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 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.
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.

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.
