Srinagar
Get ready to be enchanted with our Kashmir Backpacking Winter Edition Tour Package in the winter wonderland of Kashmir! Are you ready to kick your everyday, mundane routine and find yourself in the middle of a fairytale-like snow-draped paradise? Just imagine being in the middle of snowy landscapes while surrounded by mighty peaks, snow-laden and blending into the warm hospitality of the Kashmiri culture. This isn't a holiday; it's an adventure that awakens your senses and brings back moments that stay with you forever.
Our Kashmir Winter Package is an all-exciting expedition to the most stunning locations of Kashmir during their most magical season. From staying in a cozy houseboat, to the partially frozen Dal Lake, Srinagar sets the tone for a soulful winter exploration where one watches the world go by in a serene and misty setting. The steaming cups of Kahwa tea, complemented by the view of frosted Chinars, hail your wake-up call with all its heart. Proceed to Gulmarg, the skiing paradise of Asia, where snow as soft as flour and world class slopes await you. Be an experienced skier or just going for the first time; our guides are there to make every moment of your stay on the slopes.
But this package is much more than that. Imagine sledding down the snow-laden meadows of Pahalgam, getting an adrenaline-pumping ride on a snow-paradise in Sonamarg, or climbing up to frozen waterfalls that glisten like diamonds in the winter sun. Feel the joy of creating a snowman at the foot of the Himalayas or enjoy friendly snowball fights with breathtaking mountain vistas for a backdrop.
