Overview
If you're dreaming of houseboats on still water, snow-dusted peaks, and gardens laid out by Mughal emperors, our Srinagar and Gulmarg Tour Package is built exactly for that dream. This short Kashmir holiday brings together two of the valley's most loved faces — Srinagar's serene lakes and Gulmarg's alpine meadows — in one easy, well-paced trip.
Whether you're traveling as a family, a couple on your honeymoon, or a group of friends chasing snow, this itinerary is designed to feel relaxed rather than rushed.

How to Reach Srinagar and Gulmarg
By Flight
Srinagar International Airport (SXR) is well connected with direct flights from major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai. This is the fastest and most common way to begin your Srinagar to Gulmarg Tour Package.
By Train
The nearest major railhead is Jammu Railway Station, connected to most Indian cities. From Jammu, travelers typically continue by road (around 6–8 hours) or connect onward via domestic flight to Srinagar. Srinagar itself has limited rail connectivity within the Kashmir valley, so road transfer remains the practical option for most routes.
By Road
Self-drive travelers and road-trip enthusiasts can reach Srinagar via the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH44), a scenic but weather-dependent route. Private taxis and Volvo buses also operate on this route from Jammu.
Srinagar to Gulmarg Distance & Travel Time
- Distance: Approximately 50–56 km
- Travel Time: Around 1.5–2 hours by road
- Route: Srinagar → Tangmarg → Gulmarg through apple orchards and scenic mountain roads
Best Season to Travel
Kashmir is a genuine year-round destination. April to June brings blooming gardens and pleasant weather, July to September offers cooler respite from the plains' heat, and December to February transforms Gulmarg into a snow-covered playground — ideal if skiing or snow activities are on your list.
