The Ultimate 5-Day Srinagar Package: Explore Pahalgam, Doodhpathri & More
Kashmir — the very name brings peace to the heart and magic to the imagination. It’s not just a destination; it’s a feeling, a place that looks straight out of a dream. From crystal-clear lakes to snow-dusted peaks, saffron fields to pine-covered valleys, everything here feels timeless.
If you’ve
been planning a refreshing break, then this 4 Nights / 5 Days Srinagar package is just perfect. Whether you're a nature lover, a photography
enthusiast, or someone who just wants to unwind from the hustle and bustle,
Kashmir has something for everyone.
π Day 1: Arrive in Srinagar –
Welcome to Paradise
As you
land in Srinagar, the crisp mountain air and stunning views instantly lift your
mood. You’ll be received and transferred to your hotel or houseboat — yes,
staying in a houseboat on Dal Lake is truly something else.
Later in
the day, go for a peaceful Shikara ride. The sound of the water, the
sight of floating gardens, and the backdrop of snow-covered hills — it all
feels surreal.
By evening,
visit the beautiful Mughal Gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat
Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. These gardens, built by Mughal emperors,
are full of flowers, fountains, and old-world charm.
π Overnight stay in Srinagar.
π Day 2: Srinagar to Pahalgam –
Valley of Shepherds
After
breakfast, head towards Pahalgam, about a 3-hour drive. On the way,
you’ll pass through saffron fields at Pampore and the ancient Awantipora
temples — great spot to stretch your legs and click some pictures.
Pahalgam
is all about lush greenery, riverside views, and peace. You can take a pony
ride to Baisaran (Mini Switzerland) or explore Aru Valley and Betaab
Valley (named after the Bollywood movie Betaab that was shot there).
The sound
of the Lidder River, the towering pine trees, and the fresh mountain breeze
will stay with you long after the trip ends.
π Overnight stay in Pahalgam.
π Day 3: Back to Srinagar – Old
City, Food & Local Life
Today,
after breakfast, drive back to Srinagar. This day is more about the cultural
side of Kashmir.
Start
with a visit to Hazratbal Shrine, located beside the Dal Lake. Then
explore the Old City — especially Jamia Masjid, with its 370
wooden pillars and calm vibes. Don’t miss the narrow lanes around it; they’re
full of hidden charm.
Have
lunch at a local restaurant and try dishes like Rogan Josh, Yakhni,
and Kashmiri Dum Aloo — all served with warm-hearted hospitality.
In the
evening, shop at Lal Chowk or the local handicraft market. You’ll find
everything from Pashmina shawls and Kashmiri carpets to dry
fruits and walnut wood artefacts.
π Overnight stay in Srinagar.
π Day 4: A Day Trip to Doodhpathri
– Nature at Its Best
After
breakfast, set out for Doodhpathri, a quiet and stunning place just
1.5–2 hours away from Srinagar.
The name
Doodhpathri means “Valley of Milk,” thanks to the milky colour of the stream
that flows through this meadow. You can enjoy horse riding, picnic by the
river, or simply lie down on the grass and listen to the wind.
Unlike
the crowded tourist spots, Doodhpathri is peaceful, untouched, and
absolutely refreshing.
In the
evening, return to Srinagar. If you’re staying in a houseboat, enjoy some
relaxing time on the deck watching the reflection of mountains in the lake.
π Overnight stay in Srinagar.
π Day 5: Departure – Memories for
a Lifetime
After
breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to this beautiful land. You’ll be dropped
at Srinagar airport with your heart full of memories.
But don’t
worry — Kashmir has a strange way of calling you back again. Once is never
enough.
π A Few Handy Tips:
- Always carry a valid photo
ID
- Keep warm clothes handy —

- Phone networks can be
patchy; BSNL or Jio work best in remote areas
- Respect local customs and
always ask before clicking photos of people
