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
Dec 25th, Monday: Land at Srinagar airport by or before 12pm and then board the magic bus for

Dal Lake, sink into another era? O/N Srinagar
Dec 26th, Tuesday : Let’s go to Pahalgam! Head to the scenic valley where Lidder river gushes.
kissing the pine trees to the wooden huts. En route a roadtrip to stop at Aharbal Falls (an MM&Co.

evening walk, ready to dip your feet in the blue chilly water?! O/N Pahalgam
Dec 27th, Wednesday: 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

Dec 28th, Thursday: This morning you’re going to wake up beaming because we’re headed to

new friends? Time to get, set, attack! O/N Gulmarg

the majestic Apharwat Peak at a height of 14,403 ft.! We’re going to 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. Take a ski lesson, enjoy a sleigh ride or taste the thrill of snow cycling! Adventure’s
calling and we must go! O/N Gulmarg
Dec 30th, Saturday: Some days are unforgettable. Such as the day you live on a houseboat! (a

let’s have a maddd last night! O/N Srinagar. O/N Srinagar
