Luxury Jammu Kashmir Tours

The Dal Lake is the heart and soul of the capital city of Kashmir. It is to Srinagar what Lake Pichola is to Udaipur. Life in Srinagar revolves around this serene lake that gives you a splendid view of the mountains of the valleys.

Traditional wooden Gondolas (boats) called Shikara dot its landscape zigzagging on the lake carrying people and goods around. The lake is also famous for its traditional boathouses.

A stay in a luxurious houseboat retreat in the picturesque Dal Lake is one of the quintessential Srinagar experiences.

The word Gulmarg comes from two Persian words. ‘Gul’ meaning flowers and ‘Marg’ meaning a meadow. This Meadow of Flowers is located in the Baramulla District of Jammu and Kashmir, only 30 miles from the capital city of Srinagar.

The region is located at a height of 2,650 meters (8,690 ft) above sea level. Gulmarg has been described as the “heartland of winter sports in India.” Due to its snow slopes that are perfect for skiing, Gulmarg is India’s premier destination for winter sports.

Gulmarg also has the world’s highest cable car called the “Gulmarg Gondola” which gives you panoramic...

Located in the district of Anantnag, the Virgin Valley of Pahalgam is known as the “Valley of Shepherds.” It is a region filled with meadows of flowers and grass, lush green valleys and breathtaking scenery.

Snuggled at a height of 3,900 meters above sea leave, Pahagalm is also the site of the Amarnath Caves (which are considered one of the important Hindu pilgrimage sites in the world). These caves are believed to be the above of none other than LORD SHIVA.

The gorgeous Lidder River that winds its way through the valley is not just a visual delight but also a great site for white-water sports.

If there is one thing that the Mughals loved more than palaces, architecture, great food and poetry, it is lawns and gardens.

Aside from great works of architecture (forts, palaces, mausoleums) one of their greatest legacies in the subcontinent is the sprawling gardens they have left behind, some of which continue to survive to this day.

The Mughal Gardens are the pride of the capital city of Jammu and Kashmir. They are just pure visual delight and great for leisurely walks. Watching a sunrise and a sunset in the gardens is one of the must-do things in Kashmir.

We highly recommend...

Kashmir is a foodie’s heaven. Its lip-smacking cuisine oozes textures, aromas and delightful flavors.

The food culture of the region has been highly influenced by centuries of ancient Silk Roads trade, the Mughal Empire and local Kashmiri traditions.

Dishes that we highly recommend are Kashmiri Rajma (a rice and red beans dish served with red gravy made out of a tomato and onions puree), Yakhni Pulao (made from basmati rice, mutton, onions, local herbs and spices) and the ultimate pride of Kashmir called Rogan Josh (a slow-cooked mutton stew made out of a killer combo of deseeded Kashmiri chilies, tender meat, herbs and spices)

Sonamarg is a breathtakingly beautiful hill station in the Ganderbal District of Jammu and Kashmir. The word Sonamarg is a compound for two Kashmiri words. “Sona” which means Gold, and “Marg” which means a meadow.

This ‘Meadow of Gold’ is located 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Srinagar and is quite accessible. It is also known as one of the best all-weather hill stations in the state.

Sonamarg used to be an important stopover in the so-called ancient Silk Road s trade and connected Kashmir (and rest of Hindustan) with Tibet and China. An alpine adventure in the Meadow of Gold is one experience that we guarantee that you...

The Dal Lake is one of the primary means of getting around in Srinagar. Shikaras (traditional wooden boats) frantically go about transporting people and good around.

The lake is also one of the primary drivers of the economy of the region as well.

One of the biggest tourist attractions is a floating market of Shikaras that takes place smack in the middle of the Dal Lake. Little shops are housed on a fleet of Shikaras. You can get everything from vegetables and fresh fruits to handicrafts, saffron, wool Dhurries and so many regional artifacts.

You must check out this floating...

You typically do not associate snow and sky with India. Mention of India conjures up images of palaces, forts, beaches, jungles, wildlife and backwaters. We are here to tell you that you are in for a little surprise.

In winter, Kashmir becomes the most coveted destination for ski lovers in India. Its landscape of pristine mountain valleys and slopy hills is perfect for skiing as soon as peak snow season starts (Late December- early March).

Ski facilities in this part of India have caught up with the rest of the world. At the Gulmarg Ski resort, you will find facilities...

The Gulmarg meadow is an other-world of unreal beauty. Meadows of flowers nestled in a backdrop of picturesque snowcapped mountains, serene rivers, alpine forests and waterfalls.

Pahalgam (located in the Anantnag District of Jammu) is known as the “Valley of Shepherds.” The terrain, with its stunning beauty comprising green meadows, rivers, streams, and grazing pastures makes an ideal habitat for cattle and sheep.

A remote part of the state, it is a sparsely populated region with quaint little mountain hamlets and settlements that have survived for centuries, mostly on cattle and sheep grazing.

Our customized tour to Pahalgam’s mountain settlements and little villages is quite the cultural experience, that is sure to leave a mark on you.

Crocus Sativus, popularly known as Saffron (Zafaran in Kashmir) has been cultivated in the valley of Kashmir for generations.

As one of the world’s most expensive spices, Saffron has a history dating back 3,500 years. Romans used it as deodorants, ancient Egyptians used it in their medicinal ointments.

Saffron is known as the “Red Gold” of Kashmir. We take you on an exclusive tour of a saffron farm to unearth the mystery and mystique around this marquee spice of Kashmir.

As an important stopover on the ancient silk roads trade connecting Hindustan with Tibet, the Jammu and Kashmir region developed a whole network of handicrafts and arts that played a pivotal role in the trade.

The region is known for its magical hand-woven Kashmiri Carpets, Kashmiri Silk Shawls, Wood Carving and ornate traditional furniture, Basohli and Calico Paintings.

It is also a great place to go shopping. Lal Chowk, one of the key shopping districts of Kashmir is thronged by visitors from all over India. Other great places to buy traditional Kashmir goods are Polo View Market, Badshah Chowk, Residency Chown and Zaina Kadal Market.
