A 3-day trip to Kashmir, while short, allows you to experience the essence of its beauty. Here are four detailed itineraries, each with a slightly different focus, for a 3-day (or 3-night, 4-day) trip.

This is the most common and comprehensive itinerary, packing the highlights of the three main destinations. It's fast-paced but gives you a taste of everything.
