Many couples who come to Kashmir for an anniversary first came here on their honeymoon, or always meant to. An anniversary trip is usually more relaxed and more comfortable than a honeymoon: better rooms, fewer hotel changes and time to sit by the lake. This guide sets out the hotels that suit an anniversary, the surprises a hotel can arrange, a sample plan and today's prices.
What makes a good Kashmir anniversary trip package
- ✓A special room: a Dal Lake view in Srinagar, a riverside room in Pahalgam or a heritage hotel.
- ✓One houseboat night on Dal or Nigeen lake, with dinner on board.
- ✓A private car and driver for the whole trip, so you set the pace.
- ✓One quiet surprise on the day, arranged through the hotel.
Hotels for an anniversary in Kashmir
The Lalit Grand Palace in Srinagar is the former palace of the Maharaja of Kashmir, set in large lawns facing Dal Lake below the Zabarwan hills, and is the most-asked-for anniversary stay. Lake-view hotels on the Boulevard and houseboats on Nigeen give a quieter setting. In Pahalgam, choose a room facing the Lidder; in Gulmarg, a room with a view of the meadow. Compare luxury hotels in Kashmir, 5-star hotels in Srinagar and luxury houseboats.

Surprises the hotel can arrange
Most hotels and houseboats can arrange a cake, a decorated room or a candlelit dinner for a charge, and shikara owners can add flowers for an evening ride. We ask the hotel on your behalf, confirm the price and add it to the same quote, so nothing is a guess on the day. Tell us early if you want something specific, like a dinner on the houseboat deck.
