Embark on a full-day excursion to Sonmarg, known as the “Meadow of Gold.” The 90 km drive is one of the most scenic routes in the Kashmir Valley, winding through pine forests, rushing mountain streams, and quaint villages along the Sindh River. Perched at an altitude of 2,690 meters, Sonmarg is a peaceful alpine retreat, bursting with flowers in summer and blanketed in snow during winter.

Following a nourishing breakfast, head out on a full-day trip to Pahalgam, called the “Valley of Shepherds.” The route to Pahalgam is a visual treat, passing saffron fields in Pampore dancing gently in the morning breeze, and the ancient Awantipura Ruins, a 1,100-year-old temple complex dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Despite their weathered appearance, the ruins still whisper tales of Kashmir’s regal past. As you approach Pahalgam, enjoy views of glistening streams, terraced fields, and quaint hamlets set against a snowy backdrop. Breathe in the crisp, pine-scented air as you explore the town.
