Kashmir Family Tour Cost Guide 2026: Budgeting for the Whole Gang

Kashmir is an excellent destination for families. Kids love the snow, and elders enjoy the tranquil gardens. But traveling as a group requires careful budgeting. At AKTASHAF KASHMIR , we want to help you figure out exactly how much a family trip costs.

1. Average Cost Per Person (6 Days / 5 Nights)

For a standard family trip (staying in decent 3-star hotels with breakfast & dinner), the cost typically ranges between ₹12,000 to ₹18,000 per adult person (excluding flights).

• Budget: ₹10,000 - ₹13,000 per person (Basic hotels, sharing cab).
• Standard: ₹14,000 - ₹18,000 per person (3-star hotels, private Innova).
• Luxury: ₹25,000+ per person (4/5-star hotels).

Note: Per person cost decreases as group size increases because you share the vehicle cost.

2. Costs for Children (Important!)

Most hotels in Kashmir follow this policy:

• Below 5 Years: Free of charge (Complimentary).
• 5 to 12 Years: Chargeable. Usually "Child Without Bed" (CWB) rates apply (approx 25% of adult cost).
• Above 12 Years: Considered an adult. Full "Extra Bed" charges apply.

3. Vehicle Choices for Families

For families, comfort is key.

• Family of 3-4: A sedan (Toyota Etios/Dzire) is sufficient. Cost approx ₹3,000 per day.
• Family of 5-7: You need an Innova or Innova Crysta. Cost approx ₹4,500 per day.
• Group of 10+: A 12-seater Tempo Traveller is the most economical option.

4. Food Budgeting

If you book a MAP Plan (Breakfast + Dinner included), you only need to spend on lunch.

• Lunch Estimate: ₹300 - ₹500 per person per meal at a standard restaurant.
• Snacks: Tea, Maggi points are cheap (₹50-₹100).

5. Example Family Package (4 Adults + 2 Kids)

Duration: 6 Days / 5 Nights
Inclusions: 3-Star Hotels, 2 Rooms + Extra Mattress, Innova Crysta, Breakfast & Dinner, Houseboat Stay.

TOTAL Estimated Cost: ₹65,000 - ₹75,000 (Approx)

This covers the entire family (excluding flights/train). That's roughly ₹12k per person for a premium experience!
