About the tour

Paradise on earth at the foot of the Himalayas

Kashmir is often called paradise on earth — and it is hard to disagree. This is a land where the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are mirrored in the still waters of Dal Lake, where Mughal gardens are fragrant with roses and saffron, and the air is crisper and cleaner than anywhere else in India. This 12-day journey is a mosaic of experiences: from the pulsing rhythm of Delhi, through the spiritual atmosphere of Amritsar, to the endless meadows of Gulmarg and the idyllic calm of Pahalgam — beautiful, authentic and unforgettable.
