Begin your Kashmir trip by exploring the beautiful Mughal Gardens. Visit Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi, which are vividly landscaped and decorated with fountains to soothe your senses. These gardens have a scenic view of the mountains and Dal Lake.
Take your family on a refreshing Shikara ride on Dal Lake as you savor the picturesque view of the snow-capped mountains. Later visit Jama Masjid, Hazratbal Shrine, and Shankaracharya Temple as they all have a significant cultural or religious significance.
Embark on a scenic drive for Lolab Valley, known for its impressive peaks, glistening rivers and unspoiled natural beauty. Enjoy a mild trek through the valley and discover its frozen lakes, luscious meadows, and rejuvenating waterfalls.
Doodhpathri, also known as “the valley of milk,” is a beautiful meadow and one of the least explored destinations of Kashmir. Trek to the hills and take a dip into the refreshing streams of this valley, which will grant you eternal peace and tranquility.
Explore the Gurez valley, located at an altitude of 8,000 feet on the Line of Control. This valley is a hub of scenic routes with snow-covered peaks, vibrant Tulip gardens, and cherry blossom trees. Also, don’t forget to visit the Habba Khatoon peak, which is named after the first female Kashmiri poetess.
Visit the Kheer Bhavani temple located in the picturesque Tula Mula village, which is mainly devoted to the goddess Kheer Bhawani. The temple is a sacred shrine amongst the followers of the Gaddi community. Moreover, you can relish upon the unique pink rice pudding served at the temple.
Do not forget to carry sunglasses, sunscreen, and warm clothes because the temperature tends to drop in the evenings. We also recommend considering travel insurance and ensure that every member of your family maintains hydration and altitude health protocols.
