What happens if roads to Sonamarg or Doodhpathri are closed during our tour?

During winter (December-March), if Sonamarg road is closed due to snow, we substitute with Yusmarg or additional time in Gulmarg. For Doodhpathri closure, we visit Tangmarg meadows or extend Pahalgam sightseeing. No reduction in tour value or refund applicable.

How many people can comfortably travel in the Innova for 5N6D tour?

The Innova Crysta accommodates 7 passengers legally, but for a comfortable 6-day tour with luggage, we recommend maximum 6 people. For larger groups, we provide Tempo Traveller (12-seater) at ₹18,000 for the same 5N6D itinerary.

Gulmarg Gondola operates year-round except during maintenance (usually 15 days in November). Phase-2 to Apharwat Peak may close during heavy snowfall or high winds. Entry fee is ₹740 for Phase-1 and ₹990 for Phase-2 per person (2024 rates).

We recommend 3-star hotels in Srinagar (₹3,000-5,000/night), Gulmarg (₹4,000-7,000/night), Pahalgam (₹3,500-6,000/night), and Sonamarg camps/hotels (₹2,500-4,500/night). Dal Lake houseboats in Srinagar cost ₹3,000-8,000/night depending on category and season.
