Kashmir holidays from Mumbai
Kashmir holidays from Mumbai take in a houseboat on Dal Lake in Srinagar, the meadows and gondola of Gulmarg, the river valleys of Pahalgam and the glacier at Sonamarg. Our three private journeys run 4 to 7 nights and start from ₹17,500 per person. Go in April–June for meadows and tulips, or December–February for snow.
Why go
- A night or two on a cedar-panelled houseboat on Dal Lake
- The Gulmarg gondola to the snowline, in any season
- Pine valleys and river walks in Pahalgam and Sonamarg
- Snow from December to February, tulips in April

When to go
Best time to visit Kashmir
April to June, and December to February for snow. Spring and early summer bring green meadows and the Srinagar tulip garden (usually late March to April). Winter turns Gulmarg white. Late October brings golden chinar trees.

Prafull's notes
- Book the Gulmarg Gondola online the moment your dates are fixed — Phase 2 tickets sell out in season. We do it for you.
- In Pahalgam, private cars can't go into Aru, Betaab and Chandanwari; local union cabs take you, and we pre-arrange them.
- Snow in Gulmarg is most reliable from late December to February. Pack proper boots; we can arrange snow gear on hire.

Kashmir questions
How many days are enough for Kashmir?
Five or six nights covers Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg comfortably. With four nights, focus on Srinagar and Gulmarg — our Kashmir Easy journey.
When is the best time to see snow in Kashmir?
Late December to February for snow in Gulmarg and Sonamarg. In April and May you'll still see snow on the peaks and at Gondola Phase 2.
Is a houseboat stay safe and comfortable?
Yes. We use well-run houseboats on Dal or Nigeen Lake with attached bathrooms and heating in winter. Shikaras take you to and from the shore.
Is Kashmir suitable for senior citizens?
Yes, with an easy pace. Gulmarg sits at about 2,650 m, so we keep the first day light and avoid long walks at altitude.
