Srinagar-based travel team for Kashmir, Ladakh and Jammu
Kashmir, planned by people who live here.
Houseboats on Dal Lake, snow at Gulmarg, a darshan at Vaishno Devi. We book the hotels and the cab, and plan each day of your trip from our office in Srinagar.

Our houseboat on Dal Lake was spotless and the driver waited patiently at every stop. The team changed our Gulmarg day when snow closed the road, no extra charge.
Pahalgam and Sonamarg in six relaxed days. Everything we were promised on WhatsApp was exactly what we got. Would book again.
Booking for nine people is usually chaos. Royal Saffari sorted hotels, a tempo traveller and a shikara ride in one evening.
Our driver knew every stop between Leh and Pangong. Oxygen cylinder in the car, warm hotels, zero stress about the altitude.
As a woman travelling alone I wanted someone local I could call. They checked in every evening and the houseboat family was lovely.
About us
We live in Kashmir, and we plan your trip from here
Royal Saffari is a Srinagar travel company. We plan holidays and yatras across Kashmir, Ladakh, Jammu and Katra, and we book the houseboats, hotels and cabs ourselves.
Our drivers and planners grew up on these roads. When a pass closes or the weather turns, they change your plan the same day.
