About the tour

Kashmir is surrounded by the mighty Himalayan range and has rivers that adorn its heart. In addition, the sublime climate in the valley has led to the creation of rich orchards and pristine lakes. The best time to visit Kashmir is in summer, when the sky glows in shades of orange and blue. You may stay in a houseboat or simply take time to become one with the natural beauty. If you are feeling adventurous, you may visit in winter and enjoy skiing, tobogganing, sledge-riding and more.
