๐ WHY KASHMIR
Kashmir isnโt just a destination โ itโs an emotion.
From luxury houseboats and snow-covered valleys to the warm smiles of locals, every moment here feels cinematic.
Srinagar is famous for itsย Dal Lake,ย Shikara rides, andย Mughal gardens. Explore the beautifulย floating marketsย and visitย Hazratbal Shrineย andย Shankaracharya Temple.
Gulmarg in monsoon transforms into aย lush green paradiseย with misty meadows, blooming flowers, and pine forests. Enjoy scenicย Gondola rides, peaceful nature walks, and pony rides amidst cool, refreshing weather.ย Itโs a serene escape offering breathtaking views and a completely different charm from its winter counterpart.
๐ฒ Pahalgam โ The Valley of Shepherds
Pahalgam, often called the Valley of Shepherds, is a serene town located in the Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir, about 90 km (2โ3 hrs) from Srinagar. Nestled at an altitude of around 2,200 meters along the Lidder River, it is surrounded by dense pine forests, snow-clad peaks, and lush meadows.
Located at an altitude ofย 9,000 ft, Sonamarg is known for itsย picturesque landscapesย andย Thajiwas Glacier. Itโs a must-visit forย trekkers and adventure enthusiasts.
