Kashmir

Embrace the Heavenly Beauty of Kashmir with World Tour and Travels

Kashmir is not just a destination; it is poetry written in snow, water, and pine. Often called "Paradise on Earth" (Jannat-e-Kashmir), this valley in the northernmost tip of India is a landscape of unparalleled beauty. Here, majestic Chinar trees turn crimson in autumn, frozen lakes shimmer under the winter sun, and tulip gardens burst into a riot of colors in spring. It is a place where time stands still on a floating houseboat and where the melody of the Santoor fills the crisp mountain air.

Beyond its breathtaking vistas, Kashmir is a land of warm hospitality, rich Sufi heritage, and exquisite craftsmanship. From the saffron fields of Pampore to the shepherd valleys of Pahalgam, every corner tells a story. When you travel with World Tour and Travels, you experience the true essence of Kashmir—safe, serene, and soulful. We guide you beyond the headlines to the heart of the valley, ensuring your trip is filled with nothing but wonder and warmth.

Why Visit Kashmir?

Kashmir is a year-round wonder. In winter, Gulmarg becomes India’s premier ski resort, covered in a thick blanket of powdery snow. In summer, Srinagar and Pahalgam offer a cool retreat with blooming gardens and flowing rivers. It is the only place in India where you can stay on a luxury houseboat on Dal Lake and wake up to flower sellers rowing by your window. The cuisine, Wazwan, is a royal feast that no food lover should miss.

With World Tour and Travels, your Kashmiri dream is realized with perfection. We handle all logistics, from secure transport to houseboat bookings, ensuring you can soak in the beauty without a worry.

Top Attractions to Tour in Kashmir

The valley is dotted with jewels of nature and culture. Here are the must-visit spots that define the magic of Kashmir.

1. Srinagar & Dal Lake

The summer capital of J&K, Srinagar is the soul of the valley. The iconic Dal Lake is famous for its Shikara rides and floating vegetable markets. A stay in a traditional cedar-wood houseboat is a quintessential Kashmiri experience. Visit the Mughal Gardens—Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi—which are masterpieces of Persian horticulture. The Shankaracharya Temple, perched on a hill, offers a panoramic view of the entire city.

2. Gulmarg (Meadow of Flowers)

Located just 50 km from Srinagar, Gulmarg is a winter wonderland and a summer paradise. It is famous for the Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world, taking you up to Apharwat Peak at 13,780 feet. In winter, it is a hub for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, the meadows are carpeted with wildflowers, making it perfect for trekking and golfing at the world’s highest golf course.

3. Pahalgam (Valley of Shepherds)

A scenic drive from Srinagar takes you to Pahalgam, located on the banks of the Lidder River. It is the starting point of the holy Amarnath Yatra. The town is famous for Betaab Valley (named after a Bollywood movie) and Aru Valley, both offering stunning views of pine forests and snow-clad peaks. A pony ride to Baisaran (Mini Switzerland) is a must for its lush green meadows.

4. Sonamarg (Meadow of Gold)

True to its name, Sonamarg turns golden in autumn. It is the gateway to Ladakh and is known for its imposing glaciers. The Thajiwas Glacier is accessible by a short trek or pony ride and offers snow even in summer. It is a base for high-altitude treks to the Great Lakes of Kashmir, like Vishansar and Krishansar.

5. Yusmarg

For those seeking solitude, Yusmarg is a hidden gem. It is believed to be the place where Jesus Christ once visited. The meadows here are vast and untouched, surrounded by dense forests of pine and fir. A trek to Nilnag Lake with its blue waters is a refreshing experience away from the tourist crowds.

6. Gurez Valley

Located near the Line of Control (LoC), Gurez was once part of the ancient Silk Route. It is an offbeat destination known for the majestic Habba Khatoon Peak, named after the famous poetess. The Kishenganga River flows through this valley, and the unique culture of the Dard Shin tribe adds to its mystique.

7. Doodhpathri (Valley of Milk)

A relatively new addition to Kashmir’s tourist map, Doodhpathri is a bowl-shaped valley with lush green meadows and a river that looks like flowing milk due to its speed and clarity. It is a perfect picnic spot for families, offering peace and pristine nature.
