3-Day Srinagar, Gulmarg & Pahalgam Tour in Kashmir
Begin your Kashmir journey the moment you land at Srinagar International Airport, where your private air-conditioned cab and experienced driver await. Settle in for a scenic drive to Dal Lake, where you can spend the afternoon gliding across its calm waters in a traditional shikara, surrounded by floating gardens and houseboats. The next morning, explore the terraced Mughal gardens of Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh, their cascading fountains set against the Zabarwan Range. Climb to the hilltop Shankaracharya Temple for panoramic valley views before heading to Gulmarg, a meadowland that transforms into a winter sports hub depending on the season. On your final day, drive through pine forests to Pahalgam, a riverside town perfect for a gentle walk along the Lidder River before your drop-off at Srinagar Airport. This tour suits travellers seeking a compact yet varied introduction to Kashmir’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
