Plan a winter-focused Kashmir holiday with two nights in Srinagar and two in Gulmarg. Explore the proposed route, discuss your stay and transport needs, and choose optional experiences around the conditions during your visit.
Snowfall, road access and activity operation depend on conditions for your travel dates. Prices on this page are indicative estimates, not quotes.
Is This the Winter Trip You’re Looking For?
You have four nights available
The plan covers four overnight stays across five days. Day 1 and Day 5 start and end in Srinagar, so your flight or train times decide how much of them you can use. Travel to and from Kashmir is not part of the package.
Srinagar and Gulmarg are your priorities
You spend two nights in Srinagar, then two in Gulmarg. There is one change of stay in the middle of the trip and no other destination on the route.
You like winter scenery and supported optional activities
The plan schedules sightseeing in Srinagar and a Gulmarg day built around the Gondola, a meadow walk and St Mary’s Church. Other snow activities are optional, depend on arrangements and conditions, and are quoted separately.
Your group can stay flexible
Snow, road access and activity operation change with the weather. This itinerary suits groups who are prepared to adjust a day if conditions require it.
This itinerary allocates two nights to Gulmarg. It is not automatically a ski-training package, and the available activities depend on the arrangements and operating conditions.
It is not described here as suitable for every age or access requirement. The record rates the Gondola day as moderate and the other days as easy. Tell us the ages and any mobility or access needs in your group and we will check them against the route before quoting.
Gulmarg Ski Week (5N/6D): four of five nights in Gulmarg, for travellers who want more time there.
A one-page picture of this plan: route, nights, days and what is included. The full day-by-day itinerary is below. The price is indicative (lowest price of the year · Deluxe); your written quotation gives the exact figure for your dates.

Day 5: drive from Gulmarg to Srinagar for your onward journey (no overnight)
Hotel names are not published on this page. Your quotation shows the proposed accommodation, room category and availability before you confirm.
More Overnight Time in Gulmarg
Half of this plan’s nights are in Gulmarg. That gives you more overnight time there than a plan with a single Gulmarg night, but it is not the same as two full snow-activity days.
How the Gulmarg days are scheduled
Day 3: the drive from Srinagar, check-in and time to settle. No other activity is scheduled.
Day 4: the Gondola visit as scheduled, a meadow walk and St Mary’s Church, then the second Gulmarg night.
Day 5: the drive back to Srinagar for your flight or train.
What the extra night does not add
Usable activity time depends on when you arrive and when you must leave.
A second night does not add operating days for the Gondola or any activity, and it does not mean better weather.
Staying overnight does not guarantee Gondola tickets, a particular phase or shorter queues.
No snow-activity day, lesson or equipment is scheduled in this plan.
You can discuss sightseeing and optional experiences with us before you book. If you want more time on the snow than this plan gives you, tell us and we will review a different route or an extra night; any change is quoted before you confirm.

The Mughal gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Chashme Shahi) and the old city with Jamia Masjid, using your private cab.

Conditions: Operation depends on weather and the operator. Check the official site for current booking and operating information.
Not in this plan
Beginner skiing and other snow activities
No lessons, instructor, equipment or duration is listed in the record for this package, so none is included or assumed. Photographs of snow or skiing do not mean an activity is offered.
To book or confirm: If you want to ask about one, tell us. We say whether we can quote it, what it covers (lessons, instructor, equipment, duration, eligibility) and the cost, in writing, before you decide.
Conditions: Subject to operators, equipment availability and conditions.
Optional, quoted separately
Optional services
From the record’s add-on list: a local guide for the old city and gardens, an extra cab day or vehicle upgrade, a videographer (iPhone gimbal or DSLR half-day), SIM help on arrival and an airport or station pickup add-on where it is not already included.
To book or confirm: Prices are in your quotation. Choosing one records your interest and is not a booking.
Conditions: Availability is confirmed for your dates.
A photograph on this page shows a place on the route. It does not mean a ride, ticket, lesson or equipment is included. Selecting an activity in the enquiry records your interest; it does not confirm a booking.
Confirm Your Room’s Winter Facilities
Your quote should identify the proposed room and the winter facilities confirmed by the accommodation provider. Tell us about any practical requirements before you book.
Winter facilities to confirm for each stay
Ask us to confirm
Why it matters
How the room is heated
Heating differs between properties. We do not describe any room as heated until the provider confirms the type.
Whether heating is included or charged separately
A separate charge would change your total, so it should be stated in the quote.
Operating hours, if heating or hot water is restricted
Some arrangements run only at set times.
Hot-water arrangements
Confirm how hot water is supplied and whether it is available at all hours.
Bedding
Ask what bedding is provided, especially for children or extra beds.
Power backup, if the property claims it
We do not assume continuous power. Ask what is covered and for how long.
Stairs or lift access
Relevant for older travellers, children and heavy luggage.
Vehicle approach and luggage handling
In winter the vehicle may not reach the door. Ask how bags are carried from where the vehicle stops.
We do not guarantee continuous power, heating or hot water without written confirmation from the accommodation provider. Hotel names are not published on this page; your quotation names the proposed property.

Winter Transport for Your Route
What the plan lists
Pickup and drop: Srinagar airport (SXR), Srinagar railway station (SINA, Nowgam) or hotel pickup, as listed in the record, with an airport or railway-station drop.
Main vehicle: a private cab for the transfers and sightseeing in the plan, with driver, fuel, tolls and parking listed as included.
Driver allowance, waiting and additional charges: your quote states how these are treated. We do not assume them.
Hill roads: our standing note says cabs run with the AC off on steep hill roads and that snow chains are carried in winter. Confirm this for your vehicle and dates, together with any local vehicle change or extra charge that winter conditions may require.
Planning your vehicle
We choose the vehicle category from your seats and your luggage, and the quote states it. Winter clothing makes bags bulkier, so tell us how many bags you will carry.
No vehicle is described here as guaranteeing access, and a larger vehicle is not always more suitable.
Whether the vehicle can reach a hotel door depends on conditions on the day and is confirmed with the property.
Road status and any traffic advisories are decided by the authorities and can change. Road access depends on the season, so we confirm it before you pay. A temporary restriction is not a permanent rule.
Several thinner layers are easier to adjust than one heavy garment, because Srinagar, the drive and Gulmarg can feel very different within a day.
Outerwear
Choose a warm, weather-appropriate outer layer that suits the conditions you expect. Waterproof outerwear helps where there is wet snow.
Footwear
Choose shoes or boots with a grip suited to the surfaces you expect, including cleared paths and compacted or wet snow. Footwear reduces, but does not remove, the risk of slipping.
Gloves and head covering
Carry gloves and a hat or head covering, plus a spare pair if yours get wet.
Keep essentials to hand
Keep documents, medicines you take, chargers, a power bank and warm items in a bag you carry, not in the luggage compartment. Cold can shorten battery life.
Luggage space
Bulky winter clothing takes more room. Tell us the number and size of bags when you ask for a quote, because it can decide whether a larger vehicle is needed.
We do not promise that clothing or equipment rental is available at every stop. If you want to ask about rentals, we confirm the scope, charges and sizes before you rely on them. Speak to your own doctor about any health concern; this page gives packing guidance, not medical advice. See also our packing list by season.

How Changes to the Winter Plan Are Handled
Winter plans can need adjusting. This is how changes work; the terms that apply to your trip are the ones in your written quotation.
Weather-related activity changes
If weather or the operator stops an activity, tell us your dates and how flexible you are. We discuss what is possible. We do not promise a replacement activity, a refund, an extra night or automatic rescheduling. What applies is stated in your quotation and in the provider’s own rules, for example for tickets.
Access restrictions
Road access depends on the season, and we confirm it before you pay. If access changes, we discuss how the plan could change. Any change to the arrangements or the price is explained to you before you agree.
Arrival delays
Tell us as soon as you know about a delay. If your quotation includes terms for late arrival, those apply. Otherwise ask us what applies before you travel.
Changes you ask for
Contact us on +91 60058 51998 (call or WhatsApp, 9 am–9 pm IST) with your reference and what you want changed. A request is not approved until we reply, and a change is not confirmed until we confirm it in writing. Any price difference is told to you in writing before you agree.
Our team confirms any proposed change. See the terms of booking and the cancellation policy. Cancellation and amendment terms for your trip are in your written quotation, and you should ask for them before you pay if they are missing.

Travellers who want four Gulmarg nights and can travel in January to March.
Snow Honeymoon in Gulmarg and this plan have the same night allocation and the same day-by-day plan in our records, so we do not present them as different trips. The name “Ski Week” does not establish lesson hours, equipment or instructor inclusion. Prices are not compared here because the plans differ in scope; compare quotations prepared on the same configuration, and see how to compare Kashmir quotes.
Questions About Snow, Weather and Changes
No. We cannot promise snowfall, snow cover, open roads or that any activity will run on your dates. December to February is the suggested travel period in our records, and it is a planning range, not a forecast. Photographs on this page show Gulmarg on the days they were taken and are not current conditions.
Two nights in Srinagar (Days 1 and 2), then two nights in Gulmarg (Days 3 and 4). Day 5 is the departure day and has no overnight stay. The Srinagar nights come first and are consecutive.
No. The package record lists no skiing lesson, instructor, equipment or snow-activity day, so none is included or assumed. If you want to ask about one, tell us; we say whether we can quote it and what it covers before you decide.
No. The Gulmarg Gondola is run by J&K Cable Car Corporation (JKCCC). Tickets are not included and are booked online in each traveller’s own ID on the official JKCCC site. We cannot promise tickets, a particular phase or uninterrupted operation.
Our records do not state how the rooms are heated, whether heating costs extra, or what hot-water and power arrangements apply, so we do not claim any. Your quote should identify the proposed room and the winter facilities confirmed by the accommodation provider. Tell us your requirements before you book.
The private cab covers the transfers and sightseeing listed in the plan, with driver, fuel, tolls and parking. Our standing note says snow chains are carried in winter and cabs run with the AC off on steep hill roads. Our records do not say whether any local vehicle change or extra charge applies, so your quote states it. We cannot promise that any vehicle will reach every place.
Tell us your dates and how flexible you are, and we discuss what is possible. We do not promise a replacement activity, a refund, an extra night or automatic rescheduling. What applies is stated in your written quotation and in the provider’s own rules for tickets. Any change is confirmed by us in writing, with any price difference, before you agree.
They may be. Our records do not give holiday supplements, minimum stays, special dinners or cancellation conditions for those dates, so we do not state any. Any supplier terms for your dates are confirmed in your quotation.
Plan Your Srinagar and Gulmarg Winter Trip
Share your dates, group size and winter activity interests. We’ll use your requirements to prepare a proposed itinerary and quote.
Contact hours 9 am–9 pm IST. This package (KTP-005) is preselected and you can change your preferences. Choosing an activity records your interest and does not confirm a booking. Your enquiry is saved first and you receive a KTP-ENQ reference. It is an enquiry, not a booking: availability is confirmed only in your written quotation.
