Frequently asked questions

01

Kashmir is beautiful year round. April to June brings tulips, blooming gardens and pleasant weather. July to September is lush and green and good for meadows like Gulmarg and Pahalgam. October offers golden chinar autumn colours, and December to February is the season for snow and skiing in Gulmarg.

02

A 5 to 6 day trip covers the classic circuit of Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg comfortably. With 7 days or more you can add offbeat valleys like Doodhpathri or Yusmarg, or a day trip towards the Mughal Road, without rushing.

03

Yes. The main tourist areas of Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg see heavy footfall through the season and are well set up for visitors. Our local team tracks conditions daily, plans routes accordingly, and stays reachable throughout your trip.

04

Many of our guests are solo and women travellers. We arrange vetted drivers, verified houseboats and hotels, and keep a local point of contact available 24x7 so you always have someone to call.

05

A typical 5 to 6 day Kashmir package starts around 12,000 to 18,000 rupees per person on twin sharing, depending on season, hotel category and whether you want a houseboat stay. We build the plan around your budget and send a clear, itemised quote before you commit.

06

Most travellers fly into Srinagar International Airport, which has direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and other major cities. You can also reach by road from Jammu, which is the nearest major railhead, via the scenic Jammu to Srinagar highway.

07

Yes, and we recommend at least one night on a houseboat for the full Kashmir experience. We book verified, well-maintained houseboats with private bathrooms and heating, and pair them with a sunrise shikara ride.

08

Kashmir is far gentler than Ladakh. Srinagar sits at around 1,585 m and the popular spots like Gulmarg top out near 2,650 m, so altitude sickness is rare. Carry warm layers, as evenings stay cool even in summer.

09

Gulmarg usually gets its first proper snow by late December, with the best snow and skiing conditions through January and February. The upper Gondola stage to Apharwat Peak holds snow well into April.

10

Kashmir is famous for hand-knotted carpets, pashmina and cashmere shawls, walnut wood carving, papier-mache, saffron and dried fruits. We can point you to trusted, government-certified outlets so you buy genuine pieces at fair prices.

11

Packages typically include accommodation, transport by private cab, sightseeing and breakfast, with other meals optional. Flights are usually quoted separately so you can use your own miles or preferred airline. Everything is itemised so you know exactly what is included.

Booked a 6 day Kashmir trip for 7 family members. From the houseboat on Dal Lake to the gondola at Gulmarg, every detail was handled. The driver Showkat was punctual, safe and friendly. Highly recommend Tripsiana for a stress free family holiday.

We wanted a romantic honeymoon and got exactly that. Sunrise shikara ride, a candlelight dinner on the houseboat, and a cottage in Pahalgam right by the river. The planning was thoughtful and the pricing was transparent with no hidden charges.

Five friends, one epic trip. Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg and even an offbeat day at Doodhpathri. The itinerary was well paced and the local team adjusted plans when the weather turned. Got a better quote here than three other agencies.
