Overview
AUTUMN KASHMIR- The Golden Season 'Harud'
Experience Kashmir at its most enchanting during Harud — the golden autumn season — on this specially curated 5 Nights / 6 Days Autumn Kashmir journey with Travel Bezzie. Designed for photographers, nature lovers and travellers who appreciate slow, immersive journeys, the tour brings together the fiery Chinar landscapes of Srinagar, tranquil waters of Dal and Nigeen Lake, seasonal saffron fields around Pampore, countryside orchards, the turquoise Lidder River and Pahalgam, peaceful Aru Valley, and the magnificent meadows and pine forests of Gulmarg. Capture golden foliage, reflections, mountain light, village life, harvest scenes and dramatic Himalayan landscapes while still having enough time to simply enjoy Kashmir beyond the camera. From sunset Shikara rides and Mughal Gardens to scenic drives, spontaneous photography stops and a memorable final night aboard a premium Srinagar houseboat, this experience celebrates Kashmir not through rushed sightseeing, but through its colours, landscapes, people and changing autumn light. No professional camera is required — just bring your camera or phone and a desire to experience Kashmir during one of its most beautiful seasons.
