After checking in and some rest, begin your Kashmir journey with visits to the famous Mughal Gardens — Nishat Bagh (Garden of Pleasure) offering panoramic views of the Dal Lake, followed by Shalimar Bagh (Garden of Love). Walk amidst terraced flower beds, elegant fountains, and marble pavilions with the backdrop of the snow-capped Himalayas. Also, visit Cheshma Shahi, known as the Royal Spring.

After breakfast, drive to the picturesque town of Gulmarg, also known as the "Meadow of Flowers", situated at an altitude of 8,800 ft.

Today is free for you to explore Gulmarg on your own. You can enjoy activities such as pony rides, snow sports (seasonal), or take the iconic Gondola Ride (cable car), Asia’s highest and longest ropeway.
