Drive 2.5 hours south to the beautiful town of Pahalgam, surrounded by the gift of nature. Take a leisurely horse ride to Betaab Valley, nestled between pine trees and snow-capped peaks. A visit to the Chandanwari and Aru Valley promises a relaxing escape from the hustle-bustle of big cities.
Enjoy a full day trip to Gulmarg, nestled between towering mountains. A nature lover’s paradise filled with alpine beauty in the summer. Take the Gondola Ride (Not in operation during September) to catch the majestic view of the Nagin Valley.
This day trip brings you to Aharbal Waterfall, which is at its best during September. A nature's marvel that will take your breath away. After waterfall, drive to Sonmarg - an absolutely breathtaking place with spectacular views of the valley. This heaven on earth will make you feel as if you're right in the heart of paradise.
Head back to Srinagar and spend your afternoon indulging in nature. Visit the beautiful Mughal Gardens, the largest being the magnificent Nishat Garden and the charming Shalimar Bagh. These gardens are a horticulturist's paradise and provide an exceptional experience of nature at its best. Witness the sunset at Char-chinar the island on Dal Lake.
If you have more time in Pahalgam, then you can also visit the Lidder Amusement Park.
