Upon arrival at Srinagar Airport or the nearest railway station, you will be warmly welcomed by our representative/driver and transferred to your hotel. After a brief rest, embark on a sightseeing tour to explore the renowned Mughal Gardens, including Nishat Bagh, Cheshma Shahi, and Shalimar Bagh. Visit the revered Hazratbal Shrine situated on the serene banks of Dal Lake and the historic Shankaracharya Temple. The gardens are located approximately 20 to 30 kilometers from Srinagar. In the late afternoon, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in the hotel or houseboat

After breakfast, depart for Sonmarg (Meadow of Gold), located approximately 86 kilometers from Srinagar. Renowned for its scenic beauty and serene ambiance, Sonmarg is one of the most visited destinations in Kashmir. Spend the day enjoying the breathtaking views and engaging in fun activities. You may opt for a pony ride to visit the Thajiwas Glacier, draped in ice, and explore Zero Point (Snow Point) near Zojila Pass, both of which require hiring a local union shared taxi. In the late evening, return to Srinagar for dinner and an overnight stay

After breakfast, proceed by road to Pahalgam (Valley of Shepherds), one of the most popular summer hill stations and excursion spots in Kashmir. Located in South Kashmir’s Anantnag District, it lies 96 kilometers from the capital city of Srinagar. En route, enjoy the scenic drive through saffron fields in Pampore town and visit the ruins of the 10th-century Awantipura Temple, famously featured in many Bollywood movies. Upon arrival in Pahalgam, explore the world-renowned Betaab Valley, Aru Valley, and Chandanwari, known for their breathtaking beauty and serene landscapes. These spots can be visited via local taxi or horseback riding. During spring and summer, with longer daylight hours, you may also take a short trek to Baisaran Valley, fondly called Mini Switzerland. Visiting all these destinations will take approximately 6-7 hours. Return to Srinagar in the late evening for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, check out from the houseboat or hotel and proceed for a full-day excursion to Gulmarg, known as the "Meadow of Flowers." Gulmarg boasts a renowned golf course during summer, one of the highest 18-hole golf courses in the world, and transforms into a popular ski resort during winter. Enjoy an optional Gondola (cable car) ride from Gulmarg to Khilanmarg (at your own expense) for stunning views of the natural beauty in summer or a snow-covered wonderland in winter. You may also opt for a pony ride (at your own expense) to explore the open fields, visit Seven Springs, or see the lake that remains frozen until June. Return to Srinagar in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel or houseboat.
