Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Srinagar

  From Delhi, arrive at Srinagar. Upon arriving at Srinagar, meet and greet with our representative and then check in to your houseboat. These British Raj inspired houseboats, add a unique character to the romantic setting of Srinagar. With their intricately carved cedar, bedrooms and bath, dining room, lounge and a deck open to the lake and the Himalayas beyond. Kashmiri salesmen sail up to the boat to bring you local arts, crafts and produce ranging from shawls to papier mache and from saffron to cherries. Most delightful are the flower men with their sleek shikaras bursting with loud chrysanthemums, deep red velveteen Kashmiri cockscomb, marigolds, roses and narcissi, all in full bloom in the winters.
  As the day comes to a close, you can witness the Kashmiri side of Himalayas turning from blue to rose and then to lavender in the last light from the edge of your houseboat that floats on the tranquil lake.

  An excursion to Sonmarg awaits you today. Sonmarg is one of the smallest resorts in Kashmir, lying in the heart of a gorgeous valley carved by the river Sindh. Known as Golden Meadow, this place means golden path thanks to the bloom of yellow crocuses that fill this valley in the spring. This picturesque Sind valley has the densely populated slopes and many varieties of alpine flowers as the backdrop on one side.
  A gushing river is the highlight of this meadow, flowing down from snowy heights into the dense woodlands. As the Glaciers come down as a stream from the Himalayas, there are many camping sites around the thick forest cover of Sycamore, alpine flowers, silver birch, fir and pine. These dense forests are the perfect covers for trekking.
