Thrillophilia Kashmir tour packages from Mumbai start at INR 13,000 and have just become so much easier to book. After a long day of work, even Mumbai feels unwelcoming with too much heat, too many crowds, and too much pressure, but not enough relaxation. Well, we think you should apply for leave right away.
With a direct flight from BOM under 2.5 hours, we understand why Mumbai travellers love Kashmir. Coming from a city of more than 20 million, Kashmir’s snow and silence transport you to another world entirely. Sipping on kahwa in the middle of Dal Lake on your houseboat at night, no international destination can rival that feeling.
We noticed an increasing hunger for premium experiences among our Mumbai travellers, and we delivered. Private houseboats on Dal Lake, curated Mughal Garden breakfasts, and guided treks that don’t feel lazily copied from some website. We at Thrillophilia design our packages to let you experience those rare feelings, not just the destination. Every itinerary is specifically designed with you in mind.
All you need is 5–7 days to completely unwind from the constant hustle of Mumbai. Step back and let us take care of everything, with thoughtfully curated packages that handle every aspect of your trip, from smooth transfers to well-planned sightseeing.
We offer over 40+ packages with 100% customisations for our Mumbai to Kashmir tours. We curate your itinerary specifically with you and your needs in mind. Whether you’re a solo traveller, a group traveller, on your honeymoon, or maybe you’re budget-conscious, we have something for everyone.
All our packages include hotels, breakfast, transfers, 24/7 on-ground assistance, and flight transfers for selected itineraries. We also include tickets for activities already mentioned in the itinerary with add-ons that you choose.
Here are our best packages of 3 different tiers for a tour from Mumbai to Kashmir, along with sample itineraries, so that you get a glimpse into what you’ll experience with us.
Sample Itinerary
This package covers two of the most popular places in Kashmir. As per our booking team, 53% of our first-time Kashmir visitors from Mumbai chose this package. Besides being economical, it covers the major attractions of Kashmir along with curated experiences like a Shikara ride and an overnight houseboat stay.
Expert Tip:
Many of our travellers miss out on the beauty of Old Srinagar. With the old wooden architecture and the alleys near Jamia Masjid, you’ll discover a city within a city. We recommend trying sheermal at the local bakeries near the masjid.
Itinerary
This package is preferred by over 60% of our Mumbai travellers for their honeymoons, and we know why. Our honeymoon packages are specially crafted with your privacy in mind. Whether it is walking through saffron fields or visiting Strawberry Valley, we personalise these moments within your itinerary.
Thrillophilia Traveller Note:
Arjun Nair, a Mumbai traveller who booked a Kashmir honeymoon package, said, “This luxury honeymoon package exceeded all expectations. From private transfers to premium stays, everything was top-notch. The gondola ride in Gulmarg and sightseeing in Srinagar were absolute highlights. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us time to explore as well as relax. Truly a memorable and comfortable experience. The tour typically includes stays in Srinagar, Pahalgam, and Gulmarg, along with experiences like a shikara ride, sightseeing tours, and scenic excursions!”
Itinerary
With a deluxe stay, this package is ideal for travellers who prefer a more comfortable and thoughtfully planned experience. It suits those returning to Kashmir and looking to enjoy it differently, while also being perfect for first-time visitors who want to experience the destination at its best. Quiet Shikara rides on Dal Lake, and visits to apple orchards together create the kind of Kashmir experience many travellers hope for.
Expert Tip:
Sonamarg remains one of Kashmir’s most striking destinations, known for its untouched beauty and glacier views that draw travellers from across the world. Since it gets crowded quickly, visiting early often makes a big difference. You get more time to enjoy the landscape peacefully, and if you plan to take a pony ride, you may also avoid paying higher charges later in the day.

Verified Thrillophilia Booking, February 2026 Departure
The easiest way to reach Kashmir from Mumbai is by a direct flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. It takes approximately 2.5 hours with no stops. Layover flights, however, can take up to 5-8 hours. You can also travel by train, but it takes over 24 hours to reach Kashmir that way.
If you’re planning to visit in peak season (March - August), make sure to book your tickets at least 2 months in advance. Otherwise, you’d have to pay spiked prices for high-demand flights.
Thrillophilia Insight:
If your priority is to make your trip economical, you can go ahead with the train route. However, this option will tire you out due to its duration. We don’t recommend this route, especially if you’re travelling with senior citizens or children.
Srinagar is practically the base for most trips to Kashmir. The evening shikara rides on Dal Lake, exploring the famous Mughal Gardens, and most of all, the silence, all of it transports you into a world so unlike the Bandra traffic that you’re used to.
Expert Tips:
Gulmarg is one of those places that’re beautiful no matter what time you visit. But most travellers choose winter to see the snow-covered slopes of Gulmarg. From the famous gondola ride, the snow below catches the winter sun in a way that feels almost unreal. The entire view has the kind of beauty you usually expect only in films.
The gondola experience is divided into three phases. It begins with the first phase from Gulmarg to Kongdoori, then continues to Aparwat Peak in the second phase. The third and final phase is a chairlift that takes travellers to Mary’s Shoulders, one of the area’s most popular skiing spots.
Thrillophilia Insight:
Pahalgam is heaven for all nature lovers. The treks through Aru Valley and Betaab Valley let you experience some of the most beautiful sceneries you’ve ever seen. It’s enough to rival some international spots. You’d be surprised to see how bustling yet peaceful it is.
Expert Tips:
Yusmarg is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Its trails and scenery attract thousands of hiking-loving travellers each year. But if you’re not into hiking, don't worry. Yusmarg is also a great picnic spot. It’s not as crowded as Pahalgam either, so if you like peaceful places, you’ll love Yusmarg.
Thrillophilia Insight:
This is the home of the Thajiwas Glacier. A glacier, formed by Himalayan glacial systems, surrounded by pine forests, meadows and mountains. This is something only Kashmir is capable of offering in all of India. Some popular treks, like the Vishansar Trek and Krishansar Trek, start from Sonamarg.
Expert Tips:
Kashmir is a very well-rounded destination when it comes to the season. Even the rainy season in Kashmir, although it does limit activities, is beautiful. Each area has something different to offer for each season, so we decided to compile it all here for your trip.
This window is perfect for when you don't want to live in Mumbai’s 33–38°C heat. And even better, all the gardens are in near-perfect bloom during this time in Kashmir. And without the snow, most routes are open, so re-routing doesn’t take away half of your day. But it also has its disadvantages. Flights and hotels, during this window, are priced at 20-25% more than usual. To avoid this, you have to book at least 2-3 months in advance.
Expert Tip: To escape the crowds for hikes, rafting and gondola rides, try to get one of their earliest slots. If you’re lucky, you might also get them for cheaper than the midday rates.
If you plan to travel in this window, pack a good amount of layers for your trip. The golden Chinar trees are what draw people during this time. The peak prices are gone, the weather is pleasant enough to do all the activities, and the crowd mostly thins out.
Expert Tip: Keep your outdoor activities for the afternoon, because the mornings are usually foggy and misty. It can be especially dangerous for hikes or treks.
Although it is technically the low season, a great deal of travellers visit during this window for the snow. Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonamarg are genuinely a sight to behold during this time. But it does have its limitations. Due to heavy snowfall, admission in those regions might be limited. This is why you can get 10-15% cheaper rates for both flights and hotels if you choose to travel in this season.
Expert Tip: Cold weather in Kashmir needs a little planning, so pack your layers thoughtfully rather than relying on bulky clothing alone. Waterproof shoes are especially useful in Pahalgam and Gulmarg, where wet ground and snow are common.
Before you choose to travel with us, it is worth understanding why so many travellers trust Thrillophilia for important journeys. We believe in complete transparency because once your trip begins, delivering a smooth and dependable experience becomes our responsibility.
It is safe if you stick within tourist-safe zones. There are very clear signs in all regions that specify the tourist-safe routes. On top of that, Kashmir is heavily guarded by the police and army personnel at all times to ensure civilian safety.
November. It has the lowest average flight fare (INR 7,000 - INR 8,000), according to Kayak’s flight data. Due to low demand in November, hotel prices are also lower.
Pack thermals and fleece for your inner layers and waterproof jackets for outer layers. Ensure that all your accessories (gloves, socks, and shoes) are waterproof. We would advise against packing heavy clothing meant only for fashion.
Gulmarg (2650 m) and Sonamarg (2700 m) are of medium altitudes. Chances of any serious issues are very rare. Make sure you are hydrated and feel energised enough before travelling to the heights. We’d suggest carrying some medication just in case.
For senior citizens, we’d recommend choosing a package with a slower pace. When informed, we design age-sensitive itineraries for seniors. Private cars, less adventurous routes and ground-floor accommodations are some of the elements we include for a senior traveller.
The Kashmir Tulip Festival is Kashmir’s famous springtime flower festival from late March to the middle of April. It's held in the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden. As per our booking team, over 80% of our Mumbai travellers during this time mark this as a trip highlight.
As memorable as they are for your experience, houseboats are unsuitable for very young children. With open water all around you, children would need proper supervision at all times. Make sure to check it with your houseboat operator beforehand.
There’s a huge difference between Mumbai's and Kashmir’s weather. Kashmir’s peak summer temperature is within 30°C, while Mumbai’s peak summer temperature varies between 35 and 40°C.
If you’re going for standard tours, it’s INR 13,000 to INR 30,000 per person and INR 40,000+ per person for luxury trips. This estimation is based on Thrillophilia’s own data and does not include flights because they are an unstable variable.
Post-paid SIMs tend to perform better than pre-paid ones, according to our Kashmir experts. Most hotels have WiFi, so connectivity is not an issue. However, network reception is unstable in deeper regions of Pahalgam and Sonamarg.
