Day 01: Arrival in Srinagar
Upon landing at Srinagar airport, you will be warmly greeted by our representative who will assist you in transferring to a Super Deluxe houseboat. After settling in, take some time to relax in the comfort of royal hospitality. In the evening, enjoy a serene Shikara ride on Dal Lake, taking in the stunning natural beauty and the captivating sunset. The day ends with a welcome dinner and an overnight stay on the houseboat.

Day 02: Srinagar to Gulmarg (85 km / approx. 2½ hours drive)
Start the day early by checking out from the houseboat and driving to Gulmarg, passing scenic landscapes featuring willow trees, fast-flowing streams, and lush green meadows. Known as the “meadow of flowers,” Gulmarg is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and dense forests of conifers, fir, and pine trees. Spend the day exploring leisurely on foot or by pony rides (at your own expense), and don’t miss the chance to experience the thrilling Gondola lift ride (also at your own expense). Return to Srinagar in the evening for a comfortable overnight stay at a hotel.

Day 03: In Srinagar | Day Excursion to Sonamarg (90 km / approx. 3 hours drive)
Embark on a full-day excursion to Sonamarg, the “meadow of gold,” celebrated for its picturesque scenery and the fast-flowing Sindh River, popular for trout and mahseer fishing in the summer. Consider a pony ride to one of the nearby glaciers for some fun in the snow (at your own expense). After a day of adventure, return to your hotel in Srinagar for the night. Please note that the vehicle will only go up to the Sonamarg car stand, and from there you can hire ponies to reach the glaciers.

Day 04: On to Srinagar | Pahalgam (102 km / approx. 3½ hours drive)
Depart early for Pahalgam, the “valley of shepherds,” located at the confluence of the Lidder River and Sheeshnag Lake. On the way, stop to explore the Awantipura ruins, an 1100-year-old temple complex dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built by King Awantivarman. Upon arrival in Pahalgam, enjoy the breathtaking surroundings or take a leisurely walk to Baisaren, a picturesque village nestled amidst pine and fir forests. In the evening, return to Srinagar and stay overnight at a hotel.
