Who we are

Blooming Valley Tour and Travel is a Kashmiri travel company based in Kangan, in Ganderbal district. Our office is near the SDM Office on the Srinagar to Sonamarg road, which puts the mountains most visitors drive two hours to see right on our doorstep.

We plan trips only within Kashmir, and that is a deliberate choice. Covering one region well means we know hotels by their rooms rather than their brochures, we know which drivers stay calm on mountain roads, and we know what a valley looks like in the week you plan to arrive.

Most of our work is simple. We get families, couples and groups of friends around the valley comfortably and at a fair price, with someone local answering the phone whenever they need help.

What we hold ourselves to

Honest prices

One clear quote with everything listed. If something is not included, like pony rides or Gondola tickets, we say so upfront and share the current rates.

Local people, local money

We work with Kashmiri drivers, houseboat owners, guides and homestays, so what you spend on your holiday stays in the valley.

Plans that can change

Mountain weather does what it likes. If a road closes or snow arrives early, we rework the plan quickly and keep you informed.

What we can arrange

Book a full package or just the pieces you need. Plenty of guests come to us only for a cab and a good houseboat.

How planning a trip with us works

Four steps, usually done within a day or two. You talk to the same person from the first message to the airport drop.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the basics

    Dates, number of people, a rough budget and anything you already have in mind. WhatsApp is quickest.

  2. Step 2

    Get a draft plan

    We send a day-by-day itinerary with hotel options and one clear price, with nothing added at the end.

  3. Step 3

    Adjust and confirm

    Change whatever you like. Once it feels right, an advance payment confirms the hotels and the cab.

  4. Step 4

    Travel with us

    We meet you at Srinagar airport and stay on call every day until we drop you back.
