Srinagar is often the first destination that comes to mind when travellers plan a holiday in Kashmir. Set around Dal Lake and the Jhelum River, the city brings together serene waterways, Mughal gardens, historic shrines, traditional Kashmiri architecture, houseboats, mountain views, and easy access to some of the valley's most famous destinations. Our Srinagar Tour Packages are designed for travellers who want to experience the city comfortably while also exploring the surrounding Kashmir Valley. Depending on the duration of your trip, you can combine Srinagar with Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri, Yusmarg, or other destinations.
A Srinagar holiday can be tailored around the kind of experience you are looking for. Couples can enjoy a peaceful shikara ride on Dal Lake, stay in a traditional houseboat, and explore Srinagar's gardens. Families can combine sightseeing with day trips to the mountains. Travellers interested in culture can explore historic mosques, temples, shrines, old markets, and Kashmiri handicrafts.
At Vayable Trip, we create customised Srinagar holiday packages according to your travel dates, group size, preferred hotels, vehicle requirements, budget, and destinations you want to include.
Whether you are planning a Srinagar honeymoon package, a family vacation, a short Kashmir getaway, or a longer Srinagar Gulmarg Pahalgam Sonamarg tour, we can design the itinerary around your requirements.
Why Choose a Srinagar Tour Package?
Srinagar works exceptionally well as a base for exploring Kashmir because it combines sightseeing within the city with convenient road access to several major destinations.
A professionally planned Srinagar tour package can save you from arranging separate hotels, transfers, sightseeing and day trips.
Experience Dal Lake
A visit to Srinagar is incomplete without spending time on Dal Lake. A shikara ride offers a different perspective of the city, with floating gardens, houseboats, markets and mountain scenery surrounding the lake.
Explore Mughal Gardens
Srinagar's historic Mughal gardens provide some of the city's most attractive landscaped spaces, combining terraced gardens, water channels and mountain views.
Stay on a Kashmiri Houseboat
A houseboat stay offers an experience that is very different from a conventional hotel. It can be included as an alternative or additional accommodation option depending on your preferences.
Discover Old Srinagar
The older parts of the city reveal a different side of Kashmir through historic buildings, traditional markets, shrines, mosques, bridges and local neighbourhoods.
Use Srinagar as Your Kashmir Base
From Srinagar, you can plan excursions to Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg and other destinations, making it an ideal starting point for a broader Kashmir itinerary.
Top Places to Visit in Srinagar
A good Srinagar holiday package should leave enough time for the city's major attractions instead of treating Srinagar only as a transit point.
Dal Lake
Dal Lake is the heart of Srinagar's tourism experience. The lake is known for its shikaras, houseboats, floating markets, gardens and surrounding mountain views. Early morning is particularly atmospheric, when the water is relatively calm and the lake begins to come alive with local activity. A shikara ride can be included in your itinerary, although the exact duration and inclusions should be confirmed in your package.
Things to experience around Dal Lake-
- Shikara ride
- Houseboat stay
- Floating market
- Views of the surrounding mountains
- Sunrise or early-morning lake experience
- Photography
- Local shopping
Srinagar Houseboat Stay
One of the most distinctive experiences you can add to a Srinagar tour package is a stay on a traditional Kashmiri houseboat. Houseboats are generally located on Dal Lake and other waterways around Srinagar and come in different categories. A houseboat stay is particularly popular with couples and first-time visitors to Kashmir. However, travellers should understand that houseboat accommodation can differ considerably in terms of facilities, location, age, room size and service standards. We recommend selecting the property according to your comfort expectations rather than choosing purely on price.
Mughal Gardens of Srinagar
Srinagar's Mughal gardens are an important part of the city's heritage.
Nishat Bagh- Located on the eastern side of Dal Lake, Nishat Bagh is known for its terraced layout, fountains, landscaped gardens and views towards the lake and mountains. It is an excellent place for relaxed sightseeing and photography.
Shalimar Bagh- Shalimar Bagh is another major Mughal-era garden associated with Srinagar's royal heritage. Its landscaped terraces, water channels and mature trees provide a peaceful contrast to the city's busy areas.
Chashme Shahi- Smaller than Nishat and Shalimar, Chashme Shahi is known for its natural spring and carefully arranged terraces. These gardens can be included together in a dedicated Srinagar sightseeing day.
Pari Mahal- Located on the slopes above Srinagar, Pari Mahal offers panoramic views of the city and Dal Lake. The historic structure is particularly attractive around sunset, when the elevated position provides expansive views across Srinagar. If you are interested in photography and viewpoints, adding Pari Mahal to your Srinagar sightseeing itinerary is worthwhile.
Shankaracharya Temple
The Shankaracharya Temple, situated on Shankaracharya Hill, is one of Srinagar's best-known landmarks. The hill provides extensive views over Srinagar and Dal Lake. Because the site involves stairs, travellers with mobility concerns should consider this while planning the day's sightseeing.
Hazratbal Shrine
Situated near Dal Lake, the Hazratbal Shrine is an important Muslim pilgrimage site and one of Srinagar's most recognisable religious landmarks. Its white architecture against the backdrop of the lake and surrounding mountains makes the area particularly scenic. Visitors should dress respectfully and follow local guidelines when visiting religious sites.
Jama Masjid, Srinagar
Located in the historic centre of Srinagar, Jama Masjid is an important example of Kashmiri Islamic architecture. Its wooden columns and traditional design provide a glimpse into the city's architectural heritage. A visit can be combined with exploring the older parts of Srinagar and nearby markets.
Old Srinagar & Local Markets
If you have only one day for sightseeing, don't spend the entire day moving between tourist attractions. Allow some time to experience Old Srinagar. Explore traditional markets, local handicrafts, Kashmiri textiles, spices, dry fruits, carpets and other regional products. This is also an opportunity to experience the city's everyday culture beyond its lakes and gardens.
Things to Do in Srinagar
Your Srinagar Holiday Package can include several experiences depending on the season and your interests.
Take a Shikara Ride- Spend time on Dal Lake and explore the floating side of Srinagar.
Stay on a Houseboat- Choose a traditional houseboat for one or more nights.
Explore Mughal Gardens- Visit Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh and Chashme Shahi.
Visit Historic Religious Sites- Explore Hazratbal, Jama Masjid and Shankaracharya Temple while respecting local customs.
Shop for Kashmiri Handicrafts- Look for carpets, shawls, papier-mâché products, woodcraft, saffron, dry fruits and other regional products.
Try Kashmiri Cuisine- Depending on your food preferences, try dishes such as Rogan Josh, Yakhni, Dum Aloo, Kashmiri Pulao and other traditional preparations.
Enjoy Srinagar in Different Seasons- The city changes dramatically throughout the year, from spring blossoms to lush summer landscapes and autumn colours.
Srinagar Tour Packages with Gulmarg, Pahalgam & Sonamarg
For most travellers, Srinagar is even more valuable as part of a broader Kashmir tour package.
Instead of spending your entire holiday in the city, you can use Srinagar as a base and combine it with Kashmir's major mountain destinations.
Srinagar + Gulmarg
Gulmarg is famous for its alpine scenery, meadows, winter snow and gondola experience.
This combination works particularly well for couples and families looking for both city sightseeing and mountain experiences.
Srinagar + Pahalgam
Pahalgam offers forests, rivers, valleys and mountain landscapes.
A Srinagar-Pahalgam combination provides a more nature-oriented Kashmir holiday.
Srinagar + Sonamarg
Sonamarg is known for its dramatic mountain scenery and access to high-altitude landscapes.
It works well as a day excursion or as part of a longer Kashmir itinerary.
Srinagar + Gulmarg + Pahalgam + Sonamarg
This is one of the most popular ways to experience Kashmir's major destinations.
A longer itinerary allows you to experience Srinagar's cultural attractions while also visiting the valley's mountain landscapes.

Best Time to Visit Srinagar
Srinagar is a year-round destination, but the experience changes significantly with the seasons.
March to May – Spring
Spring is one of the most attractive seasons for visiting Srinagar. The city's gardens and surrounding landscapes become vibrant, making this period especially appealing to photographers, couples and first-time visitors.
June to August – Summer
Summer provides comfortable opportunities for sightseeing and exploring the Kashmir Valley. This is also a popular holiday period for families.
September to November – Autumn
Autumn brings changing foliage and striking colours to Kashmir. If you enjoy photography and quieter landscapes, this can be an excellent time for a Srinagar holiday.
December to February – Winter
Winter brings a colder side of Srinagar, and snowfall is possible depending on weather conditions. Travellers particularly interested in snow often combine Srinagar with Gulmarg, where winter conditions are generally more suitable for snow experiences and skiing.
How to Reach Srinagar?
By Air- Srinagar Airport is the main gateway for travellers arriving by air. Flights connect Srinagar with major Indian cities, making air travel the most convenient option for many visitors. Airport pickup can be included in your Srinagar tour package.
By Road- Srinagar is connected to other parts of Jammu & Kashmir and northern India by road. Road travel can be scenic but journey times can vary depending on weather, traffic, road conditions and seasonal restrictions.
By Train- There is no conventional railway station in central Srinagar. Travellers using the railway network may need to connect through the Jammu region or use the railway service available toward the Kashmir Valley and continue by road depending on the operational route and their itinerary. For most travellers arriving from distant Indian cities, flying remains the simplest option.
How Many Days Are Enough for Srinagar?
For Srinagar sightseeing alone, 2–3 nights can provide enough time to experience the city's major attractions. However, if you are using Srinagar as the starting point for a Kashmir holiday, 5–7 days is much more practical.
For example:
4 Nights / 5 Days: Srinagar + Gulmarg + Pahalgam
5 Nights / 6 Days: Srinagar + Gulmarg + Pahalgam + Sonamarg
6 Nights / 7 Days: Srinagar + Gulmarg + Pahalgam + Sonamarg with additional leisure time
The ideal duration ultimately depends on your travel pace and the number of destinations you want to cover.

Tips for Planning a Srinagar Trip
Don't Treat Srinagar Only as a Transit Point- The city has enough attractions to deserve at least a full day of sightseeing.
Keep Your Itinerary Flexible- Mountain weather can change quickly. Avoid creating a schedule where every hour depends on perfect road conditions.
Book Seasonal Travel Early- Peak periods, particularly summer holidays and winter snow season, can increase demand for hotels and transportation.
Choose Your Hotel Location Carefully- A hotel that looks inexpensive on paper may not be convenient if it is far from your planned sightseeing areas.
Check Activity Availability- Gondola rides, water activities and other experiences may depend on weather, local operations and availability.
Respect Local Customs- Dress modestly when visiting religious places and follow local photography guidelines.
