  • The second largest lake of Kashmir, Dal Lake is very popular in India and beyond. Its banks are lined with blooming gardens of the Mughal era, hotels, hamlets, and more. With the Himalayas in the backdrop and the gentle sounds of the lake, houseboat cruising becomes an unforgettable affair.

    Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi are located in the Mughal Gardens.

  • Nishat Park, the second largest garden of the Kashmir Valley, has about 12 terraces with spectacular details. Chashme Shahi is decorated with an Iranian theme, and the design is inspired by Persian gardens. The spring flowing down in terraces is a special feature of this park. This spring is divided into three parts: waterfall, aqueduct, and waterfall.

  • Sonmarg is located at an altitude of 2800 meters and overlooks popular peaks and glaciers like Amarnath Peak, Kaolhoi Glacier, Machoi Peak, and Sirbal Peak. The azure Nallah Sidh River meanders through the town, making it look even prettier.

  • Gulmarg literally means Meadow of Flowers, and this town stands up to its name. It is perched at an altitude of 2730 meters. CNN regarded Gulmarg as "Heartland of Winter Sports of India" and rated it as Asia's seventh-best ski destination. Whether in summer or winter, the town is a year-round magnet for tourists around the world. Several movies have been shot in this beautiful town, like Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Bobby, Highway, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, and Haider, among others.
