Last year, I took my family on a trip to Kashmir, and they were delighted by the experience. It was not just a vacation but a long-waiting desire that I wanted to tick off, and finally, I got a chance during my Diwali vacation.
When you are in charge of a vacation, you ensure that everything fits perfectly in the travel puzzle to give you the perfect picture. However, I could handle everyone’s preferences, meals, and accommodation.
But at What Cost? Stress, monitoring each little detail! Is this not the right way to enjoy a family vacation?
So, I chose an Indian Holiday to plan my family trip, and the way they designed my tour by catering to every na8unaces was just something else. I would love to spill whatever I have faced and how you plan your trip.

Step-by-Step Guide to Planning a Kashmir Family Vacation
1 – Decide Budget
Without setting a clear budget, you might end up overspending. So, deciding how much you’re willing to spend on your trip is essential.
2 – Trip Duration
The second important factor is the trip duration—how long you plan to stay. If you want to explore all the famous attractions, I recommend planning at least a 7-day trip to make the most of your visit.
3 – Transportation
If you are on a budget trip, you can opt for a road or train journey for your Kashmir trip. Choosing a flight would be a better option if you are on a mid-range or luxury trip.
4 – Detailed Itinerary for 7 days
Next, you need to decide what attractions you want to see. For example, I’ll use my 7-day trip to Kashmir as an example.
