Description

The Kashmir Fly & Stay package is the classic Kashmir experience — a perfectly paced 5-day journey through the four jewels of the valley: Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, and Pahalgam.

Your holiday begins on the tranquil waters of Dal Lake, where a Shikara glides past floating gardens and Mughal-era pavilions. You visit three magnificent Mughal Gardens built by emperors who fell in love with Kashmir centuries ago. Then three full-day excursions take you through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Himalayas — from the wildflower meadows of Gulmarg and its world-famous Gondola, to the golden valleys of Sonmarg, to the riverside paradise of Pahalgam with its legendary Betaab Valley.

Fly in, unwind, and let Kashmir cast its spell. This package is perfect for families, couples, and first-time visitors to the valley.
