Romance and Wonder on Dal Lake
Srinagar City Break is a four day escape into Kashmir's jewelled valley, where emerald lakes mirror snow capped peaks and Mughal gardens speak of centuries of love and beauty. This intimate package immerses you in the charm of Srinagar without the rush, staying one magical night on a traditional houseboat and spending two nights in the heart of the old city.
You will glide across Dal Lake in a traditional Shikara, walk through the perfectly proportioned gardens of Shalimar and Nishat, and venture up to the alpine meadows of Gulmarg where pine forests meet mountain views.
