9-Day Kashmir Tour Experience

Good morning ! Have a wonderful day ahead. After breakfast at your Srinagar hotel, take a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Sonamarg, known as the 'Meadow of Gold,' about 72 km away. Famous for its golden autumn hues, Sonamarg dazzles with its snowy mountains and lush meadows. Here, you can enjoy activities like trekking to Thajiwas Glacier, river rafting, or skiing. You can also opt for a pony ride to explore the glacier area (at your own expense). In the evening, head back to Srinagar for a relaxing overnight stay at your hotel.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before setting off for Doodhpathri, a charming, bowl-shaped valley located approximately 42 km from Srinagar. This area is known for its breathtaking alpine scenery, with snow-dusted peaks and verdant meadows covered with pine, fir, and deodar trees. A gentle river flows through, harmonizing with the soft whispers of wind passing through the pines surrounding the valley. Often referred to as the "Valley of Milk," Doodhpathri is renowned for its abundant production of rich milk. Overnight stay at Srinagar hotel.

Good morning! Hope you had a restful night. After breakfast, embark on a journey to Manasbal Lake, nestled in the Ganderbal District of Jammu and Kashmir. The lake’s name, "Manasbal," is believed to originate from the sacred Lake Manasarovar. Known as the deepest lake in India, reaching depths of 13 meters (43 feet), Manasbal’s clear waters are framed by beautiful lotus blooms during July and August, enhancing the lake’s natural charm and providing a truly serene landscape to enjoy.

Wake up fresh, have your breakfast and get ready to enjoy a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Gulmarg, the charming 'Meadow of Flowers,' located 52 km from Srinagar. Known for its ski slopes and the world’s highest 18-hole golf course, Gulmarg draws about 1.6 million visitors annually. Be sure to experience the renowned Gulmarg Gondola (at your own expense), Asia’s highest cable car, which spans 5 km and reaches heights of up to 4,000 meters. In the evening, settle into your accommodations in Gulmarg, relaxing with stunning views before a restful night.

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, depart for Pahalgam, the picturesque "Valley of Shepherds." This scenic 3-hour 15-minute drive (138.7 km) from Gulmarg takes you through lush rice fields and beautiful countryside. Upon arrival in Pahalgam, take time to explore popular local attractions such as Chandanwari, Baisaran, Aru Valley, and Betaab Valley (accessible via Union cab at your own expense). After an exciting day of sightseeing and adventure, return to your hotel to unwind and enjoy a restful overnight stay.

This morning, after an early breakfast, set off for Srinagar. On arrival, enjoy a visit to some of Srinagar's lively local markets, where you can browse traditional handicrafts, textiles, and souvenirs unique to Kashmir.
