About Srinagar:

Srinagar, founded over 2,000 years ago by King Pravarasena II, is the summer capital of the Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir. Known as the heart of Kashmir, the city proudly preserves the cultural imprints of the Mughal and British eras. It is famous for its picturesque lakes, lush gardens, and the charming houseboats that float gracefully on its waters.

In addition to its natural beauty, Srinagar is renowned for its traditional Kashmiri handicrafts, exquisite Kashmiri clothing, and high-quality dry fruits. The city is surrounded by five districts, with Kargil to the north, Pulwama to the south, and Budgam to the northwest.

After breakfast, you will embark on a scenic drive to Gulmarg, a renowned hill station known for its breathtaking landscapes. With the introduction of the Gondola Cable Car, Gulmarg has become the highest lift-served ski resort in the world, offering an exhilarating downhill ski run of 5.2 km from an altitude of 14,000 ft in the Apharwat range. It also holds the distinction of being the longest gondola-served ski lift in Asia. Tickets for Gondola Phase-1 and Phase-2 are subject to online availability, especially during peak season. If tickets are unavailable, an alternative day trip to Doodhpathri will be arranged, depending on feasibility for the group. Sightseeing in Gulmarg, including Union cabs, pony rides, and ATV bikes, is self-paid. Our vehicle will drop you at the taxi/bus stand, from where there is a walking distance of approximately 1 km to the Gondola Station. A local guide may be hired for Gulmarg as recommended by the J&K Tourism Department. After an eventful day, return to Srinagar for an overnight stay.

Gulmarg, situated at an altitude of 2,690 meters above sea level, is a mesmerizing hill station known for its lush green meadows and serene surroundings. Historically, it was called Gauri Marg by shepherds, but in the 16th century, Sultan Yusuf Shah, enchanted by its vibrant floral landscapes, renamed it Gulmarg, meaning “Meadow of Flowers.” The hill station also served as a favored retreat for Mughal Emperor Jehangir, who is believed to have collected 21 different varieties of flowers from this picturesque valley.

After breakfast, proceed for a sightseeing tour of Pahalgam, exploring the breathtaking Baisaran Valley, often referred to as Mini Switzerland. Nestled amidst lush green forests and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, this scenic valley offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling city. The journey to Baisaran is best experienced on ponies, allowing you to traverse through the dense pine forests while soaking in the mesmerizing views.

After a day of adventure and natural beauty, return to your hotel in Pahalgam for a relaxing overnight stay, embracing the serene ambiance of this picturesque destination.

After breakfast, you will be driven back to Srinagar, where you will check in to a beautifully crafted houseboat. Experience the warm hospitality with a refreshing welcome drink served on board. En route, visit the historic Awantipora Ruins, home to the 9th-century Lord Vishnu Temples, which are preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India. These ancient structures offer a glimpse into the rich heritage and architectural marvels of Kashmir.

In the evening, unwind with a complimentary one-hour Shikara ride on the tranquil waters of Dal Lake, soaking in the mesmerizing views of the surrounding mountains and floating markets. As the sun sets, indulge in a sumptuous dinner served on the dining table in the houseboat, followed by leisure time to relax and embrace the serenity of your unique stay.

Srinagar, often referred to as A Heaven on Earth, offers breathtaking beauty in every season, making it a destination worth experiencing year-round. Enjoy a peaceful overnight stay in the houseboat, floating on the serene waters of Dal Lake, surrounded by the enchanting charm of Kashmir.

The journey itself is a visual delight, offering glimpses of Kashmir’s serene countryside.

Arrive at Aharbal Waterfalls, famously known as the "Niagara Falls of Kashmir." This spectacular waterfall, located on the Veshaw River, is surrounded by dense pine and fir forests, creating a tranquil and enchanting atmosphere. The water plunges from a height of approximately 25 meters, forming a mesmerizing cascade that captivates visitors with its sheer beauty and power.

Spend leisure time exploring the area around the falls, immersing yourself in the serene surroundings. Whether you choose to take a short hike, relax by the riverside, or simply admire the untouched wilderness, Aharbal offers a perfect escape into nature. Photography enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities to capture the breathtaking scenery, from the gushing waters to the lush greenery that envelopes the falls.
