Frequently Asked Questions
Can we arrive by train instead of flight?
Yes — Srinagar Railway Station (SINA) pickups are available. We’ll arrange station‑to‑hotel transfer.
Is a houseboat night included?
Not by default. You can swap a Srinagar night for a Deluxe houseboat on Dal/Nigeen (recommended add‑on).
Why are union cabs mandatory in Pahalgam/Sonamarg?
Local regulations reserve those sectors for union vehicles/ponies/ATVs; outstation cabs can’t operate them.
What vehicle do we get?
Private AC cab — sedan for 1–3 guests; MUV/SUV for 4–6. Child seats available on request.
