Questions about this trip

Is the photoshoot with a professional photographer?

The shoot is with a local shikara photographer who supplies the traditional pheran and jewellery and shares edited photos. If you bring your own photographer, we arrange just the dress and the shikara.

When is the best light in Kashmir?

Early morning and the hour before sunset. Autumn (October to November) gives golden chinars, and winter gives snow and clear blue skies.

Can we fly a drone?

Drones need prior permission in Jammu and Kashmir and are restricted near the airport and sensitive areas. We do not arrange drone permits, so plan without one unless you hold permission.

How much does this 6N7D Kashmir package cost?

₹23,970 per person for two adults sharing a room, including GST. The price covers hotels, breakfast and dinner, the private car, airport transfers and everything listed under inclusions. Flights are not included.

Is the price fixed for my dates?

This is our standard price for most dates. Peak weeks (Christmas to New Year, Eid and some long weekends) can cost more; we confirm the final price for your dates before you pay.
