About this Winter Trip
Kashmir under snow — gondolas, skiing and white meadows

Important Notes
Please read before booking
Local taxis & ponies: At Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg, local union taxis and ponies are mandatory for the inner points (meadows, valleys). These are paid directly on the spot and are not part of the package.
Flights: The price is a land package. Fly into Srinagar (SXR) — we can add return flights from your city on request.
Weather: Mountain weather changes quickly and higher spots like Gulmarg and Sonamarg stay cool even in summer — carry warm layers year-round. Snow can affect road access in peak winter.
ID: Carry a valid government photo ID for hotels and houseboats. No special permit is needed for the main Kashmir tourist circuit.

In peak winter it's very likely in Gulmarg, but snowfall varies year to year. We plan flexible timing and a Gulmarg overnight to maximise your chances of fresh snow.
Occasionally — heavy snowfall can delay Srinagar flights or the road up to Gulmarg. We keep buffer time in the plan and adjust as needed for safety.
