Kashmir

Whether a leisure stroll in the Mughal gardens, skiing down the powdery snow slope of Gulmarg or trekking through the rugged terrain of Sonamarg, Kashmir offers an unmatched solace to the soul. Exploring Kashmir is akin to embarking on a journey through time and space. The elegance of this place also lies in its centuries-old traditions and hospitality.
