Kashmir Tour Travel is a Srinagar-based travel agency and tour operator, and a unit of C Himalaya Tour & Travels. Our office is in Humhama, on the Budgam Road side of Srinagar, and the people who answer your enquiry are the people who coordinate your hotels, houseboats, drivers and local sightseeing on the ground. This page explains how we work: how a route is planned, what a written quotation contains, and what to check before you pay an advance. If you already know which trip you want, start with Kashmir tour packages.
About our Srinagar travel agency
A travel agency sells you a plan; a tour operator runs it on the ground. We work as both from one Srinagar office, so your booking is not passed to another company once it is confirmed. Your enquiry is handled by a named tour executive who knows your file, your dates and the pace your group can manage.
In practice that means the route you agree is the route we drive, the hotel or houseboat we quote is the one we hold, and the person you call two days before arrival is the person who arranged the trip. If weather, road conditions or a cancelled Gondola slot force a change, you deal with the same team.

Local planning and coordination of your Kashmir itinerary
Good planning in Kashmir is mostly about time: how long a drive really takes, when a valley is busiest, how early the Gondola queue starts and how much daylight is left after check-in. Share your arrival point, the nights you have and the pace your party prefers, and we will suggest overnight stops instead of a list of places to tick off.
These are the arrangements that decide whether a trip feels relaxed or rushed, and they are all settled before you travel:
- Local vehicles: Aru, Betaab Valley and Chandanwari in Pahalgam, and Zero Point or Thajiwas in Sonamarg, are usually reached by separate local taxis with their own tariff.
- Gondola tickets: Gulmarg Gondola Phase 1 and Phase 2 depend on date, weather and slot availability, so keep an alternative plan for the same day.
- Seasonal access: snow clearing, road closures and permit conditions can change the order of a route, especially in Gurez and on high passes.
- Stays: central heating or a portable heater, lift access, room location and the distance from the road to a houseboat matter more in winter than the star rating.
- Rest time: families, older travellers and small groups need consistent departure times, meal breaks and walking distances built into the plan.
Kashmir travel agency services we arrange
You can book a complete trip or a single arrangement — hotels only, a houseboat only, or transport only. Everything is quoted in writing for your dates before anything is held.
Custom Kashmir trips
Share your dates, party and preferred pace and we build a day-by-day route with overnight stops that match real driving times, leaving room for weather and for the places you actually want to linger in.
Hotels and houseboats
We book rooms and houseboats in Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg, and we will tell you honestly when a cheaper category is the better fit for the season.
Private transport
Private cars with a local driver for arrival, departure and day-wise sightseeing, with the vehicle category, luggage space and any separate local taxi stated before you book.
Trips for your party
Family itineraries with realistic rest stops, honeymoon plans with quieter stays, and group departures where rooms, vehicles and meal times are coordinated together.
Places we cover and sample route shapes
We plan across Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gurez, with Ladakh, Kargil and Katra added when your dates allow. Distance and season decide the order of a route — not the other way round. These are the shapes most travellers settle on.
4 nights / 5 days
Srinagar → Gulmarg → Pahalgam → Srinagar
The first-visit version: one full day in Srinagar, one in Gulmarg and one in Pahalgam, with the last night back near the airport for an easy departure.
See the five-day plan →5 nights / 6 days
Srinagar → Sonamarg → Gulmarg → Pahalgam → Srinagar
Adds Sonamarg so the long drives are split and every valley gets its own morning. Most comfortable between May and September.
See the six-day plan →7 nights / 8 days
Srinagar → Sonamarg → Gurez or Yousmarg → Gulmarg → Pahalgam → Srinagar
For travellers who want a quieter valley and a spare day in hand if weather turns. Works well for couples and smaller groups.
See the eight-day plan →Support during your trip
Before you fly, you receive the name and number of the coordinator handling your file, along with the vehicle and driver details for your arrival day. If a flight is delayed, a road is closed or a hotel changes your room, you call that number and speak to the office that holds your booking.
On the road we adjust the day within what your quotation allows: reordering sightseeing when a valley is crowded, moving a Gondola attempt to a clearer morning, or shortening a drive when someone in the group needs an easier day.
For anything not yet booked, or to change an existing plan, message the team on WhatsApp or email info@kashmirtourtravel.com.

What your quotation covers and what costs extra
Every trip is priced for your dates, party size, room sharing, vehicle and meal plan, because those five things move the total more than anything else. The from-prices shown on our Kashmir tour packages page are indicative starting rates per person on twin sharing, not a fixed rate for every date — the per-person amount for your party is confirmed in the written quotation once your dates and hotels are checked.
A written quotation from us states, line by line:
- Arrival and departure dates, number of travellers and children's ages.
- Each night's hotel or houseboat by name, room type, sharing basis and meal plan.
- Vehicle category, day-wise route, luggage space and any local taxi paid separately.
- Inclusions, exclusions, the total for the whole party, the advance amount and the balance schedule.
- Cancellation and rescheduling terms, so you know what applies if plans change.
These are normally outside the quoted trip price unless your quotation says otherwise:
- Gulmarg Gondola Phase 1 and Phase 2 tickets, which depend on the authorised price and your slot.
- Aru, Betaab Valley and Chandanwari local taxis in Pahalgam.
- Zero Point or Thajiwas local vehicles in Sonamarg, subject to seasonal access.
- Pony rides, ATV, sledge and snow gear at the destination.
- Mughal Garden and Tulip Garden entry tickets in Srinagar, and Shikara rides on Dal Lake.
- Heating surcharges, parking, taxes and any service outside the agreed vehicle route.
Compare the figures you are given and make sure the hotels, vehicle and meal plan match. Read our booking terms before paying an advance.
What to ask before you pay
Kashmir trips are sold by agencies, taxi operators and hotels directly, so these questions are worth asking of any company — including us:
- Which hotel or houseboat is named in writing, and is it the property you will actually stay in?
- What does the vehicle include: fuel, tolls, parking, driver allowance, and which days are covered?
- Are the Gondola, garden entry tickets and local valley taxis inside the price or paid separately?
- What is the advance, when is the balance due, and what happens if your dates change?
- Who is your contact in Srinagar if a hotel or vehicle fails during the trip?
- Is the business name, office address and GSTIN printed on the quotation and the receipt?
If an offer cannot answer those in writing, treat the price as incomplete rather than cheap.
Kashmir travel agency FAQs
Is Kashmir Tour Travel a travel agency or a tour operator?
Both. As a travel agency we plan the trip and issue a written quotation for your dates. As a tour operator we run the arrangements inside Kashmir — vehicles, drivers, hotels, houseboats and local sightseeing — from our Srinagar office. Kashmir Tour Travel is a unit of C Himalaya Tour & Travels.
Where is your office in Srinagar and can I visit?
Our office is at Humhama, near Masjid Muhammadi on Budgam Road, Srinagar 190021, on the airport side of the city. We are open Monday to Saturday, 10:00–18:00 IST. Visits are by appointment, so call +91 7006259761 first and we will keep a tour executive free for you.
Can I book only a hotel, houseboat or car without a package?
Yes. Hotels, houseboats and private vehicles can be booked on their own, subject to availability for your dates. Tell us the property or the route, your dates and the number of rooms, and we will quote that arrangement separately instead of a full itinerary.
Do you arrange Srinagar airport pickup and drop?
Yes. Airport transfers are part of most of our itineraries and can also be quoted for a hotel-only or transport-only booking. Share your flight numbers once they are confirmed so the driver is timed to your arrival rather than to an estimated time.
How do I get a written quotation from your travel agency?
Send your travel dates, number of travellers, children's ages, preferred destinations, hotel category and meal plan through the enquiry form, WhatsApp or email. We check availability and send a written itinerary and quotation for those dates. An enquiry on its own does not block any room or vehicle.
Do you plan family, honeymoon and group trips differently?
Yes. Family trips are planned with shorter drives, regular rest stops and rooms that suit children or older travellers. Honeymoon trips use quieter stays and slower mornings. Group departures coordinate rooms, vehicles and meal timings together so nobody spends the morning waiting.
Which places in Kashmir do you cover?
Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gurez are our regular routes, with Kargil, Leh Ladakh and Katra added on longer trips. Driving time between valleys sets the plan, so we will tell you when a place does not fit the nights you have.
How do payments and confirmation work?
Your quotation states the advance that confirms the booking and the date the balance is due; the amounts depend on the hotels and vehicle held for your dates. Arrangements are confirmed to you in writing once the advance is received, and the booking terms set out cancellation and rescheduling.
Can I see your GST and tourism registration before paying?
Yes. Ask for the GSTIN and tourism registration details held in the business name of C Himalaya Tour & Travels and we will send them with your quotation. Do not pay an advance to any Kashmir operator that will not share its registered business details in writing.
