April to June for gardens; September to October for autumn; winter for snow ambience but colder days
Dal Lake houseboats for experience; Boulevard Road for lake access
Dal Lake shikara and Mughal Gardens
Mughal gardens are best done as a half-day cluster.
Groups should pre-agree on houseboat vs hotel comfort expectations.
Use the seed per-person bands as a starting point, then update with live stay, transport and activity prices before collecting money.
Split shared stays, cabs and group activities equally. Keep personal shopping, upgrades and optional experiences separate.
Agree on stay budget and local transport style first, because these usually create the biggest variance for groups.
Start a shared board for Srinagar — vote on dates, split costs and keep everyone on the same page.
