Why travel to Kashmir

Kashmir remains India's most cinematic escape — a deluxe houseboat night on Dal Lake, the gondola ride up Gulmarg's slopes, and Pahalgam's pine-lined valleys strung together into one unhurried week. This itinerary blends the classic sights with enough breathing room to actually enjoy them.

Gondola (cable car) ride up Gulmarg's Apharwat Peak
Shikara sunset cruise on Dal Lake
Pahalgam's Betaab & Aru valleys at your own pace
