Born from Love for Kashmir
Travel Nerve Kashmir was founded in 2025 by Aaqib Yatoo, a native of Srinagar who wanted the world to discover what he’d always known — that Kashmir is the most beautiful place on Earth. When we started, we were a small local operation, but we grew into a full-service company offering curated experiences across Kashmir and Ladakh. We’ve hosted guests from over 60 countries, from solo backpackers to honeymoon couples and large family groups. Our philosophy is simple: Treat every guest like a dear friend visiting home. We don’t just show you the sights — we share our home with you.
Along the way, Aamir Sonaullah joined as co-founder, and together they built a team of local guides, drivers and trip planners who know every road, valley and viewpoint first-hand. Because Travel Nerve Kashmir is based in Srinagar, we can answer the questions that matter before you book: which season suits your plans, how long a drive really takes, and which offbeat spots are worth the detour. Our Ultimate Kashmir Travel Guide shares that same local knowledge with every traveler, whether they book with us or not.
Travel Nerve Kashmir is still a young company, and we are proud of that. Every guest is a chance to earn a recommendation, so we put in the effort that a growing local business has to.

A Local Kashmir Tour Operator, Start to Finish

Where We Take You
Kashmir and Ladakh are very different journeys, and Travel Nerve Kashmir knows both well. Browse every place we cover in our destination guides, and always check the official Jammu and Kashmir Tourism and Ladakh Tourism websites for current travel information.
Kashmir Classics
The meadows of Gulmarg, the river valleys of Pahalgam, the high-mountain scenery of Sonamarg and the calm of Dal Lake in Srinagar form the heart of most first trips.
Offbeat Kashmir
Gurez Valley, Aru Valley, Doodhpathri and Dachigam National Park reward travelers who want fewer crowds. Start with our guide to offbeat places in Kashmir.
Ladakh
Nubra Valley and Khardung La anchor our Ladakh trips, and the Srinagar to Leh road trip is a classic way to link the two regions.
Kashmir Through the Seasons
One of the most useful things Travel Nerve Kashmir can do is help you choose when to go. Each season shows a different side of the valley, so the best time depends on what you want to see.
Summer
Green meadows, cool mountain air and open roads, which also suits a Ladakh add-on.
Travelers from Across India and Around the World
Most Travel Nerve Kashmir guests fly in from Indian cities, so we run dedicated routes for travelers from Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune, along with a plan for groups travelling from Gujarat. Each plan is built around the flights those travelers actually take.
International visitors are just as welcome. Our guide for foreign tourists in Kashmir and our notes on Ladakh permits for foreign nationals explain the paperwork in plain language. Because rules change, we always point you to the official sources before you travel.
Winter is drawing more visitors from India and overseas every year. To pick the right month, read Kashmir in winter and our guide to Chillai Kalan, the coldest 40 days of the year.

Travel That Gives Back to Kashmir
Kashmir’s lakes, meadows and mountain villages are fragile, and the families who live there depend on visitors who respect them. Travel Nerve Kashmir promises to plan trips that keep money in local hands, from guides and drivers to family-run guesthouses and restaurants.
We also ask our guests to do their part. Carry a reusable water bottle, take your rubbish back with you, dress modestly at shrines and mosques, and ask before photographing local people. These small habits protect the places you came to see, and they make every welcome warmer.
If you want to try local flavours as well, our guide to Kashmiri cuisine and 15 dishes you must try is a good place to begin. Travel Nerve Kashmir is happy to add a home-style meal or a village walk to any itinerary.
Meet Our People
Each team member brings years of local expertise, passion, and genuine warmth to every guest interaction.
Behind the faces below is a wider Travel Nerve Kashmir crew of 23+ local guides, drivers and trip planners. Together, they make sure the person who plans your trip is the same team that looks after you on the ground.
