Jammu & Kashmir

Gulmarg means a pathway of flowers and you will see it that I am not exaggerating, when you visit this hill resort that is situated 2370 meters above sea level in the Baramullah district of Kashmir (57 kilometers from Srinagar district), you will find the plush green land filled with a lot of flowers. The coniferous forests are equally captivating, and calling it a paradise on earth is well justified. This place with an abundance of natural beauty is a well-known tourist den for the global tourist population. Apart from tourism you can get to enjoy some winter sports in Gulmarg. In essence, your vacation package without a trip to Gulmarg can turn out to be very dull.

Sonamarg meaning pathway to gold is the name given to this beautiful hill resort in Jammu and Kashmir. It seems, this breathtakingly gorgeous valley, enriched with sycamore, alpine flowers, fir, silver birch, and pine trees, got its name due to two reasons - the first one being that there is a well in this valley that is believed to be capable of turning anything into gold. The other reason is that this place leads to Central Asia. Sonamarg is located 2740 meters above sea level and is about 80 kilometers from Srinagar. Like other places of the Kashmir valley this place has got some great adventure sports for you in store.

Your vacation package to Jammu and Kashmir must include a trip to Pahalgam (the Valley of the shepherds), which is an irresistible tourist destination. It is located at the point where the Seshnag Lake meets the Lidder River. Pahalgam consists of a group of eight villages. People visit this place more during the Amarnath Pilgrimage annually. This place is meant for those who want to indulge in adventurous activities like fishing, golfing, trekking, and horse riding. Pahalgam serves the spot to offset your adventurous sprees to the Kolahoi glacier, lakes in the high altitudes, to the mystic caves of Amarnath, and Sonmarg.

Your Indian holiday remains incomplete without a visit to the much-coveted land of Jammu and Kashmir. This state is aptly considered as the paradise of India and has some breath-taking natural beauty for you. You should start with the summer capital of the state, Srinagar, which is 1730 meters above sea level. This beautiful place is tucked in the lap of the Karakoram, Zanskar, and Pir Panjal ranges of mountains. The gorgeous Jhelum River passes through this divine place. You will be truly enthralled by numerous lakes (in which you can go boating) and the majestic mountain ranges around.
