Day 8
Departure
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the Jammu railway station for departure. This concludes your holiday in Kashmir.
It is possible, but we suggest not taking a night halt in Sonamarg because it might lead to an increase in the number of days or decrease in the attractions covered.
No, due to the local government’s transport rules the sightseeing cost is not included in the package cost. Pony rides, Gondola rides, water sports, and other activities are also charged extra. On request, the agent can provide an idea of this cost as well.
You can expect frequent power cuts on the houseboats. Also, the housekeeping is not available at all hours. Since the food has to be brought from outside, timings of all meals are also fixed to prevent the food from getting cold.
The Gondola ride in Gulmarg, water sports at Ganderbal in Sonamarg, and river rafting in the Lidder River at Pahalgam are the optional tours that must not be missed on this trip.
