Itinerary
Arrival in Srinagar & Relaxing Dal Lake Evening
Arrive at Srinagar Airport and meet your private representative. Transfer to your charming houseboat or lake-facing hotel. Spend the afternoon settling in and enjoying the views. In the evening take a gentle Shikara ride at sunset (welcome ride) to absorb the serene ambiance of Dal Lake and watch the floating life. Return to the houseboat for dinner and overnight stay.
Tip: Carry light woolens for the evenings; the lake breeze can be cool.
Mughal Gardens, Local Sights & Private Shikara Dinner
After breakfast, explore the iconic Mughal Gardens — Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi — each offering immaculate terraces and classic Kashmiri landscaping. Visit the Shankaracharya Temple or Hazratbal Shrine for panoramic city views and cultural insight. In the evening, experience the centerpiece of this honeymoon package: a romantic private Shikara dinner on Dal Lake with candlelight, Kashmiri cuisine, and peaceful waters reflecting the stars. Overnight in Srinagar.
Important: Private Shikara dinner is timed to sunset; please confirm any dietary preferences in advance.
Transfer to Gulmarg — Gondola & Meadows
After an early breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (approx. 2 hours) via scenic valleys. Check in and relax. Later take the famous Gulmarg Gondola (Phase I & II optional) to Apharwat Peak for breathtaking Himalayan panoramas and meadowland vistas. Perfect for romantic photos and light walks across the alpine meadows. Return for a cozy dinner at the hotel.
Tip: Gondola operates weather permitting — bring sunscreen and sunglasses at higher altitudes.
Gulmarg to Pahalgam — Scenic Drive & Riverside Leisure
Drive from Gulmarg towards Pahalgam, stopping en route at Pampore saffron fields and the ancient ruins at Awantipora for quick photo stops. Arrive in Pahalgam and check into your riverside hotel. Spend the evening strolling along the Lidder River or enjoying a relaxed couples' walk through local meadows.
Note: The drive showcases Kashmir’s changing landscapes — keep your camera ready.
Meadows Escape — Betaab Valley, Aru & Chandanwari
Today is dedicated to the famous meadow valleys. Visit Betaab Valley (renowned for movie shoots), Aru Valley and Chandanwari. Enjoy leisurely walks, optional pony rides, and time for photos in flower-speckled meadows. This day is curated for couples to enjoy privacy, nature, and simply ‘be’ together amidst alpine scenery. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay in Pahalgam.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for meadow walks; weather can change quickly so carry a light rain jacket.
Departure — Drive to Srinagar & Fly Home
After breakfast, check out and drive back to Srinagar Airport (approx. 2.5–3 hours). En route you may stop for last-minute shopping of Kashmiri handicrafts, shawls and saffron (time permitting). Assistance for airport formalities and departure.

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.
