Who this guide is for
This article is written for engaged couples and newlyweds searching for a Kashmir honeymoon package — people who want a romantic itinerary, clear pricing guidance, safe travel advice, and luxury-to-budget options. The goal: transform search interest into a delightful, bookable trip.
Why choose a Kashmir honeymoon package?
Kashmir pairs dramatic scenery with intimate experiences: houseboat stays on Dal Lake, private shikara rides, alpine meadows in Gulmarg, and secluded valleys like Pahalgam and Aru. Choosing a packaged itinerary saves time, reduces logistical risk on mountain roads, and adds curated romantic extras (private dinners, room décor, photography).
6–7 Day Kashmir Honeymoon Itinerary (romantic + balanced)
- Day 1 — Arrive Srinagar: Transfer to a luxury houseboat on Dal Lake. Evening: private candlelit dinner. (houseboat honeymoon)
- Day 2 — Srinagar: Shikara ride at sunrise, Mughal gardens (Nishat & Shalimar), local shopping at Polo View Market.
- Day 3 — Gulmarg: Drive to Gulmarg (1.5–2 hrs). Gondola ride, alpine walk, sunset couple photos.
- Day 4 — Gulmarg: Skiing/gondola Phase II (seasonal) or meadow picnic and relaxed exploration.
- Day 5 — Pahalgam: Scenic drive to Pahalgam; evening riverside walk by Lidder River.
- Day 6 — Pahalgam (Aru/Betaab): Pony ride, light treks, private picnic in meadows.
- Day 7 — Return Srinagar & depart: Last-minute shopping and transfer to airport.
This itinerary is ideal for couples seeking romance + light adventure. Swap or extend days for Sonamarg or Doodhpathri if you prefer offbeat privacy.
