Kashmir lives up to its title of "heaven on earth": shikara rides on Dal Lake, snow at Gulmarg, pine-covered valleys in Pahalgam and meadows that glow with flowers in spring. Easy flights from Lucknow make it one of our most-loved domestic holidays.
Kashmir's highlights
- Srinagar: a night on a traditional houseboat, a shikara ride on Dal Lake and the Mughal Gardens.
- Gulmarg: the Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world, with snow for much of the year and skiing in winter.
- Pahalgam: Betaab Valley, Aru Valley and Chandanwari along the Lidder river.
- Sonamarg: the "meadow of gold", with the Thajiwas Glacier.
- Doodhpathri: a quiet meadow of streams and grassland, away from the crowds.
- Vaishno Devi: combine your Kashmir holiday with a pilgrimage via Katra.
