8-Day Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam & Sonamarg Tour in Kashmir
Step into a week of alpine calm and Mughal elegance, all based from one Srinagar houseboat or hotel. Your first afternoon glides across Dal Lake on a shikara as the sun warms the garden terraces of Nishat Bagh. Morning brings you to Shalimar Bagh’s marble channels and the spring-fed Chashme Shahi, built for a prince’s gift. Day three heads to Gulmarg, where a gondola ride lifts you above meadows that bloom with wildflowers in warmer months. Pahalgam unfolds next: walk through Betaab Valley’s pine corridors and follow the Lidder River into Aru Valley’s quiet. Day five drives to Sonamarg, where a pony trek leads to the Thajiwas Glacier’s icy edge. Evenings are yours to wander Srinagar’s old quarters or simply watch the lake darken. This trip suits anyone craving a slow, thorough Kashmir immersion without changing bases. An air-conditioned vehicle and experienced driver accompany every outing.
