Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Srinagar Arrival and Transfer to Pahalgam | A Quiet Little Town Adorned with a blanket of Pine Trees and Crystal-Clear Rivers
Meet upon arrival at the airport and drive to Pahalgam (Valley of Shepherds). En route, visit saffron fields, Awantipura ruins (1,100-year-old temple of Lord Vishnu built by King Awantiwareman), see the beautiful countryside, and enjoy views of numerous rice fields. Drive through the pine forest. You may choose to go river rafting in the gushing waters of the Lidder River. You can also visit Betaab Valley and Chandanwari or take a horse ride to Baisaran meadows. Walk through the charming meadows to reach Aru Valley and Betaab Valley, which gained popularity after featuring in many Bollywood movies. Take a walk on the famous snow bridge at Chandwani, which is a base of the annual Amarnath Ji Yatra. In the evening, check in to the hotel for an overnight stay in Pahalgam.
After breakfast, drive to Srinagar. In the afternoon, join a sightseeing trip to Mughal Gardens, visiting Nishat Bagh (Abode of Pleasure) built by Asif Khan, brother-in-law of Jehangir, in 1632 AD, and Shalimar Bagh (Abode of Love) built by Jehangir for his wife, Empress Noor Jehan. All the gardens are situated on the banks of Dal Lake, with the Zabarwan Mountains in the background. Drive to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in Srinagar.
After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (Meadow of Flowers), located 2,730 meters above sea level. The distance of 60 kilometers will be covered in about 2.5 hours. Gulmarg has one of the best ski slopes in the world and the highest golf course, featuring 18 holes. You may also see Nanga Parbat if the weather permits. The view en route from Tangmarg to Gulmarg is fascinating. You can also take a short trek to Khilangmarg, which can be covered in about 3 hours. Enjoy sled riding on the snow, and chair lifts for mountain rides are also available. Overnight stay in a Srinagar hotel.
After breakfast, drive to Sonamarg (Meadows of Gold). The distance of about 83 kilometers will be covered in approximately 2.5 hours. Sonamarg lies in the Sindh Valley, adorned with flowers and surrounded by mountains. It is also the base for interesting treks to high-altitude Himalayan lakes. Enjoy horse riding up to the Thajwas Glacier and sled riding on the snow. In the evening, enjoy a 1-hour Shikara ride on Dal Lake, where you can take in the majestic views of the surrounding mountains from the Shikara. Do not forget to admire the beautiful carpet of lotus flowers on Dal Lake. After the ride, return to your houseboat for dinner and an overnight stay.
The driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you on an excursion to Doodhpathri. Stroll through the panoramic 'Valley of Milk' and marvel at the vast green meadows, where rivers seem like milky streams. After the sightseeing, proceed to Srinagar Airport to board your flight back home, carrying beautiful memories of your Kashmir tour.

Note: Please book evening flight tickets from Srinagar to allow time to visit Doodhpathri.

What's Good: We started our journey from Kochi. We visited Munnar, Thekkady, Kovalam kanyakumari and Alleppey and back to Kochi for our return flight. Mr Fahim makes our whole tour plan after (Read More)consultation with me and during our tour he always get in touch with us. He is a excellent tour planner. Our Driver Mr Firoj was also very nice person. He guided us during our trip. Thanks to Fahim and Firoj for making our Kerala Tour so memorable. Thanks to Holidify also because they connected us with Mr Fahim of Corbett Step Hospitality...

A Seamless Holiday Experience with Aswamedham Holidays Aswamedham Holidays truly exceeded our expectations. Their commitment to transparency and flexibility made our trip incredibly smooth.

Pratibha's Trip to Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Varkala

Resort and hotel suggestions to suit my budget and strategically selected closer to places of interest was truly 5 star service from the agent. My solo trip was made safe and comfortable. Great sugge (Read More)stions were made to choose places to visit to make the trip fun, enjoyable and memorable. This awesome trip in a very long time was fun and refreshing. The paradise in Kerala will transcend your soul to haven. People are welcoming and friendly. I recommend Varkala tranquil beeches and Kovalam backwaters for the ultimate fun experience. Gods Own Country’s Kitchen is recommended for some great food and live music on the Varkala cliff point. If south temple architecture peeks your interest, then there are a few gems from ancient times hidden here to explore maintaining sanctity and faith in true form. Solo travellers pay couples rate which can be heavy on the purse. South India need to warm up to the idea that solo traveller numbers are increasing, male and female alike and in all age groups. Not only the cost of travel but people’s outlook need to change. Most of the temples here are only for believers in faith. Kanyakumari was crowded during the Diwali break. The seashore here is only to soak in the view. Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple darshan was divine however fleeting it maybe, but the mandapa which adorns the beautiful sculptures is out of bounds for devotees. The Garbhagudi could be well lit, so the devotees can properly catch a glimpse of the lord and be blessed. Since architecture is out of bounds recommend special entry for swift darshan.

Very good tour and travel service
