After breakfast in the morning, begin your Kashmir tour towards Gulmarg. The drive past colorful villages and rice fields offers an insight into the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir.

Gulmarg, one of the most beautiful hill stations in the Kashmir Valley, is also called the Meadow of Flowers. It boasts the world’s highest golf course and is famous for winter sports like skiing.

You can enjoy a Gondola ride (cable car; at your own cost) from Gulmarg to Khilanmarg. The 8-minute ropeway ride will take you past colorful shepherd hutments to the lower ridge of the Apharwat Peak. From here, you can capture stunning photos of the nearby mountain ranges standing tall like sentinels guarding the natural beauty of the Kashmir Valley.

After spending time at the peak, descend back to the Gulmarg base.

At the end of the day, return to Srinagar for an overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, drive to Pahalgam. Situated at an altitude of 2,133 meters, it is also known as the Valley of Shepherds or Trekker's Paradise.

Pahalgam is renowned as a prominent destination for the Indian film industry. En route, visit the Saffron Fields and Awantipur Ruins, an 1100-year-old temple of Lord Vishnu built by King Awantivarman. Witness the beautiful countryside and lush rice fields along the way.

Upon arrival in Pahalgam, transfer to the hotel. After lunch, depart for an excursion to:

• Chandanwadi (at your own cost), the starting point of the Amarnath Yatra.

This valley was renamed after the Bollywood movie Betaab, which was shot here. Earlier known as Hajan Valley, it was renamed after the movie’s release.
