Kashmir

Kashmir—revered as “Paradise on Earth”—is India’s ultimate destination for those seeking spellbinding natural beauty, a rich tapestry of culture, and soul-stirring adventure. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Kashmir enchants travelers year-round with its scenic valleys, tranquil lakes, snowy peaks, and vibrant traditions, making every journey with Deccan Trips & Travels unforgettable.

Iconic Landmarks and Natural Marvels

Srinagar, the crown jewel of Kashmir, invites you to float upon the mirror-like waters of Dal Lake or Nigeen Lake in a traditional Shikara boat, gaze at the floral carpets of Asia’s largest Tulip Garden, and wander historic Mughal Gardens like Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh. Explore the ancient Shankaracharya Temple, perched on a hill with panoramic views over the city. Nights here often include a stay aboard beautifully carved wooden houseboats that capture the timeless romance of the valley.

Charming hillside towns like Gulmarg—an acclaimed ski resort and home to Asia’s highest cable car—Sonmarg with its glacier treks, and Pahalgam’s green meadows are just short drives away. Betaab Valley, Aru Valley, and Yusmarg are haven-like retreats for trekkers and those seeking untouched beauty, while Wular Lake and Dachigam National Park draw birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Rich Culture, Heritage, and Spirituality

Kashmir’s history comes alive in its grand mosques, ancient temples, and Sufi shrines. Visit the venerated Hazratbal Shrine, the marble Jama Masjid, and the legendary Amarnath Cave visited by thousands on its annual pilgrimage. Local crafts—Pashmina shawls, hand-knotted carpets, and papier-mâché art—bear witness to extraordinary skill and artistry passed down through generations.

Adventure, Festivals, and Flavors

Adventure calls in every season: ski in Gulmarg, trek the Great Lakes, fish or raft down pristine rivers, or simply picnic in a daffodil field. Kashmir’s festivals, including Tulip Festival and vibrant cultural fairs, are filled with music, dance, and local delicacies—like aromatic Rogan Josh, steaming Kahwa tea, and freshly baked breads.
