Kashmir's 5 Day Srinagar & Gulmarg Grandeur Escape
Route Map
Arrive at Sheikh-ul-Alam International Airport, Srinagar. You will be greeted by your chauffeur and transferred in a private AC Vehicle. Experience the epitome of Kashmiri hospitality with a stay at a Deluxe Houseboat on Dal Lake or Nigeen Lake, featuring intricate walnut wood carvings. Embark on a private, decorated Shikara ride. Glide through the floating gardens and witness the vibrant "Char Chinari" as the sun sets over the Zabarwan Range. Enjoy a traditional Kahwa (Kashmiri saffron tea) on the deck, followed by a multi-course dinner.
Visit the world-famous Mughal Gardens: Nishat Bagh (The Garden of Pleasure) and Shalimar Bagh (The Abode of Love). These terraced lawns and cascading fountains represent the pinnacle of Persian-influenced landscaping. A drive to the Shankaracharya Temple, situated atop Gopadari Hill, offering a panoramic 360-degree view of the Srinagar valley. Explore the old city’s architectural marvels, including the Jamia Masjid and the wooden shrine of Shah-e-Hamdan, showcasing the unique "Pinjrakari" woodwork. Indulge in an authentic Kashmiri Wazwan lunch at a premier high-end restaurant, featuring delicacies like Rogan Josh and Gushtaba.
Overnight Stay in Srinagar.
Depart for Gulmarg (approx. 2 hours) in your private AC Vehicle, passing through picturesque pine forests and paddy fields. Ascend to the clouds via the Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world. We recommend Phase II (Apharwat Peak) for breathtaking views of the Nanga Parbat. Spend the afternoon at the world’s highest green golf course or enjoy a walk through the wildflower-laden meadows. Check into a hotel, offering floor-to-ceiling views of the snow-capped peaks.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the mountains. Optional visit to the historic St. Mary’s Church and the Maharani Temple. Return to Srinagar in your AC Vehicle. En route, stop at a Pashmina and Carpet Weaving Center to witness master craftsmen at work. This is an opportunity to acquire authentic, certified Kashmiri handicrafts. Relax at your hotel or take a final stroll along the scenic Foreshore Road.
