Kashmir from Mumbai

The land price covers 5 nights: 1 in a deluxe houseboat, 4 in 3–4★ hotels, with breakfast and dinner; Private vehicle throughout; Shikara ride on Dal Lake; Airport pickup and drop. Everything in that list is confirmed in writing on your itinerary before you pay anything.

Not included: Flights to Srinagar (quoted live for your dates); Gondola tickets and local taxis at Pahalgam (union rules); Travel insurance; Lunches; Tips, personal expenses and anything not listed above. We publish exclusions as prominently as inclusions, so there is nothing left to discover at the hotel counter.

₹22,900 is per person on twin sharing — two people sharing one room — and it is the land price only. Flights are not in it. We quote the airfare live from Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International, BOM) for your own dates and show it as a separate line, so you can see exactly what each part of the trip costs instead of one bundled number. Travelling alone costs more, because of the single-occupancy supplement.

About 2h 45m in the air from Mumbai (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International). The route is flown non-stop, so there is no connection to miss. Daily non-stops to Srinagar. Exact timings depend on the airline and the day you fly, and we confirm them with your quote.

No. Kashmir is in India, so an Indian passport holder needs no visa and no entry permit. Carry a government photo ID — hotels are required to see one at check-in. Full details, with the official source, are in our Kashmir guide.

March to May for tulips and blossom; September to November for autumn chinar colour; December to February for snow and Gulmarg skiing. July–August is pleasant too (25°C) while the plains bake. No bad month for weather. Check the Amarnath Yatra dates (July–August) — Pahalgam gets crowded and roads restricted. We run this trip year round and will tell you honestly if your dates fall in the wrong season. Full details, with the official source, are in our Kashmir guide.

Yes. This is a starting point, not a fixed departure. Tell us your dates, how many of you are travelling and what you actually want to see, and we rebuild it — more nights, a different hotel grade, a different order, or a city added. You get a written day-by-day itinerary and an itemised price before you pay anything, and a quotation is not a booking.

Call or WhatsApp us and we send a written itinerary and quote. To confirm, you pay a booking deposit, with the balance due by the date shown on your proposal — the schedule depends on the destination and on how far ahead you book, because hotels and airlines set their own deadlines. A booking made close to departure is payable in full at confirmation. The exact amounts and dates are always written on your proposal before you pay anything, and the full booking conditions are published.
