Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in Srinagar - Srinagar Local Sightseeing

Arrival in Srinagar: Welcome to Srinagar, the enchanting "Lake City." Upon your arrival at Srinagar Airport, you will begin your journey with a warm welcome.

City Tour: Start with a visit to the Shankracharya Temple, which is situated on the highest hill of Srinagar, offering panoramic views of the city and Dal Lake. Following this, explore the renowned Mughal Gardens—Chashmashahi, Nishat, and Shalimar—each garden representing the Mughal Emperors' concept of paradise. These serene spots are now popular for picnics and leisure.

Handicraft Shopping: Later in the day, visit a local handicraft shop, where you can browse through and purchase exquisite handcrafted items such as shawls, jackets, bed covers, paper mache products, and carpets.

Evening Stroll: Conclude the day with a leisurely stroll along the banks of Dal Lake, soaking in the serene ambiance and exploring the vibrant local markets. Overnight stay at the hotel in Srinagar.

Journey to Sonamarg: Embark on a full-day excursion to Sonamarg, known as the 'Meadow of Gold'. Located at an altitude of 2,743 meters above sea level, Sonamarg is the last stop in Kashmir before entering the Ladakh region.

Activities in Sonamarg: The fast-flowing Sindh River makes Sonamarg popular for trout and masher fishing during the summer. For those seeking adventure, you can opt for a pony ride to one of the glaciers, where you can enjoy fun activities in the snow and ice. (Pony rides and other activities are optional and at your own expense.)

Visit to Doodhpathri: Today, you will visit Doodhpathri, a small yet stunning hill station in Kashmir. Set in a bowl-shaped alpine valley at an altitude of 2,730 meters, Doodhpathri is surrounded by snow-clad mountains and lush meadows of Pine, Fir, and Deodar.

Exploring Doodhpathri: Doodhpathri, meaning ‘Valley of Milk,’ is a name derived from the milky-white waters of the rivers and streams that flow through it. It is a captivating tourist destination, offering opportunities for horse riding, paragliding, and visiting the Shaaliganga River. (All activities are optional and at your own expense.)

Drive to Gulmarg: After breakfast, set out for Gulmarg, the 'Meadow of Flowers'. The route from Srinagar to Gulmarg is mesmerizing, with breathtaking views along the way.

Exploring Gulmarg: Gulmarg is internationally renowned for skiing and snowboarding, making it a winter sports paradise. During the British Raj, it was a popular hill resort for Europeans. In Gulmarg, you can visit the 18-hole Golf Course and the scenic Drung Valley waterfall. Snow activities, including skiing, snow skating, and the Gondola ride (Asia’s largest cable car ride), are also available. (All activities are optional and at your own expense.) Overnight stay in Srinagar. 

Drive to Pahalgam: Early in the morning, depart for Pahalgam, known as the 'Valley of Shepherds'. Located at the confluence of the Lidder River and Sheeshnag Lake, Pahalgam is surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

En Route Attractions: On your way, visit the Awantipura Ruins, an ancient 1,100-year-old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, built by King Awantivarman.

Exploring Pahalgam: Once in Pahalgam, take time to enjoy the natural beauty or take a short walk to Baisaran, a charming village nestled in pine and fir forests offering splendid views. Return to your hotel in the evening for an overnight stay in Pahalgam.

Morning in Pahalgam: After breakfast, continue your exploration of Pahalgam, taking in any remaining sights or activities.

Return to Srinagar: In the afternoon, drive back to Srinagar, where you can enjoy a complimentary Shikara ride on Dal Lake. Relax and unwind during your overnight stay at a deluxe houseboat in Srinagar.

Return Journey: After breakfast at the houseboat, you will be transferred to Srinagar Airport to catch your flight back home. Depart with cherished memories of your Kashmir tour.

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. The itine (Read More)rary was well-planned, yet they were accommodating to our requests for changes. The choice of hotels was impeccable, offering comfortable and convenient stays. Our driver was not only skilled but also had a pleasant demeanor, enhancing our overall travel experience. What impressed us most was their constant availability and willingness to assist with any concerns or modifications.

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
