Overview

This journey will be substantially different from previous ones. We'll be seeing a state that is undoubtedly India's most visually appealing.

On this journey, we will visit Srinagar, Sonamarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam, to visit the most picturesque areas in each. We will visit a village that only makes cricket bats, ride the world's highest gondola, do some beginner skiing if we want, ride on shikaris in the beautiful Dal lake, and sit around bonfires at night while watching a thousand stars in the night sky. 
And we will see it in the early summer. When it is at its purest, the Himalayan mountains are covered in powder white snow, the trees - the leaves and branches of the Chinars and Deodars - have a whitish silvery tinge, and the meadows are carpeted in green and white, Kashmir resembles a lovely fairyland.

Unlike late summers, there will be few tourists this season. Wake up to Kashmiri Kahwa tea, enjoy the morning sun, and then take a road trip with your new companions. This trip is about playing in the snow, sitting on mountains and admiring the breathtaking views, sitting by prickly ice rivers, making new acquaintances, and spending time with oneself.
