Kashmir Itinerary for 4 Days: Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam Without Rushing
Four days in Kashmir works best from one Srinagar base: a houseboat night, Gulmarg and Pahalgam as day trips, and an easy last morning. Here's our day-by-day plan, how it changes in winter, and what it costs in 2026.
Sonmarg by the Old Road: Along the Sindh, Back by Tunnel
Right now in October the Sindh is running clear beside the old Srinagar to Sonmarg road. Why we drive up the old road through Gagangir, come back through the Z-Morh tunnel, and what the day costs.
Ladies Trip to Kashmir: How We Plan Women's Group Trips, Starting With the Welcome
In one week our reels showed three welcomes: a car arriving at the hotel, shawls and a welcome drink in the lobby, and a ladies group pulling in by van. Here's how we plan a ladies trip to Kashmir: one car for the group, rooms, pace, October clothes, food, safety and 2026 prices.
Sonmarg vs Gulmarg: Which Is Better, Month by Month?
Choose Gulmarg if the Gondola, a big meadow and reliable winter snow are the reason for your trip. Choose Sonmarg if you want the Sindh river and a quieter drive toward Thajiwas glacier. Both work as same-day trips from Srinagar, and our return cab to either costs ₹2,500 in an Etios or ₹3,500 in an Innova Crysta, tolls and parking included.
How Many Days Are Enough for Kashmir? Our Honest Answer from Srinagar
Five to six days is enough for most first trips to Kashmir: it covers Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg without rushing. Four days suits a Srinagar-based trip with one or two day trips. Seven days lets you slow down, add an extra Pahalgam night or a place like Gurez. Add about two days each way if you come by train.
