Your Kashmir group tour from Malaysia begins the moment you land at Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport, Srinagar. Our team will be waiting with a warm welcome and your name board.

After a comfortable transfer to your hotel or houseboat on Dal Lake, freshen up and settle in. The evening is dedicated to a magical Shikara ride on Dal Lake — gliding past floating gardens of lotus flowers, vegetable markets on water, and the legendary Char Chinar island as the sun dips below the Zabarwan mountains.

Dinner is a traditional Kashmiri Wazwan spread at a reputed halal restaurant — rice, rogan josh, yakhni, and the famous Kashmiri kahwa tea to round off your first unforgettable evening.

Today is full exploration of Srinagar — one of India’s most historically rich cities and the heart of your Kashmir tour package from Malaysia.

Visit the Hazratbal Shrine (a revered Muslim pilgrimage site housing a relic of Prophet Muhammad, PBUH), the Mughal Gardens of Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi, the Shankaracharya Temple Hill (panoramic city views), and the vibrant old-city bazaars of Lal Chowk where you can buy Kashmiri pashmina shawls, saffron, and dried fruits.

Evening prayer time stop at a local mosque. Dinner at a top-rated halal restaurant in Srinagar.

After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (56 km from Srinagar), one of the world’s most scenic ski resorts and a centrepiece of every great Kashmir group tour from Malaysia.

Board the Gulmarg Gondola — one of Asia’s highest cable cars — soaring from 2,650m to Kongdori (Phase 1) and up to 3,747m at Apharwat Peak (Phase 2). The panoramic view of the Himalayan range from the top is simply beyond words.

Activities in Gulmarg include horse riding on lush meadows, sledding, snowball fights (seasonal), and photography of the vast alpine landscape. In winter, skiing packages are available for enthusiastic groups.

Return to Srinagar or stay overnight in Gulmarg for an even more immersive experience.

A 3-hour morning drive through breathtaking saffron fields and apple orchards brings you to Pahalgam, one of Kashmir’s most beloved valleys. This is where Bollywood films are shot and where pilgrims begin the sacred Amarnath Yatra.

Explore Betaab Valley (named after the 1983 Bollywood film shot here), Aru Valley — a lush alpine meadow surrounded by snowy peaks, and Chandanwari — the starting point of the Amarnath pilgrimage. Horse riding along the Lidder River and trout fishing are popular activities.

Pahalgam is peaceful, green, and spiritually uplifting — a contrast to the bustle of Srinagar and an essential element of any Kashmir holiday package from Malaysia.

Sonamarg (meaning “Golden Meadow”) sits at an altitude of 2,800m and is the gateway to the Zojila Pass. The drive from Srinagar to Sonamarg along the Sindh River Valley is one of Kashmir’s most scenic road journeys.

The highlight is the Thajiwas Glacier — a massive tongue of ancient ice accessible by pony or on foot. Standing on a glacier under a deep blue Himalayan sky is a surreal and profound experience that most Malaysian travellers have never had before.

Don’t miss the glacial streams, wildflower meadows, and the chance to see the snowline even in summer. Ideal for groups who love photography and nature walks.

Doodhpathri (“Valley of Milk”) is one of Kashmir’s best-kept secrets, and including it is what separates a great Kashmir group tour from Malaysia from an average one. Located 42 km from Srinagar, this valley sees far fewer tourists than Gulmarg or Pahalgam.

Lush green meadows, streams of milky-white glacial water, dense pine forests, and an almost meditative silence define Doodhpathri. Horse rides across the vast meadow, picnic lunches, and encounters with local Gujjar nomads are among the highlights.

Evening return to Srinagar for overnight at your houseboat or hotel. This evening is ideal for some last-minute shopping in the old bazaars.

Wake up before dawn for a sunrise Shikara ride on Dal Lake — one of the most magical experiences in all of India. Watch the mist rise from the water, the floating vegetable sellers paddle past in their wooden boats, and the Zabarwan hills glow in the morning light.

Spend the morning exploring the famous Floating Market on Dal Lake, where traders sell fresh flowers, vegetables, and handicrafts from their shikaras. Visit the Nehru Memorial Park on an island in the lake.

Afternoon is free for last-minute purchases — Kashmiri carpets, pashmina shawls, saffron, walnut wood carvings, and kesar (saffron) make perfect gifts to bring back to Malaysia.

Evening farewell dinner with your group — a final Wazwan feast and cultural music performance by our team.

After breakfast, your luggage is collected and our team provides a comfortable airport transfer to Srinagar Airport. Our guide will assist you through check-in and final customs formalities.

As you board your flight home from this Kashmir group tour from Malaysia, you will carry memories that last a lifetime — the gondola ride above the clouds, the silence of Doodhpathri, the azan echoing over Dal Lake at sunset, and the warmth of Kashmiri hospitality.

We hope to welcome you back to Kashmir very soon. Khuda Hafiz! 🙏
