Day-by-Day Itinerary
A simple and well-planned journey to help you experience the best of Dooars.
After arrival: Meet your Traveexo rep and transfer to your hotel or a deluxe houseboat. Afternoon: Settle in, enjoy a light lunch and a short rest. Evening (after sunset): 1-hour Shikara ride on Dal Lake — glide past floating gardens and the iconic Char Chinar island; photo ops at golden hour. Why it matters: The houseboat + shikara gives instant, quintessential Kashmir vibes — calm, reflective and cinematic. Expert tip: Book the shikara late afternoon for soft light; keep a light shawl for the lake breeze. 🧣 🛏️ Overnight: Srinagar (hotel / houseboat)
Day Activities
Day Highlights
After breakfast: Drive ~2 hours to Gulmarg — world-famous meadow and winter-sports hub. Midday: Take the Gondola Cable Car (Phase I or II) to higher ridges; soak panoramic Himalayan vistas. Try snow activities (seasonal) or meadow walks (summer). Afternoon: Lunch with mountain views; gentle stroll or optional short trek. Evening: Return to Srinagar for a relaxed dinner. Why it matters: Gondola lifts you into thin-air panoramas — a highlight for first-time visitors. Expert tip: Carry sunglasses and sunscreen (snow glare), and arrive early to avoid queues at the gondola. 😎 🛏️ Overnight: Srinagar

After breakfast: Drive ~3 hours along the Sindh River to Sonmarg — alpine valley framed by jagged peaks. Midday: Optional pony ride or short walk to Thajiwas Glacier for snow play and dramatic photos. Enjoy riverside views and a packed picnic. Afternoon: Return to Srinagar via scenic river corridors. Why it matters: Sonmarg contrasts Gulmarg — glacier touchpoints and sweeping river valleys.
