“Kashmir,” the valley of Kashyap Rishi, needs no mention when it comes to the best places for winter vacation and holidays. Known for its incredible Kashmir Winter Tour Packages, it is among the most famous tourist destinations in the world, largely due to its location in the tallest mountain range, the Mighty Himalayas. Considered a paradise of natural wild beauty and spirituality, Kashmir’s charm floats in the air, making hearts beat faster in its piercing calmness.
KASHMIR IN SNOW: A MASTERPIECE
The Vale of Kashmir is covered in a thick slab of snow for four to five months. In this period, the valley presents itself in a different form, as if a beautiful face was covered with makeup which made it more charming. Our Kashmir Winter Tour Packages give you the full experience of getting immersed in the snowy landscape and feeling the aesthetic weather in the company of adrenaline-loaded adventure enthusiasts.
THINGS NOT TO MISS IN KASHMIR WINTER:
Shikara Ride
The Dal Lake is renowned for its Shikaras (locally made wooden boats), which make for an unforgettable and relaxing experience. The Zabarwan hills in the backdrop make it breathtakingly stunning. Islands in the Dal Lake are also pieces of land where one would want to step a foot to have a 360-degree view of the lake from the centre. Other rides like Jet skis and motorboats are also amusing.
Skiing or Snowboarding
One of the best things one can not afford to miss doing is skiing or snowboarding on the finest snowy slopes of one of the highest skiing resorts in the world, Gulmarg. Skiing on the curvy slopes of these hills will render a different experience, which is nowhere to be found. Check the specially made Kashmir Winter Tour packages at Kashmironline.com.
Gondola Ride
A ride on the cable car gives stunning views of the hill station of Gulmarg while you are floating in the air. The Gondola can take you to two phases of the Apharwaat peak (the highest peak in Gulmarg).
