Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best things to do in Kashmir?
The most popular Kashmir activities are a shikara ride on Dal Lake, the Gulmarg Gondola cable car, skiing and snowboarding at Gulmarg in winter, river rafting on the Lidder in Pahalgam, paragliding at Gulmarg, trout fishing, and high-altitude treks like the Kashmir Great Lakes. Via Kashmir books all of these at fixed, upfront rates.
How much does the Gulmarg Gondola cost?
The Gulmarg Gondola (Phase 1, to Kongdori) starts from around ₹800 per person. Phase 2, up to Apharwat Peak, costs extra on top of Phase 1 (around ₹1,000 more). Rates are revised periodically by the J&K Cable Car Corporation, so we confirm the current fare when you book.
Is paragliding in Gulmarg safe for beginners?
Yes. Gulmarg paragliding is a tandem flight with a certified, experienced pilot in control the entire time - no flying experience is needed. Via Kashmir only arranges flights with licensed operators.
Can I book Kashmir activities without a full tour package?
Yes. Every activity on this page - shikara rides, the gondola, skiing, rafting, paragliding, treks and more - can be booked on its own at a fixed rate, or added to an existing Kashmir tour package with Via Kashmir.
