About Srinagar
Kashmir, located in the northernmost part of India, is renowned for its alpine scenery, Mughal gardens, and tranquil lakes. The region’s natural charm blends effortlessly with centuries-old heritage and hospitality. From the tulip gardens of Srinagar to the meadows of Gulmarg and the pine forests of Pahalgam, this 9-day itinerary gives you a wholesome experience of adventure, serenity, and traditional Kashmiri life. Rich in vegetarian-friendly culinary delights and cultural experiences, Kashmir is a paradise for nature lovers, families, couples, and spiritual seekers.
My Experience
Our journey through Kashmir was serene and enriching. Staying at luxurious hotels like The Lalit Grand Palace in Srinagar and Khyber Himalayan Resort in Gulmarg made the trip extra special. The vegetarian food throughout was unexpectedly delightful — especially the Rajma Chawal at Krishna Dhaba. Strolling along Dal Lake, gliding up to Mt. Apharwat via the Gulmarg Gondola, and the peaceful riverside moments in Pahalgam will forever be etched in our hearts. Kashmir truly lives up to its name – Heaven on Earth.
