Perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those craving a soulful escape, this journey unveils the magic of Kashmir at every turn.
Nishat Bagh, meaning "Garden of Joy," is a stunning Mughal garden situated on the eastern side of Dal Lake. Built in 1633 by Asif Khan, the brother-in-law of Emperor Jahangir, the garden offers terraced lawns, cascading fountains, and vibrant flowerbeds, all set against the backdrop of the Zabarwan Mountains. Its 12 terraces represent the 12 zodiac signs and provide panoramic views of the lake and surrounding beauty.
Commissioned by Emperor Jahangir for his wife Nur Jahan in 1619, Shalimar Bagh is the largest of the Mughal gardens in Kashmir. Often referred to as the “Abode of Love,” it is designed in the classic Persian style with flowing water channels, manicured lawns, and symmetrical layouts. The garden is a serene retreat reflecting Mughal architectural brilliance.
Perched on the Shankaracharya Hill, this ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and offers panoramic views of Srinagar city and Dal Lake. Believed to have been built around the 9th century, it is named after the great philosopher Adi Shankaracharya, who visited the site. The temple is not just a religious destination but also a significant historical and architectural landmark.
This charming Mughal garden, built in 1632 by Ali Mardan Khan under the orders of Emperor Shah Jahan, is famous for its natural spring (Chashme). The garden is smaller but exquisitely maintained, featuring terraced lawns, fountains, and pavilions. It is renowned for the medicinal properties of its spring water and its peaceful ambiance.
Thajiwas Glacier is a spectacular glacier located just 7 km from Sonamarg. Accessible by trekking or pony rides, the glacier remains snow-clad even in summer and is a popular destination for snow activities like sledding and skiing. Surrounded by pine forests and alpine meadows, it’s a favorite among nature lovers and adventure seekers.
The Gulmarg Gondola is one of the highest and longest cable cars in the world, ascending to a height of 3,979 meters (Phase II - Apharwat Peak).
