Important Notes
Upon arrival at Srinagar International Airport, you’ll be warmly received and escorted to your hotel or houseboat. During the 35-minute drive, enjoy glimpses of city life, crossing the historic Abdullah Bridge and passing through Dal Gate market en route to the Dal Lake. Begin your Kashmir journey with a peaceful one-hour Shikara ride, offering mesmerizing views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. After check-in and a short rest, proceed for local sightseeing including the famed Mughal gardens—Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashmashahi—each reflecting the grandeur of Mughal horticulture set against a backdrop of scenic mountains. After a day immersed in beauty and history, return to your accommodation for a restful overnight stay in Srinagar.
After breakfast, check out and drive to Gulmarg, Kashmir’s renowned "Meadow of Flowers" and a premier destination for winter sports. Nestled amidst pine-covered slopes and expansive meadows, Gulmarg welcomes you with open arms and breathtaking views. Enjoy a thrilling ride on the world’s second-highest cable car—the Gulmarg Gondola—which carries you up to snow-laden slopes with stunning vistas of the Himalayan range. Weather permitting, indulge in skiing or snowboarding, or simply explore the pristine surroundings. In the evening, check in at your hotel in Gulmarg and relax for the night.
Following breakfast, journey toward Pahalgam, a peaceful retreat known for its verdant landscapes and the Lidder River. En route, visit the ancient Awantipora ruins and marvel at the saffron fields that blanket the region. Upon arrival in Pahalgam, you can take optional tours to Aru Valley, Betaab Valley, and Chandanwari using local union cabs (at your own cost), where panoramic views and serene surroundings await. Adventure seekers may enjoy river rafting, trekking, pony rides, or a visit to the Lidder Amusement Park. Later, return to your hotel for a relaxing overnight stay in Pahalgam.
After breakfast, depart from Pahalgam and return to Srinagar. Upon arrival, revisit Srinagar's Mughal marvels—Nishat and Shalimar gardens—nestled along the edge of Dal Lake. Later, ascend to the hilltop Shankaracharya Temple for panoramic views of Srinagar city and Dal Lake. A visit to the revered Hazratbal Shrine adds spiritual depth to your journey. In the evening, explore Lal Chowk, a bustling marketplace offering authentic Kashmiri goods like hand-woven carpets, Pashmina shawls, dry fruits, and traditional jewelry. Conclude your day with dinner and an overnight stay in Srinagar.
After breakfast, set off for a full-day excursion to Sonamarg, known as the “Meadow of Gold.” Surrounded by snow-clad mountains and lush meadows, Sonamarg is one of Kashmir's most picturesque spots. Take a walk along the banks of the Sindh River or enjoy a pony ride to the Thajiwas Glacier (at your own expense), where glistening ice and dramatic peaks create a magical setting. After a scenic and peaceful day, return to Srinagar by evening. Enjoy your final night with a warm dinner and overnight stay in Srinagar.
After a hearty breakfast, check out from your hotel or houseboat. Our representative will provide a punctual transfer to Srinagar Airport for your onward journey, marking the end of a memorable exploration of Kashmir’s finest landscapes and cultural treasures.
Amazing experience of the Taj Mahal - The views were amazing even though we were disappointed that it was cloudy so we couldn’t view the sunset or the sunrise so maybe check your weather report before you... read more book. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took the best pictures. My husband and I were very happy we booked the tour and would definitely recommend to others . Best way to see and learn about the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj. However, be careful with the photographers in the Taj. The pictures taken of us were bad and we had to part with a 100USD. Other than this than left a sour taste, the tour itself and guide were first class ! Ek Number !
