Do Malaysians need a visa for India?

Yes. Malaysian passport holders apply for an India e-Visa online before departure. The tourist e-Visa covers tourism and short visits and is valid for 30 days from entry. The application is on the official India e-Visa portal, and Dhesu walks you through it when you book. Visa fees are not included in the package price.

Which airport does this trip use?

This is a land-only package: hotels, transfers, tours and guide are included, but international flights are not. Most Malaysian travellers fly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport, Srinagar (SXR). We can recommend suitable flights and timings on request.

What is the best time to visit Kashmir?

Kashmir is beautiful year-round. April to June brings tulips, gardens and pleasant weather. July to September is lush and green. October to November offers golden autumn colours. December to February brings snow, ideal for Gulmarg skiing. Each season has its own charm.

Is the houseboat stay comfortable?

Yes. Dal Lake houseboats range from deluxe to luxury, with private rooms, attached bathrooms, dining areas and sundecks. They offer a comfortable and uniquely Kashmiri stay, with traditional hospitality and lake views.

Can I add Gulmarg or Pahalgam?

Yes. This package includes a day excursion to Gulmarg or Pahalgam. For more time in the mountains, our 5, 6 and 7 day Kashmir packages include overnight stays in these resorts and more.
