Day 01
Arrival in Srinagar
- Your arrival in Srinagar is like stepping into a living painting.
- Crisp mountain air brushes your cheeks as a cheerful driver welcomes you with a cup of hot Kashmiri Kahwa—fragrant with saffron, almonds, and cardamom.
- The afternoon leads you through Srinagar's crown jewels—the Mughal Gardens.
- Shalimar Bagh, laid out with Persian symmetry and imperial romance, once echoed with whispers of Emperor Jahangir and his beloved Nur Jahan.
- Nishat Bagh.
- At Chashme Shahi, you sip cool spring water believed to have restorative powers.
- If you're up for a challenge you can climb up to the Shankaracharya Temple, where the valley lies spread below in layers of mist and shimmering Dal Lake.
- As dusk embraces the city, you board a velvet-cushioned shikara and drift across Dal Lake.
