There is no denying the fact that Kashmir is the quintessential portrayal of nature’s youthful, timeless, ageless beauty at its best; a bride bedecked for a wedding in all her finery. Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonmarg, and Srinagar are the prime attractions of land that abounds in charms to keep you enthralled. You could just as well explore Yousmarg and Anantmarg areas with no sense of diminishment of the pleasure of nature in a vibrantly joyful mood of celebration, especially in spring. For most tourists, a visit that includes these prime destinations is more than enough to give them a taste that could turn into an addiction.
A typical Charismatic Kashmir tour would take you into and around Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonmarg in a heady six day extravaganza. Srinagar gives you the first taste of Kashmir with its enchanting Dal Lake and life on a houseboat. Then you have the Nishat Baugh and Mughal gardens to keep you entranced with hors d’oeuvre provided by way of shopping, strolling the bazaars and sampling delectable local foods. You may not want to move out of Srinagar but Gulmarg beckons with its cable car, skiing and golfing. Tear yourself away because Pahalgam is just as alluring with picture-perfect alpine scenery, a feast for the senses. If that does not sate you, Sonamarg is a siren that can bewitches and ensnares; an experience you will delight in.
