About Kashmir

Kashmir is one of India's most loved holiday destinations — a valley of glassy lakes, Mughal gardens, pine forests and wide alpine meadows framed by the Himalaya.

A typical Kashmir holiday combines a houseboat or hotel stay in Srinagar with day trips or overnight stays in Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg. We plan the route, stays and transport around your dates, group and pace.

Why Visit Kashmir

  • Shikara rides and houseboat stays on Dal Lake
  • Gulmarg Gondola — one of the highest cable cars in the world
  • Snow in winter, flower-filled meadows in spring and summer
  • Mughal gardens, local handicrafts and Kashmiri cuisine
  • Ideal for honeymoons, families and first-time mountain travellers

Green valleys and golden chinar trees in autumn. Fewer crowds after August.
