This package is perfect for families! We covered Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam at a relaxed pace, so even my parents could enjoy without feeling tired. The free Dal Lake ride was the highlight of the trip, especially with the floating markets and snow-capped mountains in the background. Our driver was very polite and guided us throughout. Highly recommended.
