About this journey
Overview
Five nights across the three faces of the Kashmir valley: the shikara-and-garden calm of Srinagar, the meadow-and-gondola drama of Gulmarg, and the riverside quiet of Pahalgam. You stay one night on a carved cedar houseboat and the rest in hotels chosen for views rather than volume. Everything is private — your own vehicle, your own driver, and days shaped around when you actually want to leave the room. We build in unhurried mornings, a candlelit dinner by the Dal, and enough time in Betaab and Aru valleys to feel like a couple on holiday, not a tour group on a schedule.
Trip highlights
- Arrive Srinagar, shikara hour on the Dal
- Mughal gardens and a houseboat night
- Drive to Gulmarg, gondola to Kongdoori
- Gulmarg to Pahalgam via saffron country
- Betaab, Aru and Chandanwari by local cab
6 days planned
Day-by-day itinerary
Met at Srinagar airport and driven to your hotel by the boulevard. After lunch a private shikara glides you past floating gardens and the silver poplars of Nigeen, returning as the lake turns copper at dusk.
