Begin your journey straight from Srinagar to Aru Valley.

On the way, stop for handmade bats in Awantipora, taste fresh apple juice at a local orchard, and enjoy a trout meal by a hidden stream.

End your day sipping Kahwa with locals in one of Kashmir’s most soulful valleys.

Ride horseback through deodar forests alongside the Lidder River, reaching Lidderwat—the quiet heart of the mountains.

Return by dusk to Aru, where the sky slowly fills with stars.

Taste Himalayan cheeses made with ancient techniques.

Take a detour to Aharbal Falls and dive into a secret glacial pool.

Reach Yousmarg by evening, and lie beneath a sky few ever see so clearly.

Trek through pine-framed trails in Yousmarg, then head to Gulmarg with stops at Pampore’s saffron fields and the pashmina weaving looms of Kanihama.

A final pause at Drung Waterfalls before arriving in the high meadows of Gulmarg.

Ride the Gondola to near-cloud heights and trek to Alpather Lake, frozen or glistening depending on the season.

ATV across Gulmarg’s wildflower fields, then return to Srinagar for a final golden-hour Shikara ride on Dal Lake.

Spend a day in Doodhpathri—a valley of sheep, rivers, and wild grass.

Return to Srinagar for a food trail that feeds the soul—Rogan Josh, harissa, and Kashmiri bread from homes that open up with flavour and warmth.

At sunrise, glide through Dal Lake’s floating vegetable market—where time has never hurried.

Sip Kahwa one last time before you fly, Kashmir tucked gently into your breath.
