6 nights across Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, taking in the carved Avantipura temple ruins. Includes 3-star stays and transfers.
Avantipura Ruins opens this 6-night Kashmir itinerary that links Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Travel runs through 3-star stays at a steady, family-friendly pace. Along the route there is time for the spring-fed Cheshma Shahi garden and the Mughal terraces of Nishat Bagh. Srinagar is built around Dal Lake, where shikara rides and the old Mughal gardens fill an afternoon.
What to see on a Kashmir trip
Sightseeing centres on the carved Avantipura temple ruins, the spring-fed Cheshma Shahi garden, the Mughal terraces of Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh laid out beside Dal Lake and the hilltop Shankaracharya temple, drawn from 10 included activities across the 6 nights. Intercity hops run by road, which keeps the route between Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam flexible.
Who this tour suits
Coverage runs to 6 nights in 3-star hotels, airport transfers, 10 activities and daily breakfast. That mix suits families, couples and small groups who want Kashmir planned end to end. Lock in dates for Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam early, as the better rooms go first in season.
