Houseboats on Dal Lake, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg, snow or summer meadows, what to pack and the Indian visa: Kashmir for Bangladeshi travellers.
Kashmir Valleys
- India
- 6 days · 5 nights
A Srinagar-based holiday with Dal Lake and separate Gulmarg and Pahalgam excursions. Spend time around Dal Lake and Srinagar’s gardens before dedicating separate days to Gulmarg and Pahalgam. The six-day stay gives Srinagar and the two valleys their own time. Houseboat stays, the gondola ride and outlying-valley vehicles are paid extras. Keep the final Srinagar day for an easy pace and local discoveries.

FlightReturn flight routing from Dhaka is planned with this international package; timings are confirmed after booking.
Day 1
Dhaka to Srinagar
Travel to Srinagar using the routing and connections actually confirmed. Settle into your accommodation; a houseboat stay is a separate accommodation upgrade. Spend the evening beside Dal Lake, watching the boats and waterside life.
Day 2
Srinagar
Add a licensed shikara ride to glide across Dal Lake’s reflective water. Visit selected Mughal gardens without trying to cover every garden in one day. Allow a lunch and rest break in Srinagar. Return to your accommodation before adding any optional evening activity.
Day 3
Gulmarg
Travel to Gulmarg through Kashmir’s mountain scenery. Add the separately ticketed gondola ride for a higher perspective over the slopes. Take a meal break and choose activities suited to the season and your mobility. Return to Srinagar with a mountain-road buffer.
Day 4
Pahalgam
Travel toward Pahalgam and the Lidder River valley. Enjoy a valley walk or viewpoint beside the Lidder River landscape. Return to Srinagar; a Pahalgam overnight replaces one Srinagar night as a separate stay option.
Day 5
Back to Srinagar
Use this day for Srinagar sights missed earlier rather than another long excursion. Browse local crafts without treating shopping stops as compulsory. Prepare for your departure after the day’s Srinagar visits.
Day 6
Fly home
Check out and allow time for airport security procedures. Fly home using your confirmed domestic and international connections.
