Itinerary
Arrival in Srinagar & Shikara Experience
Arrive at Srinagar Airport and transfer to your picturesque houseboat on Dal Lake. Relax and acclimatize. In the late afternoon enjoy a traditional Shikara ride at sunset, with panoramic views of the lake and snow-dusted mountains. Evening briefing for the week's winter activities and safety orientation. Light activity day to help adjust to altitude.
Srinagar Sightseeing & Gear Fitting
Morning visit to the famed Mughal Gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. After lunch, transfer to a local winter-sports outfitter for professional ski/snowboard gear fitting and safety briefing. Evening at leisure on the houseboat with local Kashmiri cuisine.
Transfer to Gulmarg & Intro to Gulmarg Gondola
Scenic drive to Gulmarg (approx. 1.5–2 hours). Check in to your hotel/resort and prepare for the afternoon visit to the Gulmarg Gondola. Ride to Phase 1 for acclimatization and short guided snow-walks. Evening optional urn of hot kahwa and briefing for next day's skiing lesson. Gulmarg offers some of the best high-altitude skiing in Asia.
Beginner & Intermediate Ski Lessons
Full day guided skiing and snowboarding lessons with certified instructors. Beginners will cover fundamentals (stance, turning, stopping) on gentle slopes; intermediate participants will be guided to groomed runs and gentle off-piste areas. Equipment included: skis/boots/poles or snowboard, helmet, and instructors. Après-ski relaxation at the resort.
Advanced Skiing, Snowboarding & Optional Heli-skiing
Day focused on advanced runs and free-skiing for experienced guests. Options available: heli-skiing (subject to weather and extra cost), guided off-piste excursions, or group snowboarding sessions. Safety teams and avalanche-aware guides accompany off-piste groups. Pre-book heli-skiing and ensure fitness requirements are met. See our Adventure Sports in Kashmir guide for more details.
Gondola to Apharwat & Snow Activities
Take the Gulmarg Gondola up to Apharwat for spectacular high-altitude views and snow-play. Activities: scenic photography, snowmobiling (optional), short snowshoe hikes for panoramic viewpoints, and free time to explore. Return to resort for spa or rest. Evening cultural program with Kashmiri folk music (seasonal).
Transfer to Pahalgam & Snowshoeing Trek
Drive to Pahalgam after breakfast (approx. 2.5–3 hours) — the drive itself is scenic and offers photo stops. Afternoon guided snowshoe trek in the Betaab Valley or nearby trails, suitable for all fitness levels. Explore frozen riverbanks and pine forests. Overnight in a cozy mountain lodge with a bonfire (weather permitting). Pahalgam is quieter and perfect for snow-walking and photography.
Return to Srinagar & Departure
After breakfast, transfer back to Srinagar with optional quick stop at the Tulip/Meadow viewpoints (seasonal) or local artisan markets for Kashmiri crafts. Drop at Srinagar Airport for onward flight. End of the Kashmir Adventure package — guests depart with memories of skiing, snowshoeing, and Himalayan winter nights.

Recent Kashmir Reviews
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.
Kashmir With a Company I Actually Trusted
Honestly, I was nervous about handing over our entire Kashmir trip to a company I'd only spoken to on WhatsApp and one phone call. My husband and I had never booked through an agent before — always DIY. But from the first conversation, the coordinator was patient, answered every small doubt, and never pushed us into anything extra. The itinerary felt like it was built for us, not just copy-pasted. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time, and there were no hidden charges when we got the final invoice. Everything matched what was promised. Coming back, I realised how much mental space I actually had on this trip — and that itself felt like a luxury.
First Time Handing Over Control, Kashmir Proved Right
I had never booked through a travel company before — always planned everything myself and was honestly skeptical about trusting someone else with a Kashmir trip for my husband and me. But a friend referred TourGrids, and after one long WhatsApp conversation where they patiently answered every nervous question I had, something just felt right. They built a full itinerary around our pace, no unnecessary rushing. Hotels were proper good — not just decent, actually good. Our coordinator was reachable throughout, which I didn't expect. No surprise charges at checkout, nothing felt vague or rushed during planning. Kashmir was already beautiful, but not worrying about logistics made it feel like an actual holiday.
