6 Nights 7 Days Kashmir Tour Package from Delhi

Your 6 Nights 7 Days Delhi to Kashmir Trip begins with a direct flight from Delhi to Srinagar, which usually takes around 1 hour 20 minutes. Our representative will be waiting at Srinagar Airport with a nameplate, and from there it's roughly a 20 to 25-minute drive into the city, depending on traffic near Rangreth.

Once you check into your houseboat or hotel and freshen up, we head out in the afternoon to the Mughal Gardens — Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh are the two we usually prioritise on Day 1, since they sit close together on the Dal Lake foreshore road. These terraced gardens were laid out by the Mughal emperors and are especially pretty in an evening light, with the Zabarwan hills as backdrop.

As evening sets in, we take you for a Shikara ride on Dal Lake — floating past floating gardens, houseboats, and the famous Dal Gate area while the light changes over the water.

Local tip: Ask your Shikara boatman about the "floating market" route for another free morning if your itinerary allows.
Food suggestion: Try Rogan Josh or Yakhni for your first Kashmiri dinner; a wazwan-style thali is worth doing once during the trip.
Photography spot: Nishat Bagh's terraced fountains at golden hour, and Dal Lake from the Shikara at sunset.

Travel: Airport to Hotel (8–10 km, 20–25 minutes)
Highlights: Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh & Dal Lake Shikara Ride

Day two of your 6 Nights 7 Days Kashmir Tour Package from Delhi is a full-day trip to Gulmarg, roughly 50 km from Srinagar. The drive takes about 1.5 to 2 hours one way, depending on the Tangmarg road traffic, and passes through pine forests and small apple-growing villages.

Gulmarg's biggest draw is the Gondola — one of the highest cable cars in the world, done in two phases. Phase 1 takes you to Kongdoori, and Phase 2 (weather and ticket-availability permitting) goes up to Apharwat Peak, where snow is present for most of the year. Besides the Gondola, we usually walk you past the Gulmarg Golf Course — one of the highest green golf courses in the world — and a couple of viewpoints looking toward Nanga Parbat on a clear day.

Local tip: Book Gondola Phase 1 tickets early in the day; Phase 2 often sells out or closes by early afternoon due to weather.
Food suggestion: Try Kahwa and hot maggi from the small stalls near the Gondola base — a Gulmarg tradition, especially in winter.
Photography spot: Kongdoori meadow in summer, snow-covered pine slopes in winter.

Travel: Srinagar to Gulmarg (~50 km, 1.5–2 hours each way)
Highlights: Gulmarg Gondola, Apharwat Peak & Golf Course

One of the fuller sightseeing days on your Kashmir 6 Nights 7 Days Tour from Delhi. Pahalgam sits about 90 km from Srinagar, and the drive itself is part of the experience — you'll pass through Pampore, known as Kashmir's saffron town, and stop briefly at the Avantipur Ruins, a 9th-century temple complex built during the reign of King Avantivarman.

Once in Pahalgam, you're along the Lidder River for most of the day. We typically cover Betaab Valley first (named after the Bollywood film shot there), followed by Aru Valley, a quieter meadow-and-pine-forest spot about 12 km further. Chandanwari can be added as an optional stop if road conditions and time allow.

Local tip: Betaab Valley and Aru Valley both charge a small local entry/vehicle fee — keep cash handy.
Food suggestion: Trout fish is a Pahalgam specialty — a few riverside eateries near Lidder serve it fresh.
Photography spot: The pine-lined banks of Betaab Valley and the open meadow at Aru.

Travel: Srinagar to Pahalgam (~90 km, 2.5–3 hours each way)
Highlights: Pampore, Avantipura, Betaab Valley & Aru Valley

Sonamarg — literally "Meadow of Gold" — is about 80 km from Srinagar and is one of the highlight days on this 6 Nights 7 Days Delhi to Kashmir Tour. The drive follows the Sindh Valley, running alongside the Sindh River most of the way, with the Zojila mountain range visible in the distance as you get closer.

The main draw here is Thajiwas Glacier, reachable by a short pony ride or a walk from the base, depending on your pace and the season. Snow is present here for a large part of the year, even when Srinagar itself is warm. This day works well for families who want a snow experience without going all the way to Gulmarg's higher altitude.

Local tip: Pony rides to Thajiwas Glacier are optional and paid locally — negotiate the rate with the pony union counter, not individual handlers.
Food suggestion: Try noon chai (pink salt tea) with a local bakery item at one of the roadside stalls before the glacier walk.
Photography spot: The glacier viewpoint and the Sindh River bends along the highway.

Travel: Srinagar to Sonamarg (~80 km, 2.5 hours each way)
Highlights: Sindh Valley & Thajiwas Glacier

This day is deliberately built as a breather in your 6 Nights 7 Days Kashmir Trip from Delhi — a quieter meadow day after four fairly active excursion days. Doodhpathri ("Valley of Milk") is around 42 km from Srinagar, known for its rolling green meadows, grazing sheep, and a stream that appears milky-white as it flows over white stones. Yusmarg, roughly similar in distance, is an alternative meadow destination with pine forests and views toward the Pir Panjal range.

Which one we take usually depends on road conditions that week — both are genuinely lovely, and we'll advise you closer to the date based on which route is in better shape.

Local tip: This is a good day to bring a light picnic blanket — the meadows are perfect for just sitting and relaxing rather than a packed sightseeing schedule.
Food suggestion: Local walnuts and dried fruit vendors are often set up near the meadow entrance.
Photography spot: Wide meadow shots with grazing horses and the stream at Doodhpathri.

Travel: Srinagar to Doodhpathri/Yusmarg (~42 km, ~2 hours each way)
Highlights: Doodhpathri or Yusmarg Meadows

Your last full day covers Srinagar city itself, and this is often when the houseboat night is scheduled if it wasn't on Day 1. We start with Shankaracharya Temple, perched on a hilltop with one of the best panoramic views over Srinagar and Dal Lake — worth the climb, especially in clear weather.

From there, we head to Pari Mahal ("Palace of Fairies"), a terraced Mughal-era structure originally built as an observatory and later a Sufi teaching school. If timings work out, we also stop at Hazratbal Shrine, one of Kashmir's most revered religious sites, on the northern bank of Dal Lake.

The afternoon is usually kept a little open for local shopping — Srinagar's Lal Chowk and the shops around Polo View are good for Pashmina shawls, papier-mâché items, and dry fruits. In the evening, you check into your premium houseboat on Dal Lake, and we arrange one more Shikara ride at sunset.

Local tip: Bargain politely at Lal Chowk shops — most local vendors expect some negotiation on Pashmina and handicrafts.
Food suggestion: Try a Harissa breakfast if you're up early enough — it's a Kashmiri winter specialty, though available seasonally.
Photography spot: The Shankaracharya hilltop view over Dal Lake, and the houseboat deck at sunset.

Travel: Local Srinagar sightseeing (~25–30 km total)
Highlights: Shankaracharya Temple, Pari Mahal, Hazratbal Shrine, Local Markets & Houseboat Stay

The final day of your 6 Nights 7 Days Kashmir Package from Delhi is kept light on purpose. After breakfast on the houseboat, you check out and our driver transfers you to Srinagar Airport for your return flight to Delhi. Depending on your flight time, there may be a short window for last-minute shopping near the airport road.

Local tip: Keep Pashmina and saffron purchase receipts handy if asked at airport security checks.
Food suggestion: A quick Kashmiri breakfast of girda (local bread) and butter tea before checkout.
Photography spot: One last houseboat-deck shot of Dal Lake in the morning light.

Travel: Houseboat to Airport (~12–15 km, 30–40 minutes, plus buffer for airport security lines)
