We are Himalayan storytellers
Asgari Tour & Travels is a Srinagar-based boutique travel company specializing in curated luxury tours across Kashmir and Ladakh. With over 15 years of local expertise, we craft authentic, hassle-free Himalayan journeys - from houseboat stays to high-altitude expeditions.
From a Srinagar houseboat to 15,000+ travellers
Asgari Tour & Travels began in 2009 with a single houseboat on Dal Lake and a simple belief: that the truest way to experience Kashmir & Ladakh is through the people who call these mountains home.
Fifteen years on, we've grown into a 30-person team of Srinagar and Leh-based travel designers, drivers, guides, and hospitality partners - but the spirit hasn't changed. Every itinerary is still hand-crafted around the traveller, and every guest is still welcomed like family.
We've guided over 15,000 travellers across the Pir Panjal, Zanskar and Karakoram ranges - and earned a 4.9★ rating on Google for keeping our promises: fair prices, honest advice, and journeys that linger in memory long after the trip ends.
To open the Himalayas to travellers in a way that respects the land, the culture, and the people who call it home.

Don't just take our word for it
“Authentic cultural experience”
The Kashmir Cultural & Craft Trail was exactly what I wanted - not the typical tourist circuit. Watching artisans make paper-mâché, the saffron harvest, the Wazwan cooking class - these are experiences you can't get elsewhere. Asgari understands 'slow travel'.
“Dream honeymoon”
The Kashmir honeymoon package was beyond our dreams. Houseboat with candle-lit dinner, private shikara at sunset, snow at Gulmarg - every moment was magical. Asgari thought of details we didn't even know we wanted. Thank you for the perfect start to our life together!
“Solo female traveller - felt safe”
As a solo female traveller from London, I was nervous about Kashmir. But Asgari's team was incredibly professional and made me feel safe throughout. The houseboat was magical, the food was amazing, and my guide Riyaz was like a protective older brother. Cannot recommend enough.
Let's plan your Himalayan story
Whether it's a honeymoon on Dal Lake or a Khardung La expedition, we'd love to craft it with you.
