surprise charges at the end either. That kind of support genuinely makes a difference when you're travelling somewhere new.
First Time Trusting a Company With Kashmir
I'll be honest — booking a full trip through a travel company felt risky to me. My husband and I had always planned things ourselves, so handing over Kashmir to someone else was a little nerve-wracking. But TourGrids genuinely surprised us. Our coordinator Priya was available on WhatsApp throughout, answered every anxious question without making me feel like I was being annoying, and the itinerary she built around our dates was actually thoughtful — not just a copy-paste package. Hotels were proper good, cab driver was punctual, no hidden charges when we settled up. The whole trip just... worked. That kind of reliability is rare, and it means a lot when you're travelling somewhere as beautiful as Kashmir.
