Day Wise Itinerary
Upon arrival in Srinagar, you will be greeted and transferred to begin your tour. Your first introduction to Kashmir's beauty is through its famous Mughal Gardens. You will visit the exquisite Shalimar Bagh (Abode of Love) and Nishat Bagh (Abode of Pleasure), marveling at their Persian-style terraces, flowing fountains, and vibrant flowerbeds, all perfectly framed by the Dal Lake and distant mountains. The day concludes with a check-in at your hotel and a welcome dinner.
Day 2 :
Srinagar to Picturesque Pahalgam
After breakfast, depart for the enchanting valley of Pahalgam, known as the 'Valley of Shepherds'. The scenic drive includes stops at saffron fields and cricket bat factories. In Pahalgam, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of this Himalayan resort town. You can opt for a pony ride to the stunning Baisaran Valley, often called 'Mini Switzerland,' or simply relax by the gushing Lidder River, soaking in the tranquil atmosphere before returning to Srinagar for the night.
Today, embark on a full-day excursion to Sonmarg, a picturesque valley whose name translates to 'Meadow of Gold'. Situated at a high altitude, it serves as the gateway to Ladakh. The landscape is dominated by the mighty Sindh River and towering glaciers. For an adventurous experience, you can take a pony ride to the Thajwas Glacier to play in the snow (at your own cost). The raw, untouched beauty of Sonmarg is a highlight of the trip before you drive back to Srinagar.
After breakfast, drive to the world-famous meadow of Gulmarg. The journey itself is incredibly scenic. In Gulmarg, enjoy a ride on the Gondola cable car (Phase 1 complimentary), which offers staggering views of the surrounding peaks. You can enjoy horseback riding, photography, or simply stroll through the flower-strewn meadows. Later, return to Srinagar for a truly unique experience: checking into a traditional houseboat on Dal Lake for an unforgettable night.
Day 5 :
Departure from Srinagar
Enjoy one final breakfast amidst the tranquility of the lake or your hotel. Afterwards, you will be transferred to the Srinagar airport for your departure, carrying with you a treasure trove of sweet memories from the misty valleys of Kashmir.
