On arrival at Srinagar airport. Our representative will meet you to pick you up and transfer to your hotel. Welcome to Srinagar, Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is renowned for its stunning gardens, serene lakes, and vibrant culture. . After rest leave for sightseeing of Mughal Gardens: Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. These gardens, built by Mughal emperors, showcase the grandeur of Mughal horticulture with their terraced lawns, cascading fountains, and vibrant flowerbeds. In the afternoon, head to the Shankar Acharya Temple on Shankar Acharya Hill. This ancient temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, offers panoramic views of Srinagar and Dal Lake. It’s a place of both worship and historical significance. In the evening proceed for a Complimentary Shikara Ride in Dal Lake. You can explore the vibrant floating markets where local vendors sell various things like flowers and vegetables. One of the popular floating markets in Dal Lake is Meena Bazar. Meena Bazar lies in the middle of Dal Lake, where you can shop for Kashmiri handicrafts, carpets, paper machine items, saffron, and other traditional Kashmiri items. Later return to Hotel for Dinner and Over Night Stay.

After breakfast, drive to Gulmarg (approx. 51 km, 1.5-2 hours).  Gulmarg is Approx. 2730 Meters above the sea level and also Known as (“MEADOW OF FLOWERS”).  Enroute, enjoy views of rolling hills and rice fields. Upon arrival, proceed for the highlight: a 1-hour Gondola cable car ride (At Own Cost). The ride ascends in two phases—Kongdoori (Phase 1) and further to Apharwat (Phase 2, subject to weather/operation) — the breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the lush valleys below make it a must-visit attraction. If you're visiting in winter, this area becomes a skiing paradise. Kongdoori or Khilanmarg is a beautiful valley offering panoramic Himalayan views. In summer, the valley is covered with colorful wildflowers, while winter transforms into a skiing destination. It's an excellent spot for photography and enjoying the crisp mountain air. Once you reach the second phase of the gondola ride, you will find yourself at Apharwat Peak, standing at approximately 4,200 meters. This snow-covered peak remains blanketed in white for most of the year, making it an ideal spot for skiing, snowboarding, and photography. You might witness the frozen Alpather Lake nearby.
