Seven nights touring Avantipura's ruins, the Mughal gardens and Shankaracharya temple, with a Sonmarg day excursion from Srinagar.
Avantipura Ruins headlines this 7-night, 8-day Kashmir holiday, with Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Garden shaping a route built for families and groups travelling together. Nights split across Srinagar (1N), Gulmarg (2N), Pahalgam (2N), and Srinagar (2N), so each base gets real time instead of a rushed overnight.
What to see in Kashmir
Sightseeing days take in Avantipura Ruins, Nishat Bagh, and Shalimar Garden; later, the plan adds Cheshma Shahi, Shankaracharya Temple, and Day Excursion to Sonmarg. The 8-day plan moves between bases by road and bundles 16 guided activities along the way, with a driver handling the runs between cities so the group keeps its own rhythm.
