Group Tour
Kashmir Short Escape — Srinagar & Gulmarg in Four Nights
A tight, well-priced four-night valley break for first-timers and friend groups: Dal Lake, the Mughal gardens, Gulmarg's gondola and a Doodhpathri day out.
About this journey
Overview
Kashmir on a long weekend, without the endless driving. You stay three nights in Srinagar and one in Gulmarg, which keeps the circuit compact and the price honest. Days cover the essentials — a shikara across the Dal, the terraced Mughal gardens, the gondola above Gulmarg's meadows — plus a quieter run out to Doodhpathri, the valley locals go to when Gulmarg gets busy. It suits friend groups and first-time visitors who want the highlight reel with breathing room. Vehicles are shared within your own group only, and dinners are included so evening costs stay predictable.
Trip highlights
- Land in Srinagar, boulevard and lake sunset

Our Bali honeymoon was planned down to the smallest detail without ever feeling rigid. The floating breakfast surprise on day two is still the photo everyone asks about.

Travelled with two children under eight and never once felt rushed. The Dubai itinerary was clearly built by someone who has actually travelled with kids.

My Schengen application had been refused once before. The team rebuilt the entire file, explained every document, and it was approved in eleven days.
