After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (approx. 1.5 hours from Srinagar), home to one of the world’s highest gondola cable cars. Ride the Gulmarg Gondola (Phase 1, tickets payable on-site) up to Kongdoori for sweeping views of the Pir Panjal range. Spend the day amid pine forests, meadows and — in winter — snow-covered slopes. Optional activities like skiing or snow sports can be arranged on request. Return to your Srinagar houseboat by evening for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3
Pahalgam Day Trip

Explore the Lidder River valley, with optional visits to Betaab Valley, Aru Valley or Chandanwari (on direct payment). Pony rides on other Pahalgam trails can be arranged locally; Baisaran meadow was reported closed in April 2026, so we confirm access before you travel. Return to Srinagar in the evening for your last night’s stay on the houseboat.
