Itinerary Breakdown

Arrive at Jammu by train or air. Our representative meets and assists you at the railway station or airport, and drives you straight to Katra. Check in at the hotel and rest for the darshan ahead.

After refreshment, depart for Mata Vaishno Devi darshan. You are dropped at Banganga, from where the 13 km trek to the shrine begins. Return and overnight stay at the Katra hotel.

Your personal chauffeur drives you to Pahalgam, with a stop en route at the saffron fields — the ‘valley of flowers’ whose blooms are a symbol of freshness and purity. On arrival, check in and spend quality time on the banks of the Lidder River before dinner.

A full valley day: visit the Awantipora ruins — ancient Hindu temples built by King Avantivarman (AD 855–883) — and the saffron fields en route, then the mesmerising Betaab Valley, Aru Valley and Chandanwari sightseeing (included in the package). Dinner and overnight in Pahalgam.

Drive to Srinagar and check in. Visit the Mughal Gardens — Nishat and Shalimar — plus Pari Mahal and Chashme Shahi, once a court of music for the Mughal emperors. In the evening, join your guide in a shikara to explore the floating gardens and Dal Lake culture. Dinner and overnight in Srinagar.

An hour’s drive on mountainous tracks to Gulmarg’s famous slopes, with a refreshment halt at Tangmarg. Tour the Golf Club, Maharaja Palace, Strawberry Valley and Nageen Valley, and ride the Gondola — one of the highest cable cars in the world — halting at Kongdoori and Apharwat with views of the Khilanmarg and Apharwat glaciers. Overnight in Srinagar.

Day trip to Sonamarg, the ‘Meadow of Gold’, passing paddy fields and riverside villages, with stops at the Hazratbal Shrine and Gagangir Tourist Village. Visit the Thajwas Glacier around 4 km from Sonamarg (local taxi to be hired). Return to Srinagar in the evening.

Check in to your Dal Lake houseboat and set out on a full-day city tour: Shankaracharya Temple, Nishat Garden (Garden of Pleasure), Shalimar Garden, Chashme Shahi Bagh and Pari Mahal. Dinner and overnight on the houseboat.

After breakfast, check out and drive to Jammu Railway Station to board your train for the onward destination — sweet memories of the grand Kashmir & Vaishno Devi circuit.
