5 Nights 6 Days Kashmir Tour Package from Delhi

Your Delhi to Kashmir 5N 6D Tour Package begins with a flight from Delhi to Srinagar. Flight time is roughly 1 hour 20 minutes, and most morning flights land by mid-morning, giving you the rest of the day to settle in.

Our representative will receive you at Srinagar Airport and transfer you to your hotel or houseboat, about 25–40 minutes depending on your property's location. After check-in and a short rest, we recommend heading out by early afternoon.

Mughal Gardens: Visit Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh, terraced gardens built by the Mughals with the Dal Lake and Zabarwan hills as backdrop. Allow about 1.5 hours for both.
Dal Lake & Shikara Ride: In the evening, take a Shikara ride across Dal Lake. Sunset timing (roughly 5:30–6:30 PM depending on season) gives you the best light for photos.

Food tip: Try Kashmiri Kahwa (a spiced green tea) from one of the lakeside stalls. For dinner, ask your driver about a nearby Wazwan-style restaurant.
Photography spot: The evening Shikara ride with the sun setting behind the hills is hard to beat.

Travel: Airport to Hotel (8–10 km, 25–40 minutes)
Highlights: Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh & Dal Lake Shikara Ride

Gulmarg is about 50–56 km from Srinagar, roughly a 2 to 2.5-hour drive depending on traffic and road conditions. We suggest leaving by 8:00 AM to make the most of the day and avoid gondola queues.

Gondola Ride: The highlight of the day, taking you up in two stages toward Apharwat Peak, one of the highest cable car rides in the world. Phase 1 gets you to Kongdoori; Phase 2 (weather-permitting) goes higher toward the snowline.
Snow activities (seasonal): Between December and March, sledging, skiing, and snowboarding are available at the base, optional and paid separately.
Gulmarg Golf Course: One of the highest green golf courses in the world, worth a quick photo stop.

Local tip: Gondola tickets sell out fast in peak winter season (Dec–Feb). Book as early in the day as possible; we'll guide you on real-time availability on the ground.
Food tip: Try Kahwa or hot Maggi at one of the small stalls near the gondola base.

Travel: Srinagar to Gulmarg (50–56 km, 2–2.5 hours)
Highlights: Gulmarg Gondola, Apharwat Peak, Golf Course & Meadows

Pahalgam is about 90–95 km from Srinagar, around a 2.5 to 3-hour drive. We suggest an 8:00 AM departure to cover everything comfortably.

Pampore: En route, you'll pass through Kashmir's saffron belt — especially beautiful during October–November flowering season.
Avantipur Ruins: A quick stop at these 9th-century Hindu temple ruins dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built during King Avantivarman's reign.
Betaab Valley: Named after the Bollywood film shot here, roughly 15 km from Pahalgam town, known for its meadows and pine forests.
Aru Valley: About 12 km from Pahalgam, a quieter valley ideal for fewer crowds and a peaceful mountain setting.

Food tip: Pahalgam has excellent local trout, freshwater fish farmed right in the valley.
Photography spot: Betaab Valley's meadow, framed by pine trees on both sides, is the classic Pahalgam shot.

Travel: Srinagar to Pahalgam (90–95 km, 2.5–3 hours)
Highlights: Pampore, Avantipura, Betaab Valley, Aru Valley & Lidder River

Sonamarg is about 80 km from Srinagar (or roughly 145 km if travelling from Pahalgam), around a 2.5 to 3-hour drive. Departure by 7:30–8:00 AM is ideal since Sonamarg's weather can shift quickly in the afternoon.

Sindh Valley: The drive follows the Sindh River, one of the most scenic stretches in this entire trip.
Thajiwas Glacier: From Sonamarg town, reach the glacier viewpoint by pony or on foot (about 4–5 km one way), optional and weather-dependent.
Pony ride (optional): Locally arranged and paid separately.

Local tip: Sonamarg access can occasionally be affected by weather or road conditions, particularly outside peak season. We'll always confirm accessibility with you before departure day.
Food tip: Roadside stalls along the route sell fresh corn and local apples in season.

Travel: Srinagar to Sonamarg (80 km, 2.5–3 hours)
Highlights: Sindh Valley, Thajiwas Glacier & Alpine Scenery

A more relaxed day within Srinagar itself, and the night most travellers remember longest on this trip — your stay aboard a traditional houseboat.

Shankaracharya Temple: Perched on a hilltop, this ancient temple offers panoramic views over Srinagar city and Dal Lake, best visited in the morning.
Pari Mahal: A Mughal-era monument on Zabarwan hill, once used as an observatory and school of astrology, with terraced gardens.
Hazratbal Shrine: One of Kashmir's most revered Muslim shrines, located on the banks of Dal Lake.
Local shopping: Lal Chowk or the Polo View market for Pashmina shawls, Kashmiri carpets, dry fruits and papier-mâché items.

Houseboat check-in: By afternoon, check into your houseboat on Dal Lake or Nigeen Lake.
Evening Shikara Ride: A second, more relaxed Shikara ride, often included as part of the houseboat stay.

Food tip: Many houseboats serve home-style Kashmiri dinners — try Rogan Josh, Dum Aloo, or Nadru Yakhni if it's on the menu.
Photography spot: Sunrise from your houseboat deck over Dal Lake is worth setting an early alarm for.

Travel: Local sightseeing (15–20 km)
Highlights: Shankaracharya Temple, Pari Mahal, Hazratbal Shrine, Local Markets & Houseboat Stay

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast on your houseboat or at your hotel before checking out. Depending on your flight timing, you may have a couple of free hours for last-minute shopping or a final walk along the lake.

Our representative will transfer you to Srinagar Airport, about 30–40 minutes from most central Srinagar locations, for your return flight to Delhi. This wraps up your Delhi to Kashmir Tour Package 5 Nights 6 Days, and we always ask for feedback so we can keep improving how we plan future trips.

Local tip: Airport security in Srinagar can take longer than usual due to additional checks. We recommend reaching the airport at least 2.5 hours before domestic departures.
