Upon alighting at Srinagar aerodrome, proceed towards the serene Dal Lake, where an exquisite houseboat awaits your boarding. Relish a sumptuous dinner while floating on tranquil waters, and immerse yourself in the nocturnal serenity.
Begin your day with a delectable breakfast and embark on an early voyage to Pahalgam, perched at an elevation of 2,130 meters. Once a humble shepherd’s hamlet, Pahalgam now stands as Kashmir’s premier resort haven. Meander through picturesque pinewoods or opt for a pony ride to the illustrious Mini-Switzerland (Baisaran). Alternatively, engage in a sightseeing odyssey through Pahalgam, visiting the verdant Betaab Valley, the accessible Chandanwari, and the tranquil Aru Valley. Betaab Valley, named after a Bollywood classic, presents lush meadows encircled by snowy summits. Chandanwari, the gateway for the annual yatra from July to August, offers flat terrains reachable by vehicle. As dusk falls, return to Srinagar, settle into your houseboat, and enjoy a splendid dinner.
Post-breakfast, set forth to Gulmarg. Savor lunch at a quaint local bistro before exploring Gulmarg, often revered as the “Meadow of Flowers” and “India’s Switzerland.” This locale is famed for its ski resort and the world’s loftiest 18-hole golf course. Stroll leisurely or take a pony ride (for a fee) through lush meadows, visit the eminent golf course, or embark on a Gondola ride. Discovered in the 16th century, Gulmarg was a favored retreat of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, boasting unmatched splendor. Return to Srinagar for an overnight repose on a houseboat or hotel.
Commence your final day with an early repast, followed by a tour of Srinagar’s surrounding verdant gardens. Return to your hotel for lunch before heading to Srinagar Airport for your flight to Delhi.
