Experience the magical charm of Kashmir in this carefully crafted 6-day itinerary that takes you through Srinagar’s timeless lakes and gardens, the alpine beauty of Gulmarg, and the serene meadows of Pahalgam. This journey is a perfect mix of nature, culture, and light adventure. You’ll cruise the calm waters of Dal Lake, stroll through Mughal gardens, ride ponies in lush valleys, and admire snow-covered peaks. A truly refreshing escape into one of India’s most breathtaking regions.
Upon arrival in Srinagar, you will be greeted by our representative and transferred to your houseboat. Later in the afternoon, enjoy a peaceful Shikara ride on Dal Lake, gliding past floating gardens, lotus plantations, vegetable gardens, and charming backwaters through narrow canals. En route, visit local handicraft workshops, known for papier-mâché and wood carving artistry. Return to the houseboat and relax for the night.
After breakfast, embark on a local sightseeing tour of Srinagar. Begin with a visit to the Shankaracharya Temple, perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of the valley. Continue to the stunning Mughal Gardens – Nishat Bagh (Garden of Pleasure), Shalimar Bagh (Garden of Love), and Cheshma Shahi (Royal Spring). These gardens are beautifully landscaped with terraced lawns, marble fountains, and floral beds, all overlooking the emerald Dal Lake. Also visit the sacred Hazratbal Mosque on the banks of the lake. In the evening, enjoy shopping in the local bazaars known for Kashmiri handicrafts and pashmina shawls.
Today, drive to the idyllic hill town of Gulmarg, also known as the “Meadow of Flowers”, located at an altitude of 8,800 feet. Once a summer retreat for the British, Gulmarg is renowned for its scenic beauty, colonial-era charm, and the world’s highest 18-hole golf course. In winter, it transforms into a world-class ski resort. After arrival and check-in, the rest of the day is free to explore this alpine paradise at your own pace.
After breakfast, head towards Pahalgam, the "Valley of Shepherds", via Pampore's saffron fields, a cricket bat factory, and apple orchards. Nestled on the banks of the Lidder River, Pahalgam is a picture-perfect retreat and the base for the Amarnath Yatra and various treks. After check-in, enjoy an optional pony ride (at additional cost) to the lush Baisaran Valley, a vast grassy expanse surrounded by pine trees and hills – often called "Mini Switzerland".
Today after breakfast, explore the scenic gems surrounding Pahalgam. Start with Aru Valley, known for its peaceful ambiance and green meadows. It is also the base camp for treks to Kolahoi Glacier. Continue to Betaab Valley, named after the Bollywood film Betaab, and admired for its stunning surroundings of meadows and snow-capped mountains. Later, visit Chandanwari, the starting point of the Amarnath Yatra. Return to Pahalgam and enjoy the evening exploring the Mall Road or relaxing in the tranquil atmosphere.
After breakfast, check out from the hotel and proceed to Srinagar Airport for your return journey. Depart with a heart full of cherished memories of Kashmir’s beauty and serenity.
