Kashmir (Srinagar)
Trip Cost Guide

Kashmir, often called Paradise on Earth, is 812 km from Delhi — a 2-day drive through Punjab, Jammu, and the dramatic Jawahar Tunnel. While flights to Srinagar are faster, driving with Triveni Cabs lets you experience the incredible journey through changing landscapes and make stops at Patnitop and Katra.

A 5-7 day Kashmir trip from Delhi costs ₹15,000-60,000 depending on your travel style. The cab fare is substantial given the distance, but having your own vehicle in Kashmir is invaluable — public transport between Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonmarg is unreliable and time-consuming.

Kashmir offers exceptional experiences at every budget level. Budget travelers can stay in cozy houseboats on Dal Lake for ₹2,000/night, eat incredible wazwan at local restaurants, and enjoy the stunning natural beauty — most of which is free. Luxury travelers can opt for heritage hotels, deluxe houseboats with butlers, and private shikara rides at sunset.

The biggest variable costs are adventure activities: Gulmarg gondola (₹740-920), horse riding in Pahalgam (₹1,500-3,000), and Sonmarg glacier treks. Plan ₹3,000-5,000 for these. For a classic mid-range 6-day itinerary covering Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam, budget ₹25,000-30,000 per person all-inclusive.
