The Best of Kashmir tour is a comprehensive 8 days tour around all the major tourist destinations in
Jammu and Kashmir. The tour takes you straight to Srinagar where a special stay in a deluxe
Houseboat has been arranged for you. Don’t get too comfortable on your leisurely Shikara ride in Dal
Lake, as we later take you to Gulmarg. That’s not all, the tour takes you further to Kargil and Leh and
finally culminates in Delhi.
Up on your arrival in New Delhi Airport/Railway Station you will be greeted by IHPL Representative, who
will assist you to check in to the Hotel.
Spend the rest of the day as per your discretion. Overnight stay in New Delhi.
Get transferred to the domestic airport and board the flight to Srinagar. As soon as you exit the Srinagar
airport, you are seated in a cab to be taken to your deluxe houseboat in Srinagar. Once you are rested,
we take you on a dramatic Shikara ride to the floating vegetable gardens on the Dal Lake. Shikara is
long, gondola-like boat that is beautifully decorated with flowers and rich upholstery. Dinner is served
overnight in the Houseboat itself.
Day 3 is action packed and begins with a scrumptious breakfast. Once done, proceed to the day tour to
the Mughal Garden, Chashmi-e Shahi (The Royal Spring), Nishat (The Garden of pleasure) & Shalimar
Bagh (Abode of Love). It's not without a reason that Srinagar is a favourite with honeymooners and once
you have visited these attractions, you cannot help but admire their natural beauty. Afternoon is reserved
for another long, relaxing Shikara ride in the Dal Lake. Overnight stay at houseboat/hotel.
Day 4 begins with a half day tour to Gulmarg – regarded by many as the most beautiful summer resort in
the Kashmir valley. Gulmarg has one of the highest golf courses in the world and remains snow covered
in winters, therefore facilitating skiing. You can enjoy a pony ride before hopping on a cable car to
Khilanmarg . After an elaborate sightseeing tour of Gulmarg and Khilanmarg, return to the
houseboat/hotel by evening for overnight stay.
Morning after breakfast, start for Kargil via Sonmarg. The Srinagar-Sonmarg stretch is one of the most
beautiful drives you would have ever seen. The winding roads snaking through the lofty Himalayas are a
sight to behold. During your halt at Sonmarg, take a pony ride (charges extra; optional) to Thajiwas
Glacier, which remains covered with snow throughout the year. After you are dropped at your hotel in
Kargil, you are treated to a refreshing welcome drink on arrival. Rest of the day can be spent at leisure.
Overnight in the hotel.
Kickstart Day 6 with a filling breakfast and proceed to Leh. As you arrive in Leh, we will arrange for a
quick check-in to your room. This day will be planned for complete acclimatize to the low air pressure at
higher altitudes (11,562 ft.) of Leh. Overnight stay at Leh.
Today, we show you around the beautiful Thiksey Monastery. This excursion is scheduled in wee hours
of the morning since this is the best time to see the ethereal sunrise and the absorbing praying
ceremony. Next is Hemis Monastery, one of the biggest monasteries in Ladakhregion. During your return
to Leh, visit Shey Palace after which packed lunch is handed out. In the evening return to the hotel for
dinner & overnight stay.
The trip reaches its physical crescendo with a scenic drive to Khardung la, the highest motorable road in
the world at 5600 meters. Go crazy capturing the views from the top of the pass. This road continues to
the Nubra Valley from where you return to the hotel for hot, delicious lunch. Post lunch, you are taken on
a whirlwind tour of Leh city. This is when you visit popular city attractions such as Sangkar, Shanti Stupa
and Leh Palace. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Today, the trip draws to its end as we arrange timely transfer to the Leh Airport where you can board the
flight to Delhi for your onward destination.
