- Sonmarg excursion to Thajiwas Glacier
From₹13,800per person · twin sharing
Unlike a typical day-trip itinerary, this Kashmir tour package with Gulmarg stay lets you spend a full night in Gulmarg itself — giving you unhurried time at the gondola and meadows instead of a rushed same-day visit. This 5 nights / 6 days journey also covers Sonmarg’s glacier trail, Pahalgam’s Lidder Valley, and finishes with a night aboard a Dal Lake houseboat in Srinagar.
It’s the right pick if you specifically want to experience Gulmarg beyond a quick excursion — sunrise views, quieter slopes, and more time on the gondola without racing the clock.
- Overnight stay in Gulmarg with gondola access
- Sonmarg Thajiwas Glacier excursion
- Pahalgam Lidder Valley experience
- Houseboat finale on Dal Lake
- 3 hotel tiers to choose from

Questions about this trip
What is the best time to visit Kashmir?
Kashmir is a year-round destination. April–June is ideal for pleasant weather and blooming gardens, July–September for cooler summer escapes, and December–February for snow in Gulmarg and Sonmarg — this is also when an overnight Gulmarg stay is most rewarding for snow lovers.
Are meals included in the package?
Yes, daily breakfast and dinner (MAP plan) are included across your hotel and houseboat stays. Lunches are excluded so you can explore local eateries at each destination.
Can I customise this itinerary?
Absolutely. You can extend your Gulmarg stay, add Ladakh, upgrade your hotel category, or adjust the group size — just share your preferences via WhatsApp and we’ll tailor a quote within 30 minutes.
Is it safe to travel to Kashmir?
Advisories differ by country and change over time, so read the current ones before you pay: our guide Is Kashmir safe to visit? lists them with their dates. Our team is locally based in Srinagar and provides on-trip support throughout your stay, and we tell you plainly if a route or date needs to change.
What about airport transfers?
Airport pickup and drop from Srinagar (Sheikh-ul-Alam) airport is included in this package, along with all private vehicle transfers between destinations.
