Winter in Kashmir: The Limelight
Kashmir in winter is more magical and beautiful and offers jaw-dropping scenes of white shiny landscape, frozen lakes and meadows covered with many feet of snow. The mist and fog in the air make the scenes more dramatic and make you forget the cold weather. The valley of Kashmir sprayed with snow looks like the land of ‘Narnia’ from the movie ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’. The valley is filled with travellers and adventurers, all the accommodations booked and tourists rushing to get the opportunity to enjoy the most famous, winter season of Kashmir.
Starting the serene journey
Your journey begins with a flight to Kashmir or a road trip which is long in comparison to the aeroplane but can save a lot of money and also give you stunning views of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway which passes through the tall mountains of the Pir Panjal range while passing from the district of Jammu to the U shaped valley of Kashmir. After arriving in the valley, you will be picked up by our team and taken to the accommodation to settle your valuables. Thereafter, you will be ready for the exploration.
Top attractions
Dal Lake, known as the jewel in the crown of Kashmir, lies in the east of Srinagar city, in the foothills of the Zabarwan hills, which appear majestic in the backdrop. The lake is recorded to get frozen in the harshest of winters, which normally does not happen, but luck can give you a chance to see it in its frozen form. This lake is buzzed by its wooden boats called Shikaras, which take the visitors to the interiors of the lake.
Shikara rides are relaxing and one of the must-do activities. Kashmir in winter gives a new appearance to this wonder.
Lal Chowk: The largest and most famous shopping centre of Kashmir, Lal Chowk lies in Srinagar city where tourists enjoy shopping for unique arts and crafts of the valley such as Pashmina Shawls, paper machie, jalakdozi, Tilla work, Sozni work, weaved carpets and others. Lal Chowk has its hustle and bustle and people from all locations of Kashmir come here to shop for necessary items. It is also filled with hotels for comfy stays and restaurants where one can enjoy a meal.
