Today we have planned to answer a few queries one has while they plan a trip to Kashmir:
- How much does a trip to Kashmir cost: Our personal experience says that 7 days are pretty enough to cover the trip to Kashmir. For a 7 nights and 6 days trip one would have to spend around 19,000/- approx and a trip of two people would cost somewhere around 55,000/-. Depending on the accommodations, sightseeing, and other stuff that comes inclusive the charges might change more or less depending on the tour guide and if you travel for less days the cost can decrease a lot than how much you’ll be spending for a 6 days trip but wouldn’t help you cover all the places in Kashmir.
