You fly into Srinagar, meet the tour operator mix with the group, and get into a houseboat on the Dal. That done you proceed for a leisurely Shikara ride during which you come across markets working entirely off boats. You can buy some wood carvings and handicrafts from sellers on the lake. You have the day free to explore Srinagar and return for a night on the Houseboat, lulled into sleep by the rocking motion of the boat.
It is early breakfast and then off you go to Sonmarg at a distance of about 84 kilometers. Sonmarg is a lovely, lush meadow located at a height of 9000 feet. Just walking around is a delight. You have options to proceed on ponies to Thajiwas Glacier or spend the day fishing for trout in the Sindh River. As the Sun lowers down, you return to Shrinagar. It’s been a wondrous day.
Like the previous day you breakfast and board the coach to Pahalgam. The group checks into a pre-arranged hotel and then you set out to explore the Valley of Shepherds, take a walk alongside the LidderRiver, and lose yourself in the beauties of nature here.
It is returned to Srinagar early in the morning, taking time off to stop at the Awantipura Ruins and the Mattan Temple Complex. On arrival at Srinagar, it is lunch time and thereafter you proceed to the Mogul Gardens Nishat and Shalimar. You may linger here till sunset or take time to go shopping on boulevards alongside the Dal, buy carpets or shawls, and visit the Shankaracharya temple before retiring to your hotel room for the night.
This is a special day as you will be visiting Gulmarg, the meadow of flowers at a height of about 8700 feet. Gulmarg has a golf course and other attractions such as a cable car ride to let you enjoy the scenery from high above. If you like skiing, there are facilities to let you indulge yourself here. After an eventful day, you return to Srinagar for a well-earned repose.
Your tour ends and you are transferred to the airport to catch a connecting flight or, if you like, proceed on your own to other places.
