Welcome to Srinagar, the Lake City. Upon arrival, begin your tour of "Glimpse of Kashmir." You will be transferred to your hotel. Proceed on a city tour visiting the Shankaracharya Temple, located on the highest hill in Srinagar, and explore the famous Mughal Gardens—Chashmashahi, Nishat, and Shalimar. These gardens were the Mughal Emperors' vision of paradise and are now popular picnic spots. Also, visit a handicraft shop where you can purchase local handcrafted items such as shawls, jackets, bed covers, paper mache, carpets, and more. In the evening, take a leisurely stroll alongside Dal Lake and explore the local markets. Overnight stay at the hotel in Srinagar.

Today, embark on a full-day excursion to the picturesque "Meadow of Gold," Sonamarg. It is the last stop in the Kashmir district, from where the Ladakh territory begins. Situated at an altitude of 2,743 meters above sea level, the fast-flowing Sindh River is popular for trout and mahseer fishing in the summer. You may opt for a pony ride to one of the glaciers for some snow and ice fun (at your own cost). Return to your hotel in Srinagar in the evening for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, drive to Doodhpathri, the "Valley of Milk," located in the Budgam district within the Pir Panjal Range. It is an alpine valley covered with snow-capped mountains. Doodhpathri features the Achtar Glacier with two tributaries, Sokhnag and Shaliganga, the latter being known as Doodhpathri. You can only reach Sokhnag by pony ride. After some peaceful time at Doodhpathri, return to Srinagar for an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, drive to Yusmarg. The 57 km journey takes approximately 2 hours and is enjoyable in itself. The drive offers views of grassy pastures, dense pine forests, and snow-capped mountains. After exploring Yusmarg, return to Srinagar for an overnight stay at the hotel.

In the morning, drive to Gulmarg, the "Meadow of Flowers." The route from Srinagar is breathtaking. Gulmarg is famous worldwide for skiing and snowboarding. During the British Raj, it was a popular European hill resort. In Gulmarg, you can enjoy European-like surroundings, an 18-hole golf course, and the Gondola Cable Car Ride, the highest and longest in Asia (at your own cost—book tickets online).

Early in the morning, depart for Pahalgam, the "Valley of Shepherds," located at the confluence of the Lidder River and Sheeshnag Lake. En route, visit the Awantipura Ruins, an 1,100-year-old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built by King Awantivarman. On arrival in Pahalgam, enjoy the surrounding beauty or take a walk to Baisaran, about 2 km from Pahalgam. You can also visit Aru Valley, Betab Valley, and Chandanwari by car (at your own cost). Aru, a small village 11 km upstream along the Lidder River, is picturesque with ample campsites and is the starting point for treks to the Kolahoi Glacier. Baisaran, surrounded by pine forests, is a beautiful meadow, while Hajan and Betab Valley lie on the way to Chandanwari. Overnight stay at the hotel in Pahalgam.
