Where you'll stay
Same itinerary, three ways to stay. Hotel names are confirmed in your written plan, subject to availability.
Standard
Clean, family-run 3-star hotels and an A-category houseboat. Warm rooms, hot water, good home-style food.
Deluxe
Well-reviewed 3–4 star hotels with valley views and a deluxe carved houseboat on Dal or Nigeen.
Premium
The best addresses in each town — 4–5 star resorts and a premium heritage houseboat with a private deck.
Good questions
Why do I need a separate taxi in Pahalgam?
Aru, Betaab and Chandanwari are served only by the local union taxis — outside cabs can't go beyond Pahalgam town. It's the rule there, and we tell you the typical cost before you go.
Can I change the hotels or add a day?
Yes. Every package is a starting point. Tell us what you'd like to change on WhatsApp and we'll send a revised plan the same day.
Where does the trip start and end?
At Srinagar airport (or Srinagar railway station). Your driver meets you at arrivals with your name, and drops you back on the last day.
Close, but not quite you?
Swap a hotel, add a night, drop a stop. We'll redraw it.
