jammu kashmir tour itinerary

“You have got Kashmir and Himalayas. You are the richest when it comes to natural beauty!” – While we were playing in the snow at Mount Titlis on our trip to Switzerland, our guide remarked vividly. Years later, I can now comprehend the statement completely. As I relive every moment of our 9 days trip to Kashmir . After hearing, reading and witnessing the beauty of Kashmir through books, media and our own parents, we waited for years to finally be able to experience this “heaven on earth”. There is for sure, that every Indian wants to visit this paradise at least once in his lifetime. We have compiled this complete guide for a trip to Kashmir that will help you plan your trip to Kashmir in a smooth, hassle free manner. And here we bring to you our 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with family.

Day 1 : Arrival in Srinagar

We took a flight to Srinagar from Bangalore. It was a connecting flight. As there was no suitable budget direct flights from Bangalore to Srinagar operating at this point. We had a flight from Bangalore to Delhi and then another flight from Delhi to Srinagar. We reached Srinagar early in the morning, around 8:00am. The April-June time frame is peak tourist season in Kashmir. So, the influx of tourist is high. There was a huge queue at the airport exit, after navigating it we took a cab to our hotel, Walisons Hotel, Srinagar .

Since we had a night flight, and we arrived early at our hotel, our rooms were not ready. So, we headed straight to the Tulip Gardens near Dal Lake . Since, the Tulips were in full bloom at this point, we didn’t want the chance to miss witnessing them in full bloom. We dropped our luggage at the hotel. And then requested the driver who dropped us from airport to hotel to take us to the Tulip Gardens. By 8:30am, we reached the gardens. There was no queue at the ticket counter and no rush inside.

We thoroughly enjoyed the gardens. And then by 10:00am, we headed back to the Tulip Garden parking lot. Where we had our late breakfast.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

While visiting the Tulip Gardens of Kashmir, I couldn’t help but draw a comparison in my mind with the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens of Netherlands which I had visited on my trip to Europe, from Amsterdam. Each one has it’s own surreal beauty. And I couldn’t really tell which one is better than the other. So, I will say, visit both ! (I am always greedy when it comes to travel :D)

After spending considerable time witnessing the tulips and having some picture perfect instagram moments with them, we returned back to our hotel. This time, our rooms were ready. We shifted to the rooms to catch up on some much needed sleep. And retired to bed after an early dinner later.

Note: You can also arrive in Srinagar by road from Jammu. Jammu is well connected with rest of India through road and rail network.

Day 2 : Places to visit in Srinagar

Today, post breakfast, we started our exploration of Srinagar – our one day of sightseeing in Srinagar . From this day onwards we had booked a dedicated cab till the end of our journey.

The first site we visited was Pari Mahal. It is a beautiful garden around a 7 storied building. But the best part is the views of Srinagar, Dal Lake and the surrounding mountains that you get from the garden. Take a virtual tour of Pari Mahal with us in this vlog :

Next we headed to the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar. We visited Chash-me-Shahi Garden and Nishat Bagh. Although there are other gardens also in Srinagar including Shalimar Garden, after visiting 2 mughal gardens of Srinagar, we felt we had enough 🙂 . Since, all these gardens look alike beyond a point.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

So, next around 4:00pm, we headed for Shikara ride. After much hassle and bargaining, we and the shikara owners came to an agreement. And finally we had a 2.5 hrs Shikara ride on the Dal Lake . Which included visiting all the famous spots around the lake, stopping for tea and snacks and finally visiting the shops on the bank of the Dal Lake.

Day 3 : Srinagar to Pahalgam Transfer

Today, post breakfast, we traveled from Srinagar to Pahalgam . We reached our hotel in Pahalgam, the Oswal Cottage , by afternoon. And had lunch. Post this, we enjoyed the beautiful sceneries around. And just relaxed. However, some of our friends headed to explore Bisaran Valley. It takes around 3 hours for the complete round trip. Although Bisaran Valley is only 6km from where we stayed. But the terrain is rough. And only accessible through a horse ride. Since we were with kids and moreover our younger one hates any animal interactions, so, we didn’t go. Although if you are not constrained like us, I will highly recommend visiting the Bisaran Valley. Because it is very beautiful.

Day 4: Pahalgam to Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandwari

Today we has another action packed day in our Kashmir trip itinerary with kids. As, we spent the day visiting Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandwari from Pahalgam . These are the most famous and beautiful valleys around Pahalgam. Which have completely different charms in different seasons.

When we arrived here in April, the spring was in full bloom and the valley was on the verse of welcoming summer. Green meadows spread in front of the snow clapped mountain peaks reminded me of some of the beautiful scenes we had encountered in Tuscany while doing day trips from Florence when we spent almost a week in Italy.

Day 5: Pahalgam to Gulmarg Transfer

Today, post breakfast, we started for Gulmarg from Pahalgam. Watch our road trip experience from Pahalgam to Gulmarg on this vlog . Actually, Gulmarg is the most famous ski resort destination in Asia and India. By the time we booked our accommodation, almost everything in Gulmarg was either full or exorbitantly charged. So, we booked our stay at Hotel Pineview in Tangmarg which is almost 10km before Gulmarg. Nevertheless, we reached here by noon.We had our lunch on the way. After reaching Tangmarg, our driver connected us with a guide who was going to accompany us to the Gondola ride.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

The guide further took us to a shop where we hired shoes, jackets and bought gloves and caps for all of us to be used the next day. Also, we rented a vehicle to take us till the Gondola. Since our regular cab drivers prefered to return back to Srinagar. The shoes were to be packed and placed in the car the next morning. So, booking them in advance really saved our time.

Day 6: Gulmarg Gondola Ride

Finally arrived that day of our Kashmir Trip itinerary with family which the kids were waiting for since day 1 – the day of Gondola Ride in Gulmarg . Today, we woke up really early in the morning. And started around 8:00am from our hotel in Tangmarg for the Gulmarg Gondola point. We had pre-booked our Gondola ride online through this government site. Also, we had booked for both phase 1  and phase 2  . Since when we reached here, the snow in phase 1 had reduced a lot. After arriving at the parking for Gulmarg Gondola, we walked to the Gondola and reached there just in time, around 8:30am. Still there was already a huge winding queue. And it was only at 10:30 that we reached the Gondola cable car.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

As we sat into the Gondola and started our journey up the mountains, I couldn’t help recall the same experience scaling the heights of Mount Titlis on a day trip from Lucerne with Aashi. Who was precisely the same age at that time as Ishi is now. And once we reached the top, we had a gala time playing in the snow. The memories are as fresh as if it happened yesterday. I guess that’s why we need to spend more on experiences and less on material things.

We reached phase 1 in around 10 mins. But we decided to go to Phase 2 first. Because this year, the summer started early and there was not much snow in phase 1 left. So we went to Phase 2. However, the weather soon turned our plans upside down. It started with a snowfall and then turned into a snow storm. I and my friend decided to return back to the Gondola station with the kids. As the temperature dropped to -5 degrees and the kids started to feel cold. However Abhishek and 2 other friends decided to take the plunge and enjoy snow activities.

Day 7: Gulmarg to Srinagar Transfer

After having a gala day at the Gulmarg Gondola, we started back for Srinagar from Gulmarg on the 7th day of our 9 days Kashmir Trip Itinerary with kids. We started post breakfast from our hotel in Tangmarg, Hotel Pineview . And reached our houseboat, Chicago Group of Houseboats in Srinagar by lunch time. Yes, today we were going to experience staying on a houseboat in Srinagar . The access to the houseboat was through a short Shikara ride from ghat no 9 on Dal Lake. After reaching the houseboat and dumping our luggage, we again took another shikara to return back to the main road for lunch. Since lunch was not provided on the Shikara. After having lunch, we just relaxed in our houseboat in Srinagar. And prepared for the next day when we planned to have a day trip .

Day 8: Srinagar to Doodhpathri day trip

On the second last day of our 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with family, we embarked on a day trip to Doodhpathri from Srinagar. Although for the past 2-3 days we were having a tussle to select between Sonmarg and Doodhpathri.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

Sonmarg is yet another winter destinations in Srinagar. It witnesses a lot of snowfall in the winters. So much so that you can only travel here with special chained vehicles that can navigate snow. However, the snow cover had reduced when we visited here in mid-April. But the temperature was still very low here.

Doodhpathri on the other hand is a lush green meadow. It was not that chilling cold, not that crowded and touristy also. So, finally we picked Doodhpathri over Sonmarg. And then had a wonderful day basking in the sun in one of the most beautiful valleys of Kashmir.

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

Day 9: Flight back from Srinagar

Finally came the day to say goodbye to Kashmir. We boarded our morning flight from Srinagar and embarked on our way back home. With memories of a lifetime. However, we want to come back to Kashmir. This time in the winter season. To witness the completely transformed landscape of Kashmir. And the winter wonderland that it is called. Hope that materialises soon.

Alternate Kashmir trip itinerary with family

The 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with kids that we did was a really relaxed one. Since we were traveling with little kids, we didn’t want to overexert ourselves. But, if you are pressed by time on your Kashmir trip itinerary with family, or want to cover alternate things, here are some alternate Kashmir trip itinerary with family options for you. Some of these are aggressive on timelines, you can opt them when traveling solo, with friends or backpacking.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 1 : 5 days trip to Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

  • Arrive in Srinagar in the morning. Get an early checkin at your hotel if possible. If not, at least dump your luggage. And head to the Tulip Gardens. Spend couple of hours here. Have lunch. And post lunch take a Sikara ride on the Dal Lake. Stay near Dal Lake if possible.
  • Srinagar to Pahalgam day trip. Start early in the morning by 7:00am, reach Pahalgam by 9:30am. From here, take a day trip to explore Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandanwari. Return to Srinagar by 6:30 or 7:00pm in the evening
  • Srinagar to Gulmarg day trip. Today, go straight to the Gulmarg Gondola from Srinagar. Pre book the gondola ride tickets. Reach here by 10:00am. And then enjoy the snow activities in Gulmarg. For a complete detail of how to book the Gondola and how to enjoy your day in Gulmarg, read this post.
  • Do a day trip from Srinagar to Sonmarg today.
  • Spend half the day sightseeing in Srinagar. Visit some of the famous gardens, Pari Mahal and some other attractions. Post noon, checkout from your hotel and start back home.

While staying all 5 nights in Srinagar, you can spend a couple on a houseboat – a different kind of experience.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 2 : 3 days visiting Pahalgam and Gulmarg

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

If you are really pressed by time, I will suggest, skip Srinagar. And head straight to Pahalgam and Gulmarg. Do a day trip to each of these from Srinagar. And then head back to your home on the third day. Of course, you will miss the Sikara ride on the Dal lake and the other attractions that Srinagar has got to offer. But then you have to make a choice when you are that limited by time.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 3 : Srinagar, Pahalgam, Kargil and Ladakh

jammu kashmir tour itinerary

This is a very different itinerary than the rest two I proposed above. If you are visiting Kashmir in summer months, like June, there is not much of snow to enjoy. So, you can altogether avoid the snow destinations like Sonmarg or Gulmarg. Spend the first couple of days in Srinagar enjoying the local sites. And then do a day trip to Pahalgam from Srinagar on the third day. On the fourth day head to Kargil. And from there, embark on a trip to Ladakh for the next 5 days!! Making the most of your time in Kashmir. And combining two most exotic destinations of India into one single trip!!

Hi, In case your are aware, could you please share how many days in advance the Gulmarg Gondola ride tickets can be booked ? Is the portal ( https://www.jammukashmircablecar.com/ ) the only online option to book the tickets in advance ? On this portal I don’t see any ticket availability between May 15th till June 25th 2023.

Hi Siddharth, we had booked the tickets almost 10 days in advance. The site opens the ticket booking window in stages. So, it might still not be open for May. This is the official site to book tickets online but if you are facing difficulty booking, you can ask a travel agent to book it for you. They will know the exact dates when the window is going to open

THANKS FOR THIS DETAILED INFORMATION. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH IS THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR FOR PICTURING THE HEAVENLY BEAUTY (as you have mentioned ). THANKS. DO PRO PHOTOGRAPHY, WILL CARRY EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT, DONT WANT EQUIPMENT TO GET WET.

Thank you! We visited in April, and we saw the tulip festival. The valley was green while there was snow still in the upper reaches of Himalayas. If you want to witness the snow season then visit in Dec – February

Hello Neha, Need your guidence I m going to srinagar on 21st march 24 till 29th march. Apart from 21st n 29th, 22nd to 28 there will be a sight seeing. Actually i came across ur blog aftrr i made my itinerary, but not fixed yet.

The point is do u think this itinerary is practically possible? Another question is I booked flight tickets only. And confused to go with package for this itinerary or to book the hotel n cab by ourself. I would like to receive your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sachin 1. I am not sure of stay options at Doodhpathri. We saw some constructions going on when we visited, but not sure if any decent hotel or resort has come up. So, if you dont get an accommodation, I would suggest to take a day trip to Doodhpathri from Srinagar. You can do Pahalgam and then directly go to Gulmarg from there and finally come back to Srinagar, spend an extra night there and do day trip to doodhpathri Rest of the itinerary looks good. You can also do a trip to Sonmarg from Srinagar

If you are comfortable you can book hotels on your own. I have added the cab details in my post from whom we booked. But if you dont want to, packages are also competitive. They were not very flexible in terms of cancellation with full refund, so , I booked on my own.

Have a wonderful trip!!

Hi Rajesh, we are not organising the trips, we are travel bloggers…travel…write about the experience…repeat 🙂 having said that, if you are asking what dates we traveled, it was April 9 – 16

Hi, Thanks for all the details. Well written. Can you please share details of rates for cabs, horse rides, house boats etc. I am planning to travel in June along with my aged parents. It would be helpful with these details.

Hi Shoba, the houseboat cost will vary with season and also what category of houseboat you select. For us, it was around 6k for one night. I will update the cab driver’s phone number in the post and also the name of the agency through which we booked the cab. Again, the cab price varies. When we landed there, there was a huge surge in demand for cabs and we had to pay 2k above the initially agreed price to be able to retain the cab. It cost us ~25k per cab.

Thanks and nicely put. How much was the overall cost for the trip, exclusing flights from hometown. Rough estimate should help us preplan

For our family of four, the hotel costs around INR 2500 per night on an average and then rest was food, entry fee. Roughly I would say around INR 40000 – INR 45000 all in all

Very very nicely written and encouraging to plan a trip immediately.

Need guidance from you. I’m planning to visit in June with old parents and and kids 14 and 10 years. Can you please suggest, which places I should not plan with parents if it requires considerable walking.

June I am choosing that it will be pleasant and bearable cold for family. For snow playing which will be place for 1 day (return by day end ) or 2 day with stay.

Thank you! Yes, June will be a pleasant weather. Neither very hot nor very cool. In places like Pahalgam and Doodhpathri you can choose to trek to further heights if you want, if parents are not comfortable, they can stay in the valley while you can go explore and come back. Bisaran valley might be difficult for them as it involves a bumpy pony ride. They will definitely enjoy a stay at Dal Lake in a boat house. You can just sit on the porch and enjoy your day there. Gulmarg, Srinagar, etc. shouldn’t be a challenge. Most of the gardens of Srinagar have few stairs but beyond that there is no other challenge in reaching there or walking around. Hope this helps

Very well put together. Did you guys book cabs before reaching Kashmir or are they easily available there?

Could you share some reliable cab agents numbers? Thanks 🙂

Thank you! We booked the cab a month in advance. As there is a lot of rush in the season and if you are booking on the spot, you might still get a cab but will have to pay much more over the usual cost. The agency we used was TravelXplore Kashmir Cab

I had been there in late September but missed the Pari mahal, as not awre of this jem. Also it was the monsoon so in pahalgam we had rains so could not complete the aru or betaab valley. Looking forward to kashmir once again to enjoy them and maybe this time I will have more time in hand:)

Nice and informative post. Visit Gurez Valley and Mughal Road next time when you will be in Kashmir.

Sure thing!

Beautifully written but it would have been more informative if the rates of cabs, horse ride etc were shared.

Good point. we will update the article with these details

I leave in Mumbai please send me dates of travel

7 Days in Kashmir

Imagine waking up to the gentle sway of a shikara boat on the pristine Dal Lake, surrounded by the majestic Himalayan peaks painted in hues of gold by the rising sun. Picture yourself sipping a warm cup of aromatic Kahwa tea as vibrant shikaras glide past, offering a glimpse of the floating gardens. Welcome to the enchanting world of Kashmir, often referred to as the ‘paradise on earth’.

While Kashmir remains a dream destination for most, concerns about political tensions can deter some from visiting. It’s essential to know that the Kashmir Valley is a safe and welcoming place for travellers. While visiting this land, respecting the local culture and preserving the natural beauty is key to being a responsible traveller.

Your trip to Kashmir promises unforgettable memories, making it an annual must-visit destination. To simplify your journey, consult with our SOTC experts, who can craft a comprehensive 7-day itinerary for your Kashmir adventure. Once booked, you can leave the details to SOTC, ensuring a worry-free experience.

To truly appreciate Kashmir’s charm, delve into the unique attractions that our Kashmir tour packages have to offer. This article goes beyond the famous Gulmarg skiing and Dal Lake boat rides, providing insight into the hidden gems of the region. So, keep reading to discover the captivating essence of Kashmir.

Srinagar: Dal Lake, floating markets and shikara rides

House boat at Srinagar

Most Kashmir packages start from your arrival in Srinagar , which is known as the Kashmiri venice, because of the exquisite Dal Lake that offers houseboat stays and shikara (boat) rides.

The shikaras are wooden boats decorated with vibrant colours and traditional prints, the ride offers panoramic views of the valley. As the boat glides on the serene waters, visitors admire the floating gardens, shikara communities, lovely houseboats, and the local life of the town.

Take a moment to soak in the snow-covered vistas of the mighty Himalayas and Pir panjal mountain range surrounding the Dal Lake. Also, make sure to book your stay at the houseboats on Dal Lake, but make sure to go through online reviews before choosing the boat. Alternatively, you can opt for a package tour that offers you a hassle-free experience without the added burden of individually arranging accommodations. This way, you can fully immerse yourself in the serene beauty of this breathtaking destination without any worries or logistical concerns.

We recommend early morning awakenings to witness the mesmerising sunrise over the Himalayan range, complemented by a cup of aromatic Kashmiri Kahwa chai infused with saffron, almonds, and cardamom. The mornings on Dal Lake offer the enchanting sight of local vendors navigating their boats, laden with fresh produce, including vibrant flowers reminiscent of many memorable Bollywood songs. It is bewitching to watch Kashmiri vendors going by their day selling fresh produce in the misty mornings of Kashmir. Take your camera out and create unforgettable memories of your trip.

Kashmir’s history is etched in the elaborate architecture of Srinagar’s Mughal Gardens, a living testament to the grandeur of a bygone era. The Mughal Gardens, such as Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi, reflect the city’s historical and cultural heritage. The collective architecture of the Mughal Gardens goes back to the time of the Mughals. Flower beds, symmetrical terraces, descending fountains, natural springs, and polished lawns are the top features of these delightful gardens. Additionally, the historic Jama Masjid and Shankaracharya Temple showcase the religious diversity of the region.

Srinagar’s culinary scene is a true highlight, offering delectable dishes like Rogan Josh and Dum Aloo, along with the indulgent multi-course feast known as Wazwan. Every corner of Srinagar invites travellers to savour the aroma of spices and the warmth of local hospitality, making it a culinary journey worth remembering.

Visitors can also explore vibrant markets, home to Pashmina shawls, handicrafts, and premium saffron, providing a rich cultural and shopping experience in this picturesque city.

Gulmarg: a year-round wonderland

Gulmarg

Located about 51 km from Srinagar, Gulmarg is often referred to as the ‘meadow of flowers.’ A one or two-night stay here is enough to make the most of your Jammu and Kashmir itinerary .

During summer, from May to September, you can take in the stunning landscapes by indulging in leisurely walks and horse rides. During the snowy months, Gulmarg, a jewel in the crown of Kashmir, transforms into a winter wonderland, offering thrilling adventures in the snow-covered Pir Panjal mountains. From December to February, you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and other cold-weather activities in the Pir Panjal mountain range.

You can indulge in leisure walks, go for horse rides, ride the Gulmarg Gondola, which is the highest and longest cable car in the world, or simply soak in the sunlight during summer. The ride will take you to the snow-covered peaks of Kongdoori and Apharwat.

The Gulmarg Gondola, the world’s highest and longest cable car, offers breathtaking views and takes you to the snow-covered peaks of Kongdoori and Apharwat. From there, you can consider a short trek to Khilanmarg, a picturesque meadow perfect for picnics, camping, and capturing unforgettable memories with your camera.

Gulmarg boasts one of the world’s highest golf courses, where golf enthusiasts can enjoy the sport amid Kashmir’s mesmerising landscapes.

In the evening, take leisurely strolls through local markets, interact with Kashmiris, and explore popular items like pashmina shawls, papier-mâché items, handcrafted goods, and jewellery. Kashmiri people are known for their warm hospitality. Engage in meaningful conversations while being mindful and respectful of their culture and traditions.

The choice is yours, whether to witness a white wonderland or a floral paradise in Gulmarg.

Sonmarg: Nature, adventure, and cuisine

Sonmarg

Our Kashmir trip itinerary will not be complete without a drive to the gorgeous meadow of Sonmarg. Standing at a height of 9186 feet, Sonmarg, the ‘meadow of gold,’ is a hidden gem untouched by commercialisation. Sonmarg, cradled by nature, invites visitors to disconnect from the world and immerse themselves in the tranquillity of glacial lakes and starry skies.

Tourists usually take a two-hour drive from Srinagar to camp near its glacial lakes, such as Vishansar, Krishansar, and Gangabal. A two-hour trek to the Thajiwas Glacier gives you a profound connection with nature. Camping by the glacier lets you spend the night amid Himalayan silence, surrounded by streams, waterfalls, springs, and starry skies.

The following morning, descend from Sonmarg for the next adventure: river rafting on the winding Sindh River. If you prefer land activities, consider a leisurely car ride or rent a bicycle to explore Sonmarg’s serene surroundings.

This region is renowned for its culinary delights, including Rogan Josh, a spicy lamb curry, Yakhni, a yoghurt-based meat and vegetable curry, and Kashmiri Pulao, a fragrant rice dish with nuts, dried fruits, and saffron. Ensure you savour traditional Kashmiri breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your stay in Sonmarg.

So, make sure to have a belly full of traditional Kashmiri breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your stay in Sonmarg.

Exploring Pahalgam: Nature, adventure, and serene spaces

Beautiful Kashmir Valleys

Pahalgam, often referred to as the ‘Valley of Shepherds,’ is a charming hill town located along the banks of the River Lidder, known for its lush meadows and picturesque mountain views. In the heart of Pahalgam, adventure enthusiasts can find their heavan with activities like trekking, camping, and horse riding.

On your way from Sonmarg to Pahalgam, which is approximately a three-hour drive, consider stopping at the historic Awantipura Ruins and the serene Anantnag Sulphur Springs.

One of the must-visit attractions in Pahalgam is the famous ‘Betaab Valley,’ named after the Bollywood film ‘Betaab’, which was shot here. This valley, also known as Hagan or Hajan Valley, boasts dense forests, vibrant flowers, and panoramic views of snow-capped mountains. Adventure enthusiasts can partake in activities like skiing, snowboarding, trekking, camping, and horse riding. The valley even features the Bobby Hut, made famous by another Bollywood hit, ‘Bobby.’ If you’re into fishing, the nearby Lidder River offers opportunities to catch trout and Mahseer.

For a less crowded and more off-the-beaten-path experience, explore the nearby Aru Valley. This pristine meadow serves as the starting point for several treks, including the Tarsar Marsar Trek and Kolahoi Glacier Trek, as well as the base camp for the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage. The valley’s tranquil grasslands are dotted with pine trees, untouched forests, and quaint hamlets. You’ll also encounter herds of sheep, goats, and horses grazing peacefully in the area.

Activities in the Aru Valley range from trekking to Sheshnag Lake and visiting the Mamleshwar Temple to rafting in the Lidder River, heli-skiing, photography, camping, horse riding, sightseeing, fishing, and bird-watching. Consider staying in guest houses or homestays in Aru to immerse yourself fully in the natural beauty of Kashmir. Additionally, we encourage our guests to engage in spiritual practices like meditation and yoga to experience the ultimate serenity during their Pahalgam visit.

Zoji La Pass: Rugged roads, deep valleys and a rich history

Zoji La Pass, one of the highest and longest passes in Asia, presents an adventure that combines history, rugged terrain, and panoramic views. With its winding hairpin bends and breathtaking views, the renowned Zoji La Pass serves as a vital link between Srinagar and Ladakh. The best part is that you can conveniently incorporate Zoji La into your Kashmir itinerary for a 7-day trip, as it only takes 3 to 4 hours to reach there from Pahalgam.

Now, why should you visit this pass? Firstly, it holds historical significance as a strategic location during the Indo-Pak War of 1947-48. Secondly, situated at an altitude of approximately 3,528 meters, Zoji La is one of the highest passes on NH1, and it spans an impressive 193 kilometres, making it the longest pass in Asia.

The rugged terrain beckons adventure enthusiasts for thrilling road trips, while others can revel in the magnificent sights of mountain peaks, billowing clouds, meandering streams, and lush meadows.

Some noteworthy attractions to visit around Zoji La include the iconic Zoji La Tunnel, Zero Point, Baltal Helipad, Baltal Valley, the Amarnath Cave, and the scenic Indus region.

The best time to visit this pass is during spring and summer when the pass is accessible. During the winter months, Zoji La is typically covered in heavy snow, leading to road closures. Therefore, if your Jammu and Kashmir trip is planned between November and February, it’s advisable to exclude Zoji La Pass from your Kashmir travel itinerary .
