Highlights of Kashmir Tour Packages from Kochi: The Mughal Gardens

No Kashmir vacation package is complete without a visit to the breathtaking Mughal Gardens in Srinagar. These are not just gardens; they are a living testament to love, art, and impeccable symmetry, built by the Mughal emperors who compared Kashmir to heaven. As part of your Kochi to Kashmir tour package, you’ll explore the famous trio: Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. Walking through these terraced gardens, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant flowerbeds, ancient chinar trees, and the gentle sound of flowing water from intricate fountains and cascades. It’s a sensory delight that offers a peaceful respite and countless photo opportunities. At My Yathra, we ensure you visit during the best hours to avoid the crowds and truly appreciate the grandeur. It’s a beautiful, serene start to your holiday, offering a stark and beautiful contrast to the coastal landscapes of Kochi.

Shalimar Bagh

Crafted by Emperor Jahangir for his beloved wife, Nur Jahan, Shalimar Bagh is the crown jewel of the Mughal Gardens and a cornerstone of our Kashmir packages from Kochi. The name itself translates to ‘Abode of Love,’ and you’ll feel that enchanting romance the moment you step inside. This magnificent garden is a masterpiece of Persian design, built over three terraces each with a distinct purpose—the outer garden for the public, the middle for the emperor’s guests, and the innermost, the most beautiful, reserved for the royal ladies. As you stroll along the central water channel, lined with smooth walkways and vibrant flowerbeds, you’ll be captivated by the sight of the snow-capped peaks framing the entire scene. We at My Yathra always recommend taking a moment to simply sit on one of the ancient stone benches and absorb the history and beauty. It’s a peaceful, elegant experience that connects you to Kashmir’s royal past, making it a perfect and serene highlight of your journey from Kerala.

Nishat Bagh

Just a short distance from Shalimar lies Nishat Bagh, the ‘Garden of Joy.’ As the largest of the Mughal Gardens, it offers a truly expansive and awe-inspiring experience that we proudly include in our Kashmir tour packages from Kochi. Built by Asaf Khan, the brother of Nur Jahan, this garden boasts twelve terraces representing the twelve signs of the zodiac, each offering a spectacular and unique view of Dal Lake and the Pir Panjal mountain range. The vibe here is slightly different from Shalimar; it feels grander and more open, with a powerful sense of liberty and joy that lives up to its name. The sight of the Zabarwan Mountains forming a perfect backdrop is simply unforgettable. For our travellers from Kerala, who appreciate lush, green landscapes, Nishat Bagh is an absolute paradise. My Yathra ensures you have ample time to explore every level, capture stunning photographs, and perhaps even enjoy a quiet moment feeling the cool breeze from the lake. It’s a powerful testament to nature’s beauty enhanced by human artistry.

The Valley of Pahalgam

Get ready to be mesmerized, because your journey with our Kashmir vacation packages now takes you to the breathtaking Valley of Pahalgam. Often called the ‘Valley of Shepherds,’ Pahalgam is a serene paradise nestled at the confluence of the Lidder River and Sheshnag Lake. For travellers from Kochi, this is where the Himalayan magic truly unfolds. Imagine vast, lush meadows surrounded by dense pine forests, with snow-capped peaks standing guard in the distance. The air here is incredibly fresh and crisp, a delightful change that invigorates every sense. A major highlight and a must-do activity we include is a peaceful stroll along the Lidder River or even a gentle pony ride into the untouched valleys like Betaab Valley. Pahalgam is also the traditional starting point for the sacred Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage. At My Yathra, we craft your itinerary to give you enough time to truly unwind here, to soak in the tranquillity, and to create those picture-perfect memories against a backdrop of pure, unadulterated nature. It’s an absolute essential in any Kashmir package from Kochi.

Baisaran Valley

Often referred to as the ‘Mini Switzerland’ of Kashmir, Baisaran Valley is a breathtakingly beautiful meadow that feels like it’s been lifted straight from a postcard. This is one of those places in our Kashmir tour packages from Kochi that will simply leave you speechless. Imagine a vast, rolling green carpet surrounded by thick pine forests, with the mighty, snow-dusted Himalayas forming a dramatic backdrop. The journey to Baisaran itself is an adventure—a thrilling pony ride through the woods from Pahalgam that builds anticipation for the stunning vista that awaits. Once you arrive, the sheer tranquillity and scale of the place is awe-inspiring. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic, for photography, or simply to sit and marvel at nature’s grandeur. For our guests from Kerala, the cool mountain air and the panoramic views offer a delightful and refreshing contrast to the coastal climate back home. My Yathra includes this gem in our itineraries because we believe it encapsulates the raw, untouched beauty that makes a trip to Kashmir so incredibly special and unforgettable.

Sonmarg

Brace yourself for the sheer grandeur of Sonmarg, the ‘Meadow of Gold,’ a destination that truly lives up to its majestic name and is a crowning jewel in our Kochi to Kashmir tour packages. As your vehicle ascends towards this high-altitude paradise, the landscape transforms, revealing vistas of dramatic, rugged mountains and glaciers that will take your breath away. Sonmarg serves as the gateway to the legendary Ladakh region and is an adventure lover’s dream. The highlight here is undoubtedly the Thajwas Glacier, a massive river of ice that is both awe-inspiring and accessible. The journey to the glacier on a local pony through pristine valleys and alongside gushing streams is an experience in itself, offering unparalleled views at every turn. For travellers from Kochi, the cool climate and the opportunity to witness and even touch snow (depending on the season) is an exhilarating prospect. At My Yathra, we ensure a safe and well-organized visit, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the powerful, raw beauty of the Himalayas. It’s an absolute must-see on any Kashmir vacation package.

Thajwas Glacier

Your adventure in Sonmarg reaches its peak with a visit to the magnificent Thajwas Glacier, a sprawling expanse of ice and snow that is one of the most accessible glaciers in Kashmir. This is a definitive, can’t-miss experience in our Kashmir packages from Kochi, especially for those who dream of witnessing a winter wonderland. The journey to the glacier is half the fun—a scenic and enjoyable pony ride through rocky trails and past gurgling streams, with breathtaking mountain views accompanying you all the way. When you arrive, you’re greeted by a stunning white landscape that feels both powerful and serene. You can walk on the permafrost, feel the crisp, thin air, and if you’re visiting in the warmer months, you might even see vibrant wildflowers peeking through at the edges. For our guests from Kerala, this is often the highlight of their trip—a chance to play in the snow, build a snowman, and capture incredible photographs against a pristine glacial backdrop. My Yathra coordinates with expert local guides to ensure your visit is not only memorable but also completely safe, making this natural marvel a comfortable and joyous part of your holiday.

The Meadow of Gulmarg

Prepare to be utterly captivated by Gulmarg, the ‘Meadow of Flowers,’ a world-famous destination that is the heart and soul of many of our best-selling Kashmir tour packages from Kochi. In the summer, this vast alpine meadow is a vibrant carpet of wildflowers, and in the winter, it transforms into a premier ski resort with some of the best powder snow in the world. But no matter when you visit, the crown jewel of any visit here is the iconic Gulmarg Gondola. This cable car ride is one of the highest in the world and offers a two-stage journey that takes you from the lush green meadows up to the majestic, snow-clad peaks of Kongdoori and Apharwat. The panoramic views from above are simply staggering—a 360-degree vista of the entire Kashmir Valley and the Pir Panjal range that will stay with you forever. For our travellers, this is more than just a ride; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My Yathra ensures we secure your Gondola tickets in advance, avoiding long queues and guaranteeing you don’t miss this unparalleled adventure on your Kashmir vacation.

The Gondola Cable Car Experience

The Gulmarg Gondola isn’t just a mode of transport; it’s the flagship experience of any trip to Kashmir and the absolute highlight of our Kashmir vacation packages. As one of the highest cable cars in the world, this engineering marvel offers a breathtaking two-stage ascent that you simply won’t find anywhere else. The first phase glides you up to Kongdoori Mountain, offering stunning views of the Gulmarg meadow below. But the real magic happens on the second phase, which climbs to Apharwat Peak, soaring to an astonishing height of over 13,000 feet. The vista from the top is nothing short of phenomenal—a sweeping, uninterrupted panorama of snow-capped peaks, including the mighty Nanga Parbat on a clear day. In winter, it’s a gateway to world-class skiing and snowboarding. In summer, it’s a chance to walk on lingering snowfields and marvel at the dramatic landscape. At My Yathra, we pride ourselves on streamlining this must-do activity. We handle the ticket bookings for you, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience so you can focus entirely on the awe-inspiring views. It’s the quintessential Kashmir experience, perfectly packaged for you.

A Traditional Houseboat Stay on Dal Lake

No Kashmir package from Kochi is truly complete without an unforgettable night spent on a traditional houseboat on the iconic Dal Lake. This is more than just accommodation; it’s a cherished cultural experience and the soul of Srinagar. Imagine your own beautifully carved wooden houseboat, adorned with intricate motifs and furnished with vintage charm, gently floating on the placid waters. You’ll wake up to the soft lapping of water against the hull and the stunning view of mist-shrouded mountains at dawn. The day begins with a fresh Kahwa tea served on your deck, followed by a serene Shikara ride through vibrant floating gardens and past bustling local markets. In the evening, savor a authentic multi-course Wazwan meal prepared with love by your personal houseboat chef. For travelers from Kerala, who have a deep appreciation for unique water-based stays, this offers a beautiful parallel to your backwaters, yet with a uniquely Himalayan character. At My Yathra, we carefully select houseboats that offer modern comforts while preserving this timeless tradition, ensuring your stay is both magical and comfortable.
