Day-by-day plan

Morning, afternoon and evening structure tuned for groups. Adjust freely in CollabTrip.

  1. Day 1: Arrival, orientation and first group vote

    Start 10:00

    Arrive in Kashmir, keep luggage and check-in simple, then choose one low-friction experience such as viewpoints. Avoid overloading days because altitude, road conditions and weather can change plans.

    Track Kashmir costs by stay, food, local transport, viewpoints, optional extras and buffer.

  2. Day 2: Last highlights, shopping and settlement

    Start 10:00

    Keep the final day in Kashmir flexible for one nearby stop, packing, pending payments and return transfers. Close shared expenses before the group splits.

    Track Kashmir costs by stay, food, local transport, viewpoints, optional extras and buffer.
