Why Choose a Kashmir Tour from Siliguri?
Siliguri, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, and the North Bengal travellers have a lot of inquiries related to the most effective way to access Kashmir. The solution is simple: fly to Srinagar by Bagdogra International Airport. Flights are frequent and affordable and the trip lasts less than 2.5 hours. The moment you get there, a Travel Soft vehicle awaits you, ready to go – and your Kashmir vacation starts the moment you leave the airport.
By organizing a Kashmir tour from Siliguri you also avoid the hassle of having to piece together hotels, cabs and houseboat reservation, and it is particularly critical when tourists are at their highest numbers and hotel space is in high demand.
Your 7 Day Itinerary of Kashmir Day-to-Day
Here’s a 7-day Kashmir tour from Siliguri itinerary to cover all its beautiful locations easily. Each day is carefully mapped out to explore famous spots like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg, without the usual rush.
DAY 1 - Srinagar: Arrival & Local Sightseeing
Land at Srinagar Airport, move to the hotel, and check in. Srinagar is the Summer Capital of J&K and the gateway to all key destinations in Kashmir. Go sightseeing in the city: go to the well-known Mughal Gardens: Nishat Bagh, Chashma Shahi, and Shalimar Bagh, Hazratbal Shrine by the shores of Dal Lake, and Shankaracharya Temple at the hillock. The gardens are not far, 25-40 km, and the full sightseeing circuit takes approximately 4 hours. Dine in a hotel and stay over.
DAY 2 - Srinagar to Sonamarg
After breakfast, drive 86 km to Sonamarg – the Meadow of Gold – in Ganderbal District. It is among the most picturesque and calm places in Kashmir, having snow even during summer. Visit the Thajwas Glacier by riding a pony. Alternatively hire a local union taxi (direct/negotiable) to go towards Zero Point (Snow Point) near Zojila Pass, near Kargil. Sightseeing in Sonamarg with dinner and stay.
DAY 3 - Sonamarg to Gulmarg
The drive to Gulmarg covers approximately 140 km (about 4 hours) via Srinagar city. No direct road links from Sonamarg to Gulmarg; you have to travel via Srinagar. Once settled down, rent a pony for a visit to the old Shiv Temple. Also visit the historic St. Mary’s Church, built by the British in 1895. Ride the famous Gondola Cable Car ride. There are two ways you can choose. Either you purchase your tickets at the entrance or online before coming. Overnight and dinner in Gulmarg.
DAY 4 - Gulmarg to Pahalgam
Following breakfast drive through Srinagar to Pahalgam – “Valley of Shepherds” in south Kashmir. On the way, visit the Saffron fields of Pampore and the Avantipura Temple Ruins of the 10th century. Reach Pahalgam and check into your hotel. Visit Aru Valley or Betaab Valley the same afternoon, should there be time. Stay at Pahalgam for the evening and night.
DAY 5 - Pahalgam Full Day
Breakfast and then rent ponies and make a 4-5 hour round trip ride to Baisaran Valley – the so-called Mini Switzerland. It is a spectacular high-altitude meadow which may be reached only by pony (direct payment basis). Stroll along the scenic banks of the Lidder River and explore local viewpoints. Overnight and dinner in Pahalgam.
DAY 6 - Pahalgam to Srinagar (Houseboat and Shikara Ride)
After breakfast, drive approximately 2.5 hours back to Srinagar and check into your houseboat on the world-famous Dal Lake. Travel Soft includes a 1-hour free Shikara ride on Dal/ Nigeen Lake.
