Later visit the iconic Mughal Gardens (Shalimar Bagh / Nishat Bagh) for a gentle stroll. Evening briefing about the Kashmir Adventure tour package logistics and safety. Light acclimatisation recommended on day 1.
Srinagar to Sonamarg — Scenic Drive & Evening Walk
After breakfast depart for Sonamarg (approx. 2.5–3 hours). En route enjoy panoramic views of the valley and stop for photos. Check in at your Sonamarg camp/lodge. Afternoon short acclimatization walk to nearby meadows and viewpoints to preview the Thajiwas Glacier. Evening free to relax; briefing for the next day's glacier walk. Carry a light daypack and warm layers — temperatures are cooler in Sonamarg.
Thajiwas Glacier Guided Walk — Glacier Exploration
Full day dedicated to a guided glacier walk at Thajiwas. After safety briefing and gear check, start a moderate trek across alpine meadows leading to the glacier base. Explore ice formations, creeks and panoramic valley vistas with your certified local guide. Picnic lunch beside the glacier and return to Sonamarg in late afternoon. This is a moderate trek — comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing required.
Sindh River Safari & White-Water Rafting
Today experience an adrenaline-packed Sindh River safari and white-water rafting (grade depends on seasonal flow). Begin with safety briefing, life-jackets and helmets provided. Navigate exhilarating rapids under expert guides, followed by a riverside lunch. Afternoon optional activities: pony rides, short jeep safaris to nearby ridgelines or photography stops at panoramic viewpoints. Return to the lodge; debrief and relax. Rafting offered to participants meeting health requirements; minimum age applies.
Adventure Circuit — Day Hike / Local Exploration & Return to Srinagar
Morning short adventure circuit — choose between an alpine day hike to nearby high meadows, a jeep ride to scenic vantage points, or a cultural visit to local shepherd settlements. After lunch depart Sonamarg and drive back to Srinagar. Evening optional Shikara sunset or stroll through local markets to collect Kashmiri handicrafts and saffron souvenirs.
Departure from Srinagar — Transfer to Airport

Recent Kashmir Reviews
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.
