Overview

Kashmir in 7 days

Kashmir earns its reputation slowly. It starts with a shikara pushing through the still water of Dal Lake at first light, the Zabarwan hills going pink behind you, and a floating vegetable market that has been trading in the same spot for generations. Then the valley opens out.

This seven-day itinerary gives each place the time it deserves: two nights on the lake in Srinagar, a run up to the meadows and gondola at Gulmarg, the Lidder river valleys around Pahalgam, and the glacier road to Sonamarg. Transfers are private, the hotels are inspected, and a Destico coordinator is on the phone throughout.
