A Shikara ride across Dal Lake, mountain views in Gulmarg and time beside Pahalgam’s Lidder River discover Kashmir through a holiday that brings its different landscapes together. Kesari’s Kashmir tour packages include options for family holidays, couples, women’s groups and journeys combining sightseeing with Vaishno Devi.
Start by choosing your holiday duration and travel arrangement. Explore a six-day Kashmir trip, spend a week discovering the valley, or choose a longer itinerary with overnight stays in more destinations. Flight-inclusive departures and joining and leaving options let you plan the journey around your departure city.
Tour names can look similar, but the tour code, departure arrangement and overnight stays help explain the difference. The following examples give you a starting point for comparing Kashmir holiday packages.

Prices checked on 23 October 2026. Starting prices apply to selected departures, per person on twin sharing. Taxes and additional charges apply as specified. Prices may change; confirm the final amount and inclusions before booking. Joining and leaving prices exclude your travel to and from the tour’s meeting and dropping points.
Delightful Kashmir is a useful starting point for travellers who want a week-long holiday with a houseboat experience and time in Pahalgam. The K4 itinerary divides six nights between a Srinagar houseboat, Srinagar hotels and Pahalgam.
Choose the joining and leaving version if you want to arrange your own flights. Compare it with KD if you prefer a listed departure from Mumbai or Pune.
Glorious Kashmir combines three nights in Srinagar with one night each in Sonamarg and Pahalgam. This makes it an option for travellers who want to stay overnight in Sonamarg within a shorter holiday.
The important difference is the overnight route: a six-day tour with several hotel changes can feel different from a seven-day holiday using fewer overnight bases.
The nine-day All of Kashmir with Radisson itinerary includes two nights in Gulmarg and two in Pahalgam, alongside stays in Srinagar. Consider this option if overnight time in the mountains matters more to you than fitting the holiday into a single week.
Its accommodation list includes Radisson properties or similar, alongside other named hotels. The tour name does not mean every night is spent at a Radisson hotel.
Panoramic Kashmir Vaishnodevi – KF combines a seven-day holiday with four nights in Srinagar and two nights in Katra. Its Srinagar stay includes houseboat and hotel accommodation.
This route suits travellers who want to include Vaishno Devi in the same journey. Choose it for the pilgrimage combination rather than assuming it follows the same sightseeing programme as a Kashmir-only tour.
Kesari also lists a dedicated Kashmir Women’s Special tour – L2 lasting six nights and seven days. Explore this option if travelling with a women’s group is an important part of your holiday preference.
For couples, the choice often comes down to accommodation, time together and the daily travel schedule. A houseboat night offers a different experience from a hotel stay, while overnight stays in Pahalgam or Gulmarg allow more time in those destinations.
Kesari’s Kashmir Honeymoon listing is currently marked “Coming Soon” on the category page. Enquire about upcoming departures rather than assuming a dedicated honeymoon group is available for every date.
Srinagar brings a gentler rhythm to your Kashmir trip. A Shikara ride offers views from the lake, while the city’s gardens and heritage attractions add variety to the sightseeing.
A houseboat stay is a separate experience: you spend the night on board rather than returning to a hotel. Travellers who want both should choose an itinerary that explicitly includes both.
Gulmarg is a highlight for travellers drawn to mountain views and winter landscapes. The Gondola adds a different perspective, taking the experience beyond a road journey through the valley.
For example, Delightful Kashmir’s published programme includes a cable-car excursion towards Apharwat, subject to availability. Skiing and snowboarding are listed as activities at your own cost. Snow conditions and cable-car operations depend on local conditions.
Pahalgam is a natural choice for travellers who enjoy riverside scenery and mountain surroundings. Staying overnight gives you a different experience from visiting on a day excursion.
Look at the overnight allocation when comparing tours: Glorious Kashmir includes one night in Pahalgam, while Delightful Kashmir includes two. This is a more useful distinction than simply seeing “Pahalgam” on both destination lists.
Sonamarg, also written as Sonmarg, brings another mountain landscape into the journey. Some routes visit it as an excursion; Glorious Kashmir includes an overnight stay.
Access is subject to roads being open and applicable permissions, so the actual programme may change when conditions require it.
For a first visit, six to seven days is a practical starting point when comparing Kesari’s Kashmir itineraries. Choose a longer holiday if you want additional overnight stays rather than more sightseeing squeezed into each day.
Use your priorities to decide:
Six days: Consider Glorious Kashmir if its route and overnight stops match your plans.
Seven days: Compare Delightful Kashmir and specialist itineraries according to your travel style.
Nine days: Consider All of Kashmir with Radisson if you want a longer holiday with overnight time in Gulmarg.
This is a planning guide based on the listed itineraries. Arrival times, road journeys and the daily programme determine how much time you actually spend exploring each place.
Choose spring for blossoms, summer for greener landscapes, autumn for changing foliage and winter for snow-focused scenery. Your preferred experience matters more than finding one “best” month for everyone.

Srinagar’s official visitor guide identifies these four broad seasons. Snowfall, flower displays and attraction access cannot be guaranteed for an individual departure.
Flight-inclusive packages cover the airfare specified for the selected departure. Joining and leaving packages let you arrange your own travel and meet the group at the designated destination.
For travellers searching for Kashmir tour packages from Mumbai or Pune, KD currently lists departures from both cities. The starting fare in the comparison table relates to Mumbai; city and date selections can change the price.
Joining and leaving can suit travellers from other cities, those using airline points or those planning a longer personal trip. Compare the complete cost—tour, flights and any separate transfers—before deciding which arrangement offers better value.
Your overnight accommodation shapes the holiday as much as the sightseeing. A houseboat night, a Srinagar hotel and a stay in Pahalgam each offer a different setting.
