The land of Jammu and Kashmir hides secretly beautiful sceneries and vantage points. Gulmarg remains as a favourite place for tourists to stay while exploring the area to the max, waking up to the sights that live up to this place’s name that meant the Meadow of Flowers. With the Himalayan Mountains as your background, visit Srinagar for the Gondola ride that takes you up to the resort area. You can opt for walking or horse-riding tour here and we’ll start with the Maharani Temple, built by the wife of the last Dogra King, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Then head to St. Mary’s Church, a tranquil place that features the aesthetics of a countryside chapel, a calming place that lets relieve stress. The Gondola ride can go higher to close to Afarwat Peak and stops at the shoulder at the height of 3.747m. From Gulmarg, we head into Pahalgam, an excursion that starts with the green Chandanwari, a gem that serves as a vantage point of Lidder River on one side and a view of the mountain on the other. At this point is covered by snow, snow-sledging becomes a famous activity around here. We head to Aru Valley next known for the quite and beautiful village of Aru. Take in the breath-taking view of the green valley and a backdrop of the clear blue sky that meets the emerald horizon at the end. Then to the film set of the Bollywood movie, the Betaab Valley which has become a must-visit of this area. It’s also become a popular camping site since. After Srinagar, we’ll also spend another day exploring Sonamarg, which starts with a scenic 3-hour drive that won’t feel as tiring. Once we’re at the city, you’ll see why this place is the Meadow of gold, starting with the Thajwas Glacier that’s just 3km from where the road stops. You can explore the area on ponies or on foot, enjoying the stunning view of frozen lakes, green forest, snow-capped mountains, the kind of view that comes out of a fairy-tale book. You’ll also past by waterfalls and streams before we reach the Shakhdar Hill where you’ll get a higher view point of the glaciers from. You can play snow-sledging from here or just take in the view of the high mountain pass Zojila and snap some Instagram-worthy pictures. There’s also rafting expedition available for those interested.

Gulmarg Sightseeing And Transfer To Srinagar Hotel

  • After breakfast in Gulmarg, get ready for a tour around the area before we head to Srinagar. Located over 52 km from Srinagar, Gulmarg is a hill station and town that has been visited by millions for its exquisite view of the Himalayan Mountain. You will be dropped roughly 1 km from the Gondola ride which will take you up to over 2.500m above sea level to Gulmarg Resort. You can choose to go by foot or pay extra for ATV or horse ride for a trip around the area. You can take pony rides to visit Maharani Temple & St. Mary’s Church at extra cost.
  • From the resort, the gondola can go further up to two stages of height if you wish to pay extra cost for the trips. The first stage starts from the Gulmarg Resort to the Kongdoori Station which is located within Kongdori Valley. While the second stage starts from the ropeway that has 36 cabins and 18 towers to near the Afarwat Peak at 3,747m height of Kongdoori Mountain, the shoulder of Afarwat Peak at 4,200m. The Gondola Ride starts at 10AM until 5PM and you can ride up at any time of the schedule.
  • While at the resort, you can visit the Maharani Temple, built in 1915 by Mohini Bai Sisodia who was the last Dogra King of Jammu and Kashmir. It was a royal temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and also goes by the name Mohineshwar Shivalalaya. The wife of Maharaja Hair Singh would give her fervent prayers at this temple that is filled with tranquillity and peace. It is also surrounded by gorgeous view of Gulmarg.
  • The St. Mary’s Church that was constructed over 110 years ago still stand strong today with renovation that was done in 2003. It looks absolutely gorgeous during winter when it snows as the colour white puts the green-tiled roof in stark contrast. The church gives the vibe of a countryside chapel with the overall decent size, decorated walls, and simple designs.
  • Once you’ve explored everything you want to explore and take in all the view you want, we’ll drive from Gulmarg to Srinagar and help you check-in. Spend the night in Srinagar.

Day 03
Full-day Excursion To Pahalgam
  • After breakfast at the hotel in Srinagar, we head out for an excursion to Pahalgam. Enjoy the scenic drive that goes into the national highway 1A before entering Anantnag, the second largest city in Kashmir, then back to the wild as we drive along the Lidder River to Pahalgam. With so many gorgeous places to visit and sights to see, we suggest renting a local taxi who’ll be able to take you around the area on a private basis, exploring Pahalgam Valley.
  • Around 16kms from Pahalgam is Chandanwari, a lush area in the valley that’s famous as a snow-sledging area. Hail a cab from Pahalgram for a roundtrip here which takes around 4-5 hours back and forth. While the ride can be quite long, it is one that you can enjoy with the Lidder River flowing on one side and the snow-capped mountain on the other. Have fun in the snow and make some snowballs to throw at your friends before heading back down. For a less boring trip, you can sledge down the side for an unforgettable experience. There are also several picnic spots that are easily accessible from the road.
  • We can ride on to the next destination, which is a village in the Aru Valley. This beautiful village is snuggled amongst the green grass and lush forest of Trans-Himalaya. With clear blue sky hanging above and the mist that hints the slightly cool weather of this area, it’s the perfect getaway that lets you forget your hectic life. It is the smallest hill station in the state, but surrounded by the native pines and conifer forests, the meadows are truly mesmerizing. Trekkers love to just stop and take in the majestic view of this small paradise which is covered in white during winter.
  • From Aru Valley, we head to Betaab Valley that was previously known as Hagan Valley. It earned a new name after the movie Betaab was filmed here in 1983, hence the Betaab Valley. It’s not just a former film setting – this valley is a wondrous gorge of nature’s beauty where you can listen to the songs of birds and is often the destination tourists head to in Kashmir. For those who wish to drown in the sight and place longer, this place is a popular camping site as well since it’s located not far from Pahalgam.
  • We keep driving and exit the valleys for Srinagar. Head back to the hotel for another night in Srinagar.
