Though India has a number of beautiful hill stations, Kashmir still rules the heart of every backpacker. Its serenading gardens and mighty snow hills can make anyone go weak on their knees. It is a beautiful and cosmopolitan state where everyone can have a very blissful holiday amidst the best that the Himalayas have to offer.

Kashmir holiday package offers an escapade into all the major tourist sites including the following ones:

i.  Srinagar: Srinagar, the capital of the state, is an extremely photogenic place and one which should be always in your tour program. It boasts of some natural attractions like the Dal Lake which is the best lake which India has to offer to the world. The beauty of Dal Lake cannot be quite described through the use of words. It is huge and serene. Blue-white hills surround it in all directions and throw a very rhapsodic reflection on its water. Wular Lake is another top attraction and also offers houseboat and angling facilities. In addition, Srinagar also has a few gardens and sacred sites to offer to its visitors. Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh are the two Mughal gardens which are must-visits. Shankaracharya Temple and Jama Masjid are the most renowned religious attractions.

ii.  Amarnath: Amarnath Yatra tour packages become available in the second half of the year when the season begins. Amarnath is a cave where Lord Shiva resides in the form of an ice shivling. The site draws pilgrims in humongous numbers from all over the country. Since, a tsunami of devotees head to the Yatra during the favorite season of July, it is advisable to make your bookings in advance. Alternately, you can avoid some rush if you visit during the later months between September-October. An Amarnath Yatra package would include not just all the major attractions which fall on the trekking path but would also include accommodations and meals. Most tour operators would also stitch you a custom package as per your needs and requests.

iii.  Pahalgam: Pahalgam is another wonderful destination in Kashmir where nature seems to come to a standstill. There is so much of snow and hills around that you would feel as if you have walked over to some surreal and bizarrely untrue place. It is also a great place to enjoy horse rides and other sports like cable car and paragliding. The Sheshnag Lake is its biggest attraction and must not be missed at any cost.

iv.  Gulmarg: The word ‘Gul’ means ‘flowers’ while the term ‘marg’ implies ‘meadow’. So, literally speaking, the word ‘Gulmarg’ translates over to ‘meadow of flowers’. So, it goes without saying that this is one of the more picturesque places in the state and has lots and lots of flower gardens to offer to your eyes. A Kashmir holiday package without a Gulmarg trip would be largely considered incomplete. So, do not miss a chance to explore the flowery treasures of this place.
