How to reach Kashmir from Panaji
Most Goa travellers fly. Flights connect through Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad, and the quickest options take about 5 hours 55 minutes. A bad connection can stretch that past 10 hours, so choose a layover of about 90 minutes to 3 hours and avoid overnight stops. If you prefer rail, travel from Goa to Jammu or Katra, then take the Vande Bharat to Srinagar. That last leg takes about three hours, less than half the road time of six to seven hours. Still comparing options from across the state? Our page on Kashmir packages for travellers from Goa covers that too.

Best things to do in Kashmir: activities for every stop
Kashmir rewards slow travel. These are the experiences we suggest for each stop, in the order you will meet them.
Srinagar: Dal Lake, gardens and old-city lanes
Start with the lake. Your package includes a free one-hour shikara ride, and the best time to take it is early morning or late afternoon, when the light softens and the traffic eases. Our guide to the shikara ride in Kashmir explains what to expect on the water, from floating markets to lotus beds. Beyond the lake, spend an evening in the Mughal gardens and wander the old city for papier-mâché, shawls and walnut-wood craft.
Sonamarg: glacier views and river walks
Sonamarg means “Meadow of Gold”. The day centres on the Thajiwas Glacier, reached on foot, by pony or by local transport depending on conditions. You can read more in our Thajiwas Glacier guide. Ponies are optional and not included, so agree on the rate before you start.
Gulmarg: Gondola, golf and meadows
Gulmarg sits about 60 km from Srinagar, roughly an hour and a half by car. Take the Gondola for views over the Pir Panjal range, walk the open meadows and look at the high-altitude golf course. Gondola tickets are priced separately, and Phase 2 can close in wind or bad weather. Our Gulmarg Gondola complete guide explains the two phases and how to book ahead.
Pahalgam: valleys, river and quiet corners
Pahalgam is the gentlest stop on the trip. Walk the Lidder River, visit Betaab Valley, Aru Valley and Chandanwari, and spend time in the village market. Local taxi rules apply at some points, which is why those charges sit outside the package. Our Pahalgam travel guide covers places to visit, things to do and travel tips.
Want to do more than sightsee?
If you want to add adventure, we can help you plan rafting, camping, trekking or ATV rides depending on season. See the full list of activities to do in Kashmir and tell us which ones you want. Activities are extra and weather decides what’s possible.
Foods to try in Kashmir
Goans love their food, and Kashmir will not disappoint. Kashmiri cuisine is meat-centred, with rich, slow-cooked flavours, and it uses no coconut-based curries or fresh sea fish. Vegetarian travellers are well looked after, so tell us your preference in advance.
Must-try dishes
- Wazwan: the traditional multi-course feast, usually non-vegetarian and served on a shared platter (trami).
- Rogan josh: lamb curry cooked in Kashmiri chilli and spices.
- Yakhni: a yogurt-based mild lamb curry.
- Dum aloo: whole baby potatoes in a spiced gravy, a good vegetarian pick.
- Haak (collard greens) and nadru yakhni (lotus stem curry): Kashmiri vegetarian staples.
- Kashmiri pulao: fragrant rice with dry fruits and saffron.
- Noon chai (pink tea) and kahwa: the salted pink tea and the saffron-almond green tea, both worth a try.
- Kashmiri breads: girda, lavasa, bakarkhani and sheermal at a local bakery.
- Trout in Pahalgam: a river-fish option for seafood lovers.
Dinner is included in your package, and lunch is on you. This is a good chance to try a local lunch.
Kashmir travel guidelines for Goa travellers
- Carry a government photo ID. You need it for hotel check-in and at security checks.
- Pack layers. The change from Goan heat to Kashmir mornings is big. Bring a warm jacket, thermals in colder months and comfortable shoes.
- Fix pony and local-taxi rates in advance. Ask for the rate list at the point and confirm before you start.
- Keep some cash. Mobile networks and card machines can be unreliable in mountain areas.
- Check your SIM before leaving. Non-J&K prepaid SIM cards have traditionally not worked in Kashmir. Confirm with your provider or carry a postpaid connection.
- Follow your driver’s advice on roads and timing. Weather can close routes at short notice.
- Dress modestly at religious places.
- Ask before photographing people, and avoid photographing security installations.
- Don’t assume alcohol is available. Check with us before you travel.
- Check current travel advisories before booking, and share your itinerary with family.
Time of year changes what you will see, so read our guide to the best time to visit Kashmir before locking your dates. Snow is possible in Gulmarg and other high places in November, but it is not guaranteed.
