About this itinerary
Float on Dal Lake aboard a cedar-carved shikara, ski down the powder bowls of Gulmarg, picnic in the saffron fields of Pampore, and sleep in a heritage houseboat under a chinar moon.
The Kashmir Valley is a painter's palette of chinar-lined boulevards, blue lakes, snow peaks and gardens laid out by Mughal emperors.
Our package covers Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam (Aru, Betaab, Chandanwari) and Sonmarg — with two nights in a deluxe houseboat on Dal Lake.
