Kashmir 2 Nights 3 Days Package — Overview
The Kashmir 2 nights 3 days package from Thrillop is designed for travellers who have limited time but want to experience the very best of Kashmir without compromise. At starting ₹6,999 per person, this is one of the most competitively priced short Kashmir packages available — booked directly with a Kashmir-based team, not through a Delhi aggregator adding commission at every step.
In three days you cover Srinagar's iconic Mughal Gardens, a shikara ride on Dal Lake, a full-day excursion to Gulmarg with the Gondola cable car, Hazratbal Shrine, and Shankaracharya Temple. It is a tight itinerary but a well-paced one — every day has a clear focus and no wasted driving time.

Is 2 Nights 3 Days Enough for Kashmir?
Yes — if you focus on Srinagar and Gulmarg. Three days is the minimum viable Kashmir trip. You will not see Pahalgam or Sonamarg on this itinerary, but you will experience Dal Lake, the Mughal Gardens, Gulmarg meadows and the Gondola ride, and Srinagar's heritage sites. Most first-time visitors who do this trip end up booking the 5 nights 6 days package on their next visit — but they always say they are glad they came even for three days.
To get the most out of a 3-day Kashmir trip:
- Book an early morning flight into Srinagar — arriving by 10 AM gives you a full Day 1
- Book a late evening departure on Day 3 — the airport drop is included in this package
- Do not try to add Pahalgam or Sonamarg — the drives will eat your entire day and you will feel rushed at every stop

What You Will See on This Trip
Dal Lake and Srinagar Mughal Gardens — Day 1
Your first day sets the tone for Kashmir. After airport pickup, you begin with Srinagar's famous Mughal Gardens — Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh along the eastern shore of Dal Lake, and Chashme Shahi with its natural spring water. The evening ends with a 1-hour shikara ride on Dal Lake at sunset — lotus flowers, wooden houseboats, and the Zabarwan Mountains reflected in the water. This is the Kashmir of every photograph you have ever seen, experienced in person.
Gulmarg Full Day — Day 2
Day 2 is entirely dedicated to Gulmarg, Kashmir's most famous hill station and ski resort, about 2 hours from Srinagar. The Gondola cable car at Gulmarg is the highest cable car in Asia, climbing to 3,979 metres above sea level with panoramic views of Nanga Parbat — the world's ninth-highest peak — on clear days. In summer, the meadows are open and green. In winter, Gulmarg is India's premier ski destination with slopes open from December to March.
Srinagar Heritage — Day 3
The final morning covers Srinagar's heritage sites before your departure. Hazratbal Shrine, with its white marble architecture and sacred relic, sits directly on the western bank of Dal Lake. Shankaracharya Temple, perched on a hilltop at 1,100 metres, offers the finest panoramic view of Srinagar city and the entire Dal Lake from above. Old Srinagar's wooden mosques, spice markets, and traditional Kandur Waan bakeries round out the morning before your airport transfer.
Best Time for This 3-Day Kashmir Package
- April to June: Tulip Garden is open in March-April. Gardens in full bloom, pleasant temperatures. Most popular window for this itinerary.
- July to September: Green meadows in Gulmarg, clear lake reflections, warm days. Good for families and couples.
