Epitomising heavenly beauty and adventure, Kashmir entices travellers with its verdant valleys, crystalline lakes, and snow-capped mountain peaks. Our 5-day tour is a stunning introduction to the best of 'Paradise on Earth'—mesmerising landscapes, heritage treasures, and adrenaline-pumping activities. We begin the holiday in Srinagar, the quintessential lakeside city built around the serene Dal Lake and encircled by magnificent Himalayas. Cruise the beautiful Dal backwaters and colourful floating markets on a memorable shikara ride. Spend a day uncovering manicured 17th-century Mughal gardens like Nishat and Shalimar and making picture-perfect backdrops with their terraced lawns and misty fountains. Lose yourself in Srinagar's old-world downtown, strolling past historic mosques and temples dotted alongside lively local bazaars brimming with silks and handicrafts. Next up are two days of adventure and jaw-dropping scenery in the scenic town of Gulmarg, just an hour from Srinagar. Ride Asia's highest cable car, the Gulmarg Gondola, to Apharwat Peak at a soaring height of 13,780 feet for stunning 360° views of lush meadows and snow-clad massifs. Try sledding and snow skiing with experienced instructors (in winter) or horseback riding to Khilanmarg during the vibrant spring when the valley transforms into a colourful flower garden. Get your adrenaline fix mountain biking through Gulmarg's intense single tracks with breathtaking valley views throughout. As you bid adieu, take along the warmth of new friendships formed over countless cups of Noon Chai and memories of royal houseboats, historic sites, culture, and adventure treasured for a lifetime! Stay can be easily extended by a day or two for Vaishno Devi pilgrimage, Wular Lake visit near Srinagar, or Pahalgam Valley/Betaab Valley side trip from Gulmarg.
