How do I book this package and what is the payment schedule?

You can initiate booking by submitting an enquiry on this page or reaching out via WhatsApp. A 30% advance deposit secures your hotel reservations and private cab. The remaining balance is payable upon arrival in Srinagar.

Are Gulmarg Gondola cable car tickets included in this package?

Gondola tickets are managed by the J&K Cable Car Corporation and require traveler ID verification. We assist you with booking links and optimal time-slot selection to avoid queues at Phase 1 (Kongdoori) and Phase 2 (Apharwat Peak).

Are houseboats in Srinagar heated during autumn and winter?

Yes! All our partner houseboats on Dal and Nigeen Lake are equipped with electric bed warmers and traditional Kashmiri Bukhari heating, ensuring cozy comfort even in freezing temperatures.

What kind of mobile network connectivity works in Kashmir?

Only Postpaid mobile connections (Airtel, Jio, BSNL) work in Jammu & Kashmir due to telecom security regulations. Prepaid SIMs from other Indian states will not have network in the valley. Local SIM cards can be arranged with your Aadhaar card.

Can this itinerary be customized for our family or honeymoon?

Absolutely. Every package from The Indian Wings Company is 100% customizable. We can adjust the days, include candlelight dinners, add photography sessions, or upgrade vehicle and hotel categories.
