Tour Overview
Captivating Kashmir enchants you in whichever direction you turn. Look up and into the distance, majestic snow-clad mountains greet your eye. Look down from a height verdant valleys smiling with the warmth of spring invite you with a carpet of blooms. Turn your head and you look at tall fir and pine trees waving lazily in the cool breeze. Lakes and rivers beckon you with their silvery waters. Not for nothing has Kashmir been called the paradise on earth. This is where conquering hordes arrived and were conquered by the beauteous charms of Kashmir. There is no other place like it.
Of course the best way to enjoy Kashmir would be to totally immerse yourself in the countryside and life by taking a leisurely trip that could last for months. Not all of us have this leisure. Besides, it may be expensive and full of hassles as you have to consider travel, accommodation and food wherever you go. A far better way is to join a packaged tour that lets you sample the exquisite delights Kashmir has to offer such as romantic Shikara rides on the Dal. Then you have Pahalgam, Sonmarg, Gulmarg and a dozen other destinations to keep you enthralled. Your tour operator knows the best places, routes and things to do so leave it to them to make travel, food and accommodation arrangements for a wholly satisfying trip.
A typical affordable Kashmir tour would start at Srinagar and include Pahalgam, Sonmarg and Gulmarg in the itinerary. Here is what a typical itinerary would look like and is below;
Note:
As always tour operators have their defined policy of including you in a group if there is room, taxes, cancellations and accommodation with escape clauses so make sure you make the effort to get to know each tiny detail of the exact tour price, accommodation provided, foods included and surface transport. You avoid unpleasantness and can also make your own plans on how to spend your leisure time at each place you visit and get the most out of your Kashmir Tour Package.
