What a Kashmir trip really costs
This guide breaks down a 5 nights / 6 days Kashmir trip into flights, stay, food, transport and activities, per person with two travellers sharing a room. It is written for travellers across India, not for one departure city, so flight costs are shown as a range from a major metro.
All numbers are indicative planning figures in rupees. They are not quotes, and they change with season, hotel choice and how early you book. The best way to turn them into real numbers is to compare actual quotes for your dates.

How season changes the cost of Kashmir
April to June and September to October are the high seasons, with May and June the most expensive. Winter (December to February) is popular for snow and Gulmarg, and prices rise around Christmas and New Year.
| When | Conditions | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Mar – Apr | Tulip season in Srinagar, cool, 10–20°C | Excellent; the tulip garden usually opens around late March to April |
| May – Jun | Warm, clear, 18–28°C | Peak tourist season; book well ahead |
| Jul – Aug | Warm with some rain | Green meadows and lower crowds in some areas; check Amarnath Yatra dates for crowding |
| Sep – Oct | Crisp, golden chinar leaves | Very good, fewer crowds |
| Dec – Feb | Cold; snow at Gulmarg and Pahalgam | Best for skiing and the snow experience; road and flight delays are possible |
How to spend less on Kashmir
- Travel in September–October for good weather and fewer crowds.
