Start your day with a refreshing breakfast at your hotel/houseboat before heading out to explore the timeless Mughal-era landmarks of Srinagar.

Your first visit of the day will be to Shalimar Bagh, built in 1619 by Mughal Emperor Jahangir as a symbol of love for his queen, Nur Jahan. Wander through its beautifully laid-out terraced lawns, ancient chinar trees, flowing water channels, and serene pavilions that reflect the grandeur of Mughal architecture.

Next, proceed to Chashme Shahi, a charming terraced garden known for its natural spring. The garden’s cascading levels, refreshing water pools, and surrounding greenery create a calming and picturesque atmosphere.

Continue your sightseeing with a visit to the Hazratbal Shrine, one of the most revered religious sites in Kashmir.

After completing your sightseeing for the day, you will return to your hotel/houseboat. The rest of the evening is at leisure — you may relax, take a quiet lakeside walk, or enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Overnight stay in Srinagar.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel/houseboat and begin your scenic journey to Pahalgam, also known as the Valley of Shepherds. As you drive through the countryside, witness the charming saffron fields of Pampore — a sight especially captivating during the blooming season when the fields turn shades of delicate purple.

Upon reaching Pahalgam, begin your sightseeing with a visit to the enchanting Betaab Valley, named after the Bollywood film Betaab that was filmed here. Surrounded by lush meadows, snow-capped mountains, and the crystal-clear waters of the Lidder River, the valley offers a perfect backdrop for photography and nature walks.

Next, proceed to Chandanwari, located about 7 km from Pahalgam. This serene valley marks the starting point of the revered Amarnath Yatra. During the winter months, the area is covered in snow, offering opportunities for snow sledging and capturing breathtaking glacier views.

Continue your excursion to Aru Valley, a peaceful and picturesque village surrounded by pristine alpine meadows, dense pine forests, and tranquil streams. Besides being a base camp for treks to Kolahoi Glacier and Tarsar Lake, the valley also offers activities such as horse riding, skiing (in winters), and heli-skiing.

After a full day of exploring the natural beauty of Pahalgam and its valleys, check into your hotel.
