Kashmir Delight

Day 1: Arrival in Srinagar – Local Sightseeing Begins
Upon your arrival at Srinagar Airport, our representative will receive you warmly and assist you with your transfer to the hotel. After a short refreshment break, your journey into Kashmir’s natural beauty begins with a half-day sightseeing tour of Srinagar. You'll visit the world-famous Mughal Gardens — Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Garden, Chashme Shahi, and the historic Pari Mahal, all set against the majestic Zabarwan Hills. Later, visit the revered Shankaracharya Temple perched atop a hill, offering panoramic views of Srinagar city. End the day with a serene 1-hour Shikara ride on the iconic Dal Lake, floating past traditional houseboats and local vendors. Overnight stay at your hotel in Srinagar.

Day 2: Excursion to Gulmarg
After breakfast, set off for a full-day excursion to Gulmarg, often referred to as the “Meadow of Flowers”. The 2-hour scenic drive brings you to one of India’s most famous ski destinations, surrounded by pine forests and snow-capped peaks. You’ll enjoy the Gondola ride up to Phase 1, which is included in your package — a breathtaking cable car experience that takes you closer to the mountains. Spend the afternoon at leisure: explore the lush meadows, enjoy a snow activity (on direct payment), or simply soak in the views. Return to Srinagar by evening for an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 3: Pahalgam – The Valley of Shepherds
Enjoy an early breakfast before heading out to Pahalgam, a picturesque drive of around 2.5 to 3 hours. Known for its vast meadows, pine forests, and the flowing Lidder River, Pahalgam is a nature lover’s paradise. This package includes a dedicated Pahalgam union cab, allowing you to visit key spots like Betaab Valley, Chandanwari, and Aru Valley comfortably (subject to road and weather conditions). Return to Srinagar by evening and relax at your hotel.

Day 4: Sonamarg – The Golden Meadow
Post breakfast, set off for a scenic journey to Sonamarg, located in the Sindh Valley and renowned for its alpine meadows and glacier views. The name Sonamarg means “Meadow of Gold,” and it lives up to it with dazzling fields of wildflowers and snow-kissed mountains. You may choose to go for horse riding to Thajiwas Glacier or enjoy sledging on snow (at direct payment). After soaking in the views and fresh mountain air, head back to Srinagar for your final night stay.

Day 5: Departure – Fond Farewells

After breakfast, if time permits, you may indulge in some local shopping at Lal Chowk or Boulevard Road for Kashmiri handicrafts, pashmina, and dry fruits. Later, we will transfer you to Srinagar Airport for your onward journey with memories that will stay with you forever.
