9-Day Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam & Sonmarg Tour in Kashmir
Begin your Kashmir journey in Srinagar, settling into a shikara ride across Dal Lake before driving to Gulmarg for two nights amid its sprawling meadows and, depending on the season, snow-dusted slopes. Descend to Pahalgam, where you explore Betaab Valley’s lush, film-set scenery and the pine-fringed roads leading to Aru Valley, the Lidder River murmuring alongside. Return to Srinagar for three nights, visiting the Mughal gardens—Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi—before ascending to Shankaracharya Temple for sweeping valley views. A day trip to Sonmarg reveals glacier-fed streams and alpine pastures. Your air-conditioned vehicle and experienced driver handle the scenic drives, while you soak in Kashmir’s layered beauty. This tour suits travellers who want a relaxed, comprehensive introduction to the valley’s gardens, mountains, and waterways.
