From the moment you touch down in Srinagar, our local representative will welcome you. They will take you to your hotel or traditional houseboat to check in and rest a bit. Later, you can go for a Shikara ride on Dal Lake.
Overview
Srinagar is considered a paradise on Earth for many, who dive into a perfect world of escaping into nature. The city placed at the heart of the Kashmir Valley will leave everyone in endless awe, with its placid lakes, houseboats, gardens, and snow-capped mountains. From romantic Shikara rides on Dal Lake to buying exquisite Kashmiri handicrafts in the colorful markets, the soul just adds to the already grown treasure chest of Srinagar.
This short visit to this beautiful city will allow you to witness wonderful vistas of valleys, splendid Mughal gardens, and sparkling rivers and enjoy the taste of Kashmiri hospitality. An added tour is a treat, from the thrills of Sonamarg’s golden meadows to the quiet splendor of Pahalgam and the snowy slopes of Gulmarg.
At the end of these weeks, you carry back with you much more than the memorabilia; you return with a very heavy baggage of memories, captured in snow, of untold tales, and the serenity of Kashmir in your heart.
