Your journey will begin with a drive from Srinagar airport to the hotel and after that sightseeing into Mughal Gardens.

After checking into the hotel we will head out to visit the Mughal gardens which include Shalimar, Nishat, the botanical gardens, Chashme Shahi, Pari Mahal, and the Hazratbal. You will rest and relax for the remainder of the day at the hotel and prepare for your trip tomorrow.
Grab breakfast and head for a day of excursion to Sonmarg. The Sindh Valley during this time of the year is full of blooming flowers and is surrounded by high mountains on all side. The view is just spectacular and is a great opportunity for every tourist to click some amazing picture. Now we will take part in some adventure sports activities as we go for a sled ride on the Thajiwas glacier which is then followed up with some horse riding. After the conclusion of the day, we will head back to our hotel in Srinagar and crash for the night.
Start your day early with some breakfast in bed. We will then start our journey to Doodhpathri which is approximately 40 kilometers away from Sonmarg. We will be driving there. Upon arrival, you will be able to meet the natives of Kashmir, common people who are mostly shepherds. There is a small river which flows through the valley which supports fresh and cold glacier water. Spend some time on the river bank as we leave Doodhpathri in the evening and head back to our hotel in Sonmarg.
After breakfast in the morning, check-out from the hotel and we will begin our journey towards Gulmarg. At Gulmarg, there is a ski slope which is one of the best in the world and the location also occupies the highest golf course located at 2,730 meters above sea level. You can opt for Gondola cable car ride (on direct payment basis). This ride will take you to the Afarwatt Mountain range. Here you will be able to witness and experience the true beauty of Kashmir as you will get a bird’s eye view of the colorful valley. We will make our way to the hotel after the sunset and retire for the night after dinner.
After breakfast, we will begin our journey to Pahalgam (The valley of shepherds). Here we will visit the saffron fields and a 1000-year-old monument which was built by King Avantivarman. Here we will also get a glimpse of the countryside of Kashmir which is extremely beautiful and drive across the pine forests. Upon arrival at Pahalgam, we will check into the hotel and later on during the day take a walk down Lidder stream.
We will move to Srinagar on the 6th day of your tour. We will then visit the momentous Shankaracharya Temple on the grandiose Mount Sulaiman. During the evening, you can enjoy the heavenly Shikara ride on the tranquil Dal Lake. We will then retire back to our hotels for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, we will take a 2-hour drive to Yusmarg. Along the way, you can witness Grassy pastures, pine trees in the dense forests where the great Himalayas Mountains cover the background of the location. The trio will surely blow your mind away as the sheer beauty of this place cannot be expressed and explained with words. Upon your return to Srinagar, you will now be checking into a houseboat instead, where you will spend the night after the consumption of dinner.
