Quick answer
Srinagar tour packages on Via Kashmir start at ₹8,193 per person, and 42 live itineraries include Srinagar. Plan at least 2 nights in the city: one day for a Dal Lake shikara ride and the Mughal Gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Chashme Shahi), one for the old city, Hazratbal and Shankaracharya hill, ideally with a night on a houseboat. Hotels in Srinagar start at ₹1,259 a night.
Srinagar is the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir and the base for almost every Kashmir holiday: the airport (SXR) is here, the Jhelum runs through the old city, and Dal and Nigeen lakes sit on its edge. Gulmarg (50 km), Sonamarg (80 km) and Pahalgam (about 90 km) are all day trips or short drives away, so most packages use Srinagar as the hub.

What a Srinagar package covers
Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake
A shikara ride on Dal Lake is the defining Srinagar experience - past houseboats, the Char Chinar island and, early in the morning, the floating vegetable market. Nigeen Lake, joined to Dal, is quieter and a favourite for houseboat stays.
The Mughal Gardens
Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh step down the hillside to the lake; Chashme Shahi is built around a spring, and Pari Mahal looks down over the city. The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden opens for a few weeks around late March and April.
Old Srinagar
The Jamia Masjid, the Khanqah-e-Moula shrine on the Jhelum, Hazratbal on the far shore of Dal, and the craft lanes where papier-mache, walnut-wood carving and pashmina are made. Shankaracharya hill gives the best view over the city and lake.
