Land packages start from Rs 11,999 per person, and with return flights a Kashmir trip from Shimla typically costs about Rs 30,000 to Rs 43,000 per person.

Prices below are per person on twin sharing for the Kashmir part of the trip (private car, driver, hotels, breakfast and dinner). The flight estimate is a typical return economy fare from Shimla to Srinagar booked 3 to 6 weeks ahead; we book the flights for you and confirm the exact fare before you pay.
Right now: Snow season is close. Winter packages run from 15 November to 31 March, Gulmarg usually has reliable snow from late December, and the Christmas and New Year week is the first to sell out for travellers from Shimla, so hotels for those dates are worth holding early.
Happy Jacks Tours and Travels is a Srinagar based team with its own hotels in Pahalgam and its own cars with local drivers, rated 4.9 on Google by more than 130 travellers.
The nearest airport for Shimla is Chandigarh International Airport (IXC). Flights to Srinagar International Airport (SXR) from here usually connect through Delhi, and some routes have direct flights on certain days, so we check the quickest option for your dates. Once you land, our Srinagar team handles the airport pickup, hotels or houseboat, sightseeing and every transfer.
By road or rail, Shimla is close to the Jammu route: trains and the NH44 highway run via Pathankot to Jammu, and from there it is a full day’s drive to Srinagar, or you can continue by train from Katra on the Katra to Srinagar line where schedules suit.
These are the packages travellers from Shimla book most often. The land price is fixed per package; airfare is added at the fare on your dates and confirmed before you pay.
| Package | Land price per person | Typical total with return flights |
|---|---|---|
| Kashmir Tour, 3 Nights / 4 Days | Rs 13,999 | about Rs 28,000 to Rs 33,000 |
| Kashmir Fun Tour, 4 Nights / 5 Days | Rs 15,999 | about Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000 |
| Kashmir Tour Package, 5 Nights / 6 Days | Rs 21,275 | about Rs 34,000 to Rs 40,000 |
We recommend 4 to 6 days for a trip from Shimla, because the journey to Srinagar is quick, so even a short trip feels complete. A typical plan covers Srinagar and Dal Lake, a day in Gulmarg for the Gondola, two nights in Pahalgam for Betaab and Aru valleys, and a day trip to Sonmarg. Families with children or elders can add a slow day, and couples often add a houseboat night.
Travellers from Shimla already know mountain weather, so the draw is what is different: Dal Lake houseboats, Mughal gardens, the Gulmarg Gondola and deep winter snow. April to June and September to October are the easiest months; December to February is for snow.
Hindi is spoken almost everywhere in Kashmir, so talking to drivers, hotel staff and shopkeepers is easy. Every hotel we book serves vegetarian and non vegetarian meals, and you can try Kashmiri wazwan and kahwa along the way.
