Kashmir Special (5N/6D) — Srinagar · Sonmarg · Gulmarg · Pahalgam | Leisure Club Holidays

Day-wise Itinerary

Day 1 Highlights

On arrival at the Srinagar Airport, you will be welcomed by our representative who will assist and escort you to your waiting vehicle. From the airport drive through the heart of New Srinagar city — the drive takes you past the Abdullah bridge which connects the banks of the Jhelum river, snaking its way towards the North-Western frontier of Kashmir. Arrive and check in at the hotel. Later enjoy the Srinagar city tour which includes Shankaracharya Temple, the Mughal Gardens, Chashma Shahi Garden, the Tulip Garden (Asia’s largest tulip garden, Mar–Apr), Nishat Bagh built by Asaf Khan, the brother-in-law of Jehangir, in 1632 AD, and Shalimar Bagh built by Jehangir for his wife Empress Nur Jahan. Built in between a period of 14 years, the two gardens are a heritage left behind by the erstwhile Mughals, whose taste for laying exquisite gardens was fascinating. All the gardens are situated on the banks of Dal Lake with the Zabarwan hills in the background. Overnight stay at Srinagar hotel.

Day 2 Highlights

After breakfast, proceed to Sonmarg — one of the most beautiful drives from Srinagar. Sonmarg, also called the Meadow of Gold, is located at a height of 2690 metres. You may take a pony ride (at your own cost) to Thajiwas Glacier, where snow remains round the year. Zero Point in Sonamarg is a high-altitude snow wonderland located near the Zoji La Pass at roughly 11,500 feet (3,500+ metres) above sea level — it marks the geographic boundary and gateway between the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh, offering breathtaking mountain views and patches of snow even during the summer months. Later drive back to Srinagar. Overnight stay at hotel in Srinagar.

Day 3 Highlights

After breakfast drive to Gulmarg (Meadow of Flowers), 2730 metres above sea level. The drive past colourful villages and rice fields gives you an insight of the rich cultural past of Kashmir. Arrive at the small picturesque market town of Tangmarg and drive ahead on a scenic 14-kilometre stretch to Gulmarg. Gulmarg has one of the best ski slopes in the world and the highest 18-hole golf course. In Gulmarg, board the Gondola cable car system and ascend towards the Afarwat mountain range. The 08-minute ropeway takes you past colourful shepherd hutments to the lower ridge of the Afarwat peak, from where you can click lots of photos of the nearby mountain ranges that stand tall like sentinels guarding the rich natural beauty of the Kashmir valley. Overnight stay at Srinagar.

Day 4 Highlights

After breakfast check out from the hotel and drive towards Pahalgam on National Highway 1A, which connects the Valley to the rest of the country. Drive past Pampore, often called the Saffron Town, the marvellous ruins of Awantipora and the village of Bijbehara, which remains famous as the bread basket of Kashmir — famous for Chinar trees and gardens. Switch to the national highway at Khanabal and drive through the second largest city of Anantnag. The final leg of the journey is through some lush valleys, winding along the Lidder River which flows serenely through those very valleys. Arrive Pahalgam and check in at the hotel, and later do some nature walks to unwind. Overnight stay at Pahalgam.

Day 5 Highlights

After breakfast, visit Pahalgam (the valley of shepherds). A few kilometres from Pahalgam is a place renowned as ‘Mini Switzerland’ — the panoramic view of the valleys and mountains here is very stunning. The beautiful meadows, dense forests and clear sky make it an excellent spot for nature lovers, and you can go to these points by union cab: Betaab Valley (characterised by breathtaking landscapes of snow with pine forests and lush meadows, made famous through films shot by Bollywood), Chandanwari (famous as the base / starting point of the Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage) and Aru Valley (known for the wide expansive panoramic views), along with other sightseeing points. In the evening return to Srinagar House-Boat. Later visit the Floating Market, Meena Bazar and Nehru Garden by Shikara. Dinner & overnight stay in the House-Boat.

Day 6 Highlights

After breakfast, proceed to the Airport and return home with wonderful memories of your holiday.
