Tourism that the valley actually keeps

Kashmiriyat is the valley’s old ethic of hospitality, tolerance and care. We turned it into business rules: fair wages, fair prices, and money that stays home.

Fair, published pay

Hosts and guides set their own prices and keep the large majority. We earn a clear, flat service fee, printed on every booking.

Leave-it-better travel

Small group sizes, off-peak routing away from crowded selfie-points, and a clean-up fund for Dal Lake and trek trails.

Craft, kept alive

We send travellers straight to weavers, woodcarvers and saffron growers: heritage skills funded by visits, not undercut by them.

The trip people wished they’d had the first time

“No haggling, no surprise charges. The price they quoted in March was the price we paid. The Wazwan night alone was worth the trip.”

“We’re Kashmiri-origin, raised in Delhi. They took us to my grandmother’s village and the weaver she once knew. Not a tour, a homecoming.”
