Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is renowned for its stunning Dal Lake, iconic houseboats, and traditional shikara rides. The city’s historical gardens, like Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh, were built by Mughal emperors and offer a peek into the region’s rich history. The old city also boasts vibrant bazaars and historic mosques like Jamia Masjid.

Known as the ‘Meadow of Flowers’, Gulmarg transforms into a winter sports hub from December to March. Its world-famous gondola—one of the highest in the world—offers panoramic Himalayan views and access to pristine skiing conditions. In summer, it’s a lush green landscape perfect for hiking and golfing at one of the highest golf courses in the world.

Pahalgam, with its confluence of the Lidder River and Sheshnag Lake, is a starting point for pilgrimages to the sacred Amarnath Cave. It’s admired for its scenic meadows and vibrant market. The nearby Betaab Valley, so named for the Bollywood movie filmed there, offers spectacular camping sites and picnic spots.

The ‘Meadow of Gold’ provides access to the high-altitude Himalayan treks and is famed for its Thajiwas Glacier. In summer, it’s an ideal spot for trekking, camping, and fishing, with its undulating meadow landscapes.

Doodhpathri is not just a destination; it’s an experience. The valley gets its poetic name from its milky white rivers and streams, which are said to have the milky tone due to their high mineral content. Located just over 40 kilometers from Srinagar, it is easily accessible yet maintains an untouched, pristine quality that charms every nature lover
