SNEAK PEAK
There is a reason why Kashmir has poems written on it, why sonnets of love are sung on it, why the land is said to be magical. Imagine pine trees with specs of snow covering them, imagine the Lidder River gushing with all its might, imagine pine cones fallen on the ground. Everywhere you look you see that Mother Nature is an artist. We’ll be visiting the coveted town of Gulmarg.
Take a ride on Asia’s longest gondola ride! Get to stare out at a scenic valley. Make way to Pahalgam where you believe you have entered movie sets yourself. There’s a slice of stream, rows of trees running wild and snow kissing tall towering mountains.
Time to make a snowman! last but not the least is the olden era charm with a sunset ride on the pretty Dal Lake. Shop away to take home some Kashmiri goodies. Sprawling shawls to paper match boxes, all the while talking to making memories over cups of kahwa
Feb 11th, Sunday: Land at Srinagar airport by or before 12pm. Board the magic bus and let’
s go to Pahalgam! Head to the scenic valley where Lidder river gushes kissing the pine trees to the wooden huts. Evening, check in, freshen up and let’s take a walk to the riverside so close to our hotel! O/N Pahalgam
Feb 12th, Monday: Today, you are going to enter a postcard! We are headed to Betaab Valley –
named so after the hit 90s Bollywood film shot here. Shall we do a happy dance on the bridge?
Shall we challenge each other to a game of cricket? Unleash your inner child! Also visit Aru
Valley with a fun easy hike, baby! We’ll cross horses and shepherds, have conversations and sing songs as we reach the top for a hilly picnic. O/N Pahalgam
Feb 13th, Tuesday: Have a nice and lazy start to the day because today we shall tuck you away
into a snowy delight, Baisaran! A pony ride through forests will lead you here, like a scene out of a Christmas movie. And, the location awaits with tall towering peaks staring over you. O/N
Pahalgam
Feb 14th, Wednesday: This morning you’re going to wake up beaming because we’re headed to Gulmarg! And, what’s a road trip without singing our hearts out, revealing our embarrassing playlists and anecdotes as we arrive at Kashmir’s crowned jewel. Who’s ready to have a snow fight with their new friends? Time to get, set, attack! O/N Gulmarg
Feb 15th, Thursday: This is undoubtedly one of the most exciting days of the trip, we’re going to watch the majestic Apharwat Peak at a height of 14,403 ft.! Take the longest gondola ride in
Asia (till the first point), a suspended cable car that lets your eyes gleam over a town laid in
white snow below you. Ski lesson, sleigh ride or snowmobiles; adventure’s calling and we must
go! Evening, transfer to Srinagar. Some days are unforgettable. Such as the day you live on a
houseboat! A houseboat with authentic Kashmiri woodwork is ready for your welcome on the
offbeat (and semi frozen!) Nigeen Lake(MM&Co. special). O/N Srinagar
Feb 16th, Friday: What’s a better way to conclude this trip than road trip with your new friends? We’ll be singing, playing games and making our way nice and early to Aharbal Falls (an MM&Co. special). You shall see a stunningly blue waterfall decked with snow! Evening, a shikhara boat ride for the complete Kashmiri charm to hug you. Get a souvenir to take back home, sip a kahwa, dress in a pheran. Later, return to our cozy houseboat and let’s huddle up for talking the night away before we leave <3 O/N Srinagar
Feb 17th, Saturday: Hugs and goodbyes until we meet again. Fly out of Srinagar airport any time after 9am.
