About the tour

Experience Kashmir at a comfortable, unhurried pace with a thoughtfully designed 4-day Srinagar and Gulmarg escape. The journey begins in Srinagar, where the calm waters of Dal Lake, traditional Kashmiri surroundings and the warmth of a cedar-wood luxury houseboat set the tone. A 1-hour Shikara ride offers an easy introduction to the lake, followed by a relaxed day exploring Srinagar's historic Mughal Gardens and lakeside landscapes. The journey then continues towards Gulmarg through the scenic Kashmir Valley. Here, the pace slows further with time to explore the region's peaceful pine forests, enjoy the mountain surroundings and simply take in the landscape. Designed for travellers who value comfort, scenery and meaningful experiences over a packed schedule, this short Kashmir holiday combines Srinagar's lake-and-heritage character with Gulmarg's forested mountain setting.
