Stillness & Snowfall – A Slow Journey Through Kashmir

You land in Srinagar, but it feels more like arriving in a dream. Let the mountains greet you as you settle into your handpicked stay quiet, charming, and cradled by nature. No rush today. Just deep breaths and slower steps.

As the evening unfolds, step onto a Shikara, and let the waters of Dal Lake carry you gently into golden hour. The light softens, the sky turns molten, and everything noise, thought, time falls away.

It’s not just a boat ride. It’s your first conversation with Kashmir. Overnight in Srinagar, under skies that feel close enough to touch.

Start your morning slow in Srinagar, letting the city’s rhythm ease you into the day. Then hit the road toward Gulmarg, with two beautiful pauses along the way. First, at Kanihama, where master artisans weave stories into Pashmina shawls, each thread a tribute to time and tradition.

Next, stop at Drung Waterfalls in Tangmarg a breathtaking cascade that turns to ice in winter and sings with power in summer.

By evening, settle into something truly special: a visit to a local trout farm. Cast your line, catch your own trout, and enjoy it cooked fresh the traditional way. Simple. Honest. Unbelievably good. Overnight in Gulmarg, the mountains standing quietly around you.

Wake up to the magical views of the sprawling meadows of Gulmarg, where the morning mist still lingers and silence stretches far. Begin with a slow, thoughtful walk through the meadows, breathing in the crisp mountain air. Then board the iconic Gulmarg Gondola to the 2nd phase, rising above tree lines and into alpine wonder.

Carry a packed lunch with you there’s no better dining room than this. Sit at the top, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and endless green below, and let your meal be shared with the wind and silence.

In the evening, hop on an ATV ride and explore more of Gulmarg’s vastness, or simply stay in, cup in hand, watching the day fade from your resort’s window. Overnight in Gulmarg.

Drive back to Srinagar, leaving behind the meadows of Gulmarg and descending into the valley once more. Begin with a visit to the Shankaracharya Temple, perched high above the city. From here, take in sweeping views of Srinagar and the majestic Zabarwan Hills a perspective that quiets the mind.

Then step into a Kashmiri home for an authentic local meal, lovingly prepared and shared. This isn’t just food it’s family, tradition, and stories passed down in spices and smoke.

In the evening, glide through the floating markets of Dal Lake, where shopping happens on boats and every item carries a tale. Overnight in Srinagar.

Enjoy a relaxed morning in Srinagar no alarms, no plans, just the quiet rhythm of a valley you’ve come to know. As you head to the airport, let the final glimpses of Dal Lake, distant peaks, and bustling streets imprint themselves on your memory.

You leave with more than souvenirs. You carry the scent of saffron, the echo of rivers, the warmth of Kashmiri kitchens, and the stillness of meadows. This isn’t goodbye. It’s until next time.
