Start your journey in the beautiful city of Srinagar. Visit the famous Dal Lake and take a shikara ride to see the floating gardens, lotus fields, and vegetable farms. You can also visit the Shankaracharya Hill, an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva that offers a mesmerizing view of the city. End your day by visiting the Nishat Bagh, a beautiful terraced garden located on the eastern side of the Dal Lake.
Take a day trip to the scenic town of Pahalgam. Visit the Betaab Valley, named after the Bollywood movie that was shot there, and enjoy the beautiful views of the valley, river, and surrounding hills. You can also trek to the Kashmir Valley, go horse riding, or relax by the river. End your day by visiting the Aru Valley, a beautiful village located at the confluence of two rivers, and experience the local culture and cuisine.
If you have more time, consider visiting Gulmarg, known for its skiing and snowboarding, or Sonmarg, also called the "Meadows of Gold". If you have less time, you can skip Pahalgam and visit the Mughal Gardens in Srinagar, which is a cluster of gardens built by the Mughal emperors. However, make sure to check the opening and closing times of each place since they vary depending on the season.
