Often called ‘Paradise on Earth’, Kashmir is a Himalayan valley of mirror-still lakes, snow-dusted peaks, saffron fields and centuries-old Mughal gardens. From wooden shikaras drifting on Dal Lake to the alpine meadows of Gulmarg, Sonamarg and Pahalgam, every turn reveals a postcard view.
The pace is gentle, the air is crisp and clean, and the warmth of Kashmiri hospitality — kahwa tea, hand-woven pashminas and home-cooked Wazwan — makes you feel at home from the very first day.
Welcome to Srinagar. Our representative will meet you at the airport and assist you through your transfer to the hotel. After refreshing, set out to explore the famed Mughal gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh and Cheshma Shahi — followed by the hilltop Shankaracharya Temple and the world-famous Tulip Garden.
Spend time admiring acres of exotic blooms along the picturesque Dal Lake, framed by the Zabarwan mountain ranges. Stroll along the boulevard and enjoy a relaxed evening. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel or houseboat.
After breakfast, drive to Sonamarg — the 'Meadow of Gold' — along the scenic Sindh valley. En route, pause for photographs of alpine meadows, glacial streams and pine-clad slopes.
Spend the day at leisure amid the meadows and mountain vistas, with optional add-ons like a pony ride to Thajiwas Glacier or a visit to the Fisheries Farm point. Return to Srinagar by evening. Dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg — the 'Meadow of Flowers' — one of the most beautiful hill stations in the Himalayas. Enjoy sweeping views of pine forests, rolling meadows and snow-capped peaks.
Optional experiences include the Gulmarg Gondola cable car and a pony ride to Khilanmarg. Return to Srinagar in the evening. Dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out and drive to Pahalgam — the 'Valley of Shepherds' — passing saffron fields at Pampore and cricket-bat factories along the way.
On arrival, check into your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure by the Lidder River, or take a gentle walk through the pine woods. Dinner and overnight stay in Pahalgam.
After breakfast, set off on the Pahalgam inner-circuit tour covering Aru Valley, Betaab Valley and Chandanwari (by local cab, at additional cost). Enjoy the alpine landscapes and gushing streams before returning to Pahalgam.
Later, drive back to Srinagar and enjoy a 1-hour shikara ride on Dal Lake as the evening light softens over the water. Dinner and overnight stay in Srinagar.
After breakfast, check out and transfer to Srinagar Airport for your onward journey — carrying home the calm of Dal Lake, the crisp mountain air and the warmth of Kashmiri hospitality.
