Kashmir

Paradise of meadows, lakes & snow

Overview

Welcome to Kashmir

Kashmir earns its 'paradise on earth' reputation: glide across Dal Lake in a shikara, wake up in a carved-cedar houseboat, ride the Gulmarg Gondola over snow-dusted meadows and picnic in the pine valleys of Pahalgam and Betaab.

It is one of India's most rewarding short getaways — short flight, dramatic scenery within easy drives, and warm Kashmiri hospitality with wazwan feasts. Equally magical for honeymooners, families and snow-seekers.
