Want a Kashmir holiday from Mumbai that doesn't empty your savings? Our cheap Kashmir tour packages start at ₹19,999 per person (twin-sharing, land-only) and still include real houseboats on Dal Lake, all meals, separate transport for sightseeing, and Gulmarg gondola Phase-1. Here's how we keep the cost low without compromising on what matters.
How we keep the price low
- Group volume — fixed monthly departures of 20–40 travellers let us negotiate fleet rates with houseboats and hotels.
- Off-peak departures — November and February departures are 20–30% cheaper than May/June.
- Mumbai bus to Srinagar via Delhi — for budget-conscious groups we offer overnight train Mumbai→Jammu, then road to Srinagar (saves ₹6,000–₹9,000 vs flights).
- Triple sharing rooms — for families, triple sharing cuts another ₹2,500 per person.
- Our own cook on the group — eliminates the 'hotel pure-veg upgrade' charge.
What's included even in our cheapest packages
The base ₹19,999 group tour includes:
- 2 nights houseboat on Dal Lake (D/Deluxe category)
- 1 night hotel in Gulmarg + 1 night Pahalgam + 1 night Sonmarg
- All sightseeing transfers in shared Tempo Traveller
- Gulmarg Gondola Phase-1 tickets
- Shikara ride on Dal Lake
- All breakfasts and dinners (pure veg / Jain on request)
- Tour manager from Mumbai/Surat/Ahmedabad onwards
- GST and applicable permits
Cheap ≠ cheating: what to watch out for in other operators
Beware of operators advertising Kashmir below ₹15,000 — usually one or more of these is happening:
- No houseboat (only hotel) — you miss the iconic Dal Lake stay
- Sightseeing transport priced 'extra at actuals' on arrival
- Gondola tickets not included — Phase-1 alone is ₹740/person
- 'Pure veg' but no Jain — onion/garlic-only kitchens
- Last-minute hotel switch to lower category
Always ask for an itemised inclusion list before paying.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Kashmir tour from Mumbai in 2026?
Our base Kashmir 6N/7D group tour starts at ₹19,999 per person on twin-sharing (land-only). On triple-sharing it can come down to ₹17,500 per person. Off-peak November and February departures are cheaper still.
Why are some Kashmir packages priced under ₹15,000?
Sub-₹15,000 packages typically exclude transport, houseboat, gondola or meals — these get charged 'at actuals' on arrival and the final cost ends up around ₹22,000–₹25,000 with worse hotels. Stick to operators publishing itemised inclusions.
Can I book a cheap Kashmir tour for a family of 4?
Yes — for a family of 4 we offer two double-rooms or one family room (where available). Custom family tours from ₹22,000 per person can be designed if you don't want to travel in a group.
