Rooted in the Kashmir Valley
A local, women-led travel agency in Srinagar for Kashmir, Ladakh and Jammu trips.
Our Story
When you travel with Jiya Travels, you never arrive as a reservation code — you arrive as our personal guest in Kashmir. Founded in Srinagar, our team was raised amidst the chinar groves, the morning mist of Dal Lake, and the snowline of the Pir Panjal mountains.
We founded Jiya Travels to bridge the gap between large, impersonal booking engines and the real, heartfelt soul of Kashmir. Because we live here year-round, we know which alpine passes are clear, the warmest heritage houseboats on Nigeen Lake, and the exact timing to experience Drung’s frozen cascade in peaceful solitude.
Many guests know us as Jiya Tour & Travels. It is the same team, the same office in Lal Chowk, Srinagar, and the same number: +91 70062 26176.
Jiya Travels is a registered travel agency. Registration No. JKTA00005428, GST No. 01BSOPN8533N1Z7.
“Travel is not just about visiting places — it is about feeling them, living them, and carrying their warmth in your heart forever.”
What We Stand For
The values behind every trip.
Kashmir-Native Roots & Insight
Our planning team lives in Srinagar. We monitor weather, road conditions, Gondola phases, and local permits daily so your itinerary is always safe and optimized.
Verified Stays & Mountain Drivers
Every chauffeur is verified, courteous, and seasoned on high Himalayan curves. Every hotel, luxury cottage, and deluxe houseboat is vetted for hygiene and heating.
Women-Led Warmth & Safety
As a women-owned enterprise, guest safety and comfort are paramount. Families, honeymooners, and solo women travellers receive dedicated care from touchdown to farewell kahwa.
Eco-Conscious, Local Economy Support
We practice low-impact travel that respects Kashmir’s pristine meadows and lakes while directly supporting local pony-wallahs, shikara riders, and heritage artisans.
