4N / 5DSrinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonmarg

Start in Dharamshala, land in Srinagar and let a local team handle the hotels, the private cab and a pace that suits your group.
The short version for Dharamshala: a short journey, so 4–6 nights is enough for most plans.
Because the journey from Dharamshala is relatively short, 4–6 nights lets you cover the main places without feeling rushed. We are a travel agency based in Srinagar, so our plans follow real road, weather and hotel conditions: Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg, with the quieter Gurez Valley as a seasonal option.

By air
Dharamshala is served by Kangra Airport at Gaggal (DHM), which has limited flights; Chandigarh's IXC is the larger gateway, so many travellers connect through Delhi. Check which airport gives you the shortest total journey before booking.
By train
Trains toward Jammu Tawi and Katra serve this part of the country. The Vande Bharat service from Jammu Tawi and Katra to Srinagar completes the journey; confirm timings on IRCTC.
By road
Driving is possible but it is a long haul, and the Jammu–Srinagar highway can be affected by weather. Most travellers prefer to fly or take the train and use a cab in the valley. See our Kashmir cab booking page.
Send us your flight or train details and we plan the Srinagar pick-up around them. A Vande Bharat train connects Katra and Srinagar and was extended to Jammu Tawi in 2026; timetables change, so check IRCTC.
Himachal's hill towns are used to cool weather and winding roads, so the journey north feels familiar. Many travellers look beyond the main tourist spots and ask about quieter valleys such as Gurez and Doodpathri.
Because the journey is short, you can land in Srinagar by late morning and still enjoy Dal Lake the same afternoon. Spend the next days on Srinagar's gardens, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and keep the last morning free before heading to the airport or station.
Travellers from Himachal often go in the cooler off-season months, when hotels and routes are quieter.
For month-by-month conditions, see our honeymoon packages guide and the article on how much a Kashmir trip costs.
Every package page lists its inclusions and exclusions. Read our cancellation and refund policy and the Kashmir travel FAQs, and check current travel advisories before you book.
The cost of a Kashmir tour package generally starts from ₹6,000 per person and can go up to ₹40,000 or more per person, depending on the travel requirements.
The final price depends on the number of days, number of travellers, travel season, hotel category, transportation, meal plan, and destinations included in your itinerary. Standard, Deluxe, Super Deluxe, and Premium packages are available to suit different budgets (see our budget tours and all Kashmir holiday packages).
For example, travellers looking for a budget-friendly holiday may choose standard accommodation, while honeymoon couples may prefer premium hotels or a luxury houseboat on Nigeen Lake.
At Acme Tour & Travels, we recommend comparing the complete package inclusions rather than choosing an option based on price alone. Our guide on how much a Kashmir trip will cost explains the cost breakdown in detail.
We generally recommend 5 nights and 6 days for a relaxed first Kashmir trip. This gives you more time to explore the major destinations without rushing between places.
Suggested durations include:
For travellers interested in offbeat places, photography, or a slower holiday, we recommend allowing a week or longer.
Our standard package inclusions generally cover:
Some packages may also include a Shikara ride or other specified activities. Inclusions vary by quotation, so we provide the details before confirmation.
Gondola tickets, pony rides, local union taxis, entrance tickets, optional activities, shopping, and sightseeing outside the agreed itinerary may cost extra unless specifically included in writing.
We can also arrange accommodation-only, transport-only (see Kashmir car rental with driver), or customised packages according to your requirements.
We recommend booking in advance, particularly during summer holidays, the tulip season, New Year, and other busy travel periods.
Advance planning gives you a better opportunity to compare accommodation, confirm suitable rooms and vehicles, and organise your preferred itinerary. Availability and rates can change as demand increases.
We have helped travellers who arrived in Kashmir without confirmed hotel and cab arrangements and then struggled to find suitable options at reasonable prices.
For this reason, we recommend confirming your accommodation and transport before departure rather than relying entirely on last-minute arrangements. You can contact our Srinagar team to start planning.
Before confirming your trip, we recommend checking the following:
Our advice is simple: choose a package that matches your expectations, comfort, and budget rather than choosing the cheapest option automatically.
