Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Jammu to Anantnag via Banihal Tunnel
  • The martand temple kashmir package begins at Jammu Railway Station or Airport where our vehicle is waiting. The drive north from Jammu to Anantnag covers approximately 200 kilometres and takes around 3.5 to 4 hours routing through Udhampur and the Banihal Tunnel — the 8.45-kilometre road tunnel through the Pir Panjal range that connects the Jammu plains to the Kashmir Valley without the old Banihal Pass climb. The tunnel exit puts the vehicle in Qazigund at approximately 1,690 metres and Anantnag is approximately 30 kilometres further north through the lower Jhelum valley. Anantnag sits at approximately 1,577 metres and is the district headquarters for South Kashmir — a town with functional hotel infrastructure that serves as the base for this martand temple kashmir package. Overnight at Anantnag.
  • The Martand Sun Temple sits approximately 7 kilometres northeast of Anantnag on the Mattan plateau — a drive of around 20 minutes from the town centre. The plateau sits at approximately 1,798 metres above the valley floor and the view from the temple complex across the Kashmir Valley is open in all four directions without obstruction — the Zabarwan hills to the north, the Pir Panjal range to the south, the valley floor stretching to the west. The ruins themselves cover a large rectangular courtyard of carved stone columns with the central shrine base at the centre — 84 subsidiary shrine bases arranged around the inner courtyard wall, the column carving a mix of Aryan and Greco-Roman design elements that reflect both the Karkota dynasty's artistic programme and the trade connections of 8th century Kashmir. This martand temple kashmir package gives the site a full morning — early arrival before the day visitors come from Srinagar is when the plateau silence is at its fullest. The afternoon moves south to Verinag — approximately 30 kilometres from Anantnag, taking around 45 minutes. The Verinag Spring sits at the base of the Pir Panjal in a Mughal garden built by Emperor Jahangir in 1620 — an octagonal stone tank of spring water so clear and deep that the floor is visible from the stone parapet above. Overnight at Anantnag.
  • The drive from Anantnag to Achabal covers approximately 12 kilometres in around 20 minutes. Achabal Garden is a Mughal terraced garden built in the 17th century — a series of water channels, cascading fountains and plane tree shade that Empress Nur Jahan is credited with commissioning on the basis of a natural spring that feeds the garden's water system from the Pir Panjal above. The garden is smaller and quieter than the Nishat and Shalimar gardens of Srinagar and receives a fraction of the visitor footfall that the Dal Lake gardens carry. This martand temple kashmir package includes Achabal as the Day 3 morning anchor — the water channels and the chinar tree cover in spring and autumn give the garden a character that the more photographed Srinagar gardens, with their lakeside positions, do not produce. The drive from Achabal north to Srinagar covers approximately 58 kilometres in around 1.5 hours. The Srinagar afternoon is for the old city — Lal Chowk, the craft lanes and the Jhelum riverfront. Overnight in Srinagar.
  • The final morning of the martand sun temple kashmir package is in Srinagar. Groups with afternoon or evening departures have the morning for a final stop at Lal Chowk for saffron, Kashmiri dry fruit or the woollen market before the airport drop. For a group returning from the Acharbal Garden to the Srinagar old city carries a specific contrast — the dense deodar canopy and the forest silence of Day 3 give the city street level a particular texture on the return. Our vehicle drops at Srinagar Airport/Railway Station for the return flight/train.
