Nestled in the Himalayas, Kashmir is India's crown jewel — a land of snow-capped peaks, shimmering lakes, and lush meadows that have inspired poets and travellers for centuries.
Kashmir Valley stretches across 135 km in the northwestern Himalayas and is bordered by the Pir Panjal range to the south and the Great Himalayas to the north. At an altitude of 1,600 m, Srinagar — the summer capital — sits at the centre of this paradise.
From the serene Dal Lake where shikaras glide at dawn, to the snow-blanketed ski slopes of Gulmarg and the lush meadows of Pahalgam, every corner of Kashmir tells a story of breathtaking natural beauty.
Dal Lake — The jewel of Srinagar — spend a morning on a shikara, visit floating vegetable markets, and stay in a traditional houseboat.
Gulmarg — Asia's highest gondola ride, world-class skiing in winter, and a carpet of wildflowers in summer. Just 56 km from Srinagar.
Pahalgam — The valley of shepherds — base camp for the Amarnath Yatra, with pine forests, the Lidder River, and Betaab Valley all nearby.
Sonamarg — Meadow of gold — a high-altitude alpine valley with glaciers, snow bridges, and the gateway to Ladakh via Zoji La pass.
Shalimar Bagh — The greatest of Mughal gardens, built by Emperor Jahangir. Terraced lawns, chinar trees, and fountains overlooking Dal Lake.
Shankaracharya Temple — Perched 1,000 ft above Srinagar on a hill, this ancient Shiva temple offers panoramic views of the entire valley.
Land at your destination and transfer to your accommodation. Check in, relax, and recover from the journey. In the evening, take a brief orientation walk to soak in the atmosphere of Kashmir.
