Good questions
When exactly does the tulip garden open?
It usually opens in the second half of March and runs for about a month, depending on the weather. We confirm the dates each year before you book.
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.
