About Kashmir:
The state of Jammu & Kashmir has been serving ecstatic views of vast green meadows and tall snow-clad mountains merging with the clouds for ages. Right from the Mughal Emperors to Bollywood directors have been awestruck by Kashmir’s scenic beauty. Treat yourself to a Kashmiri chai as you sip admiring the serene, still Dal Lake. The capital city of Srinagar along with Sonmarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam form an expedient circle that captures the diverse charm of Kashmir. From Gulmarg’s icy cold snow-covered mountains to Pahalgam’s humble abode of sheep and shepherds, Kashmir has an abundance of nature and simplicity. Despite the challenging Himalayan terrain, it has become possible to reach Srinagar with almost all kinds of transport. The nearest railway station is Jammu Tawi, 300 km from Srinagar. If Sonamrg is a meadow of Gold then Gulmarg is a meadow of flowers when, on a clear day you can witness Nanga Parbat in one direction and Srinagar in another. Enjoy a friendly chat with the local shepherds in Pahalgam and lastly capture the picturesque scenes of Sonmarg by the Sindh River. The places included in this Kashmir circle trip are less than 100 km from Srinagar, making them conveniently accessible via private vehicles or local bus transport. Visiting these hamlets feels like living in a painting where every corner exudes a different shade, light, and a story to tell.
