Top Places In Kashmir

No Kashmir trip is complete without a night on a Dal Lake houseboat and a sunrise Shikara ride. Gulmarg offers the world-famous gondola ride up to Apharwat Peak, while Pahalgam is the gateway to the Betaab and Aru valleys. Sonmarg, the "meadow of gold," is ideal for a day trip to the Thajiwas Glacier. Don't miss the Mughal Gardens in Srinagar — Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh are especially beautiful in spring.
