A Kashmir Backpacking trip is the closest you’d ever get to witnessing paradise on earth.
The valley of Kashmir has always been synonymous with heavenly beauty and it’s only when you witness the snow-covered slopes, traverse the verdant forests of pine trees, hear the rustling of the golden chinar trees and take a Shikara ride in the tranquil waters of Dal Lake, do you realize just how short words fall when it comes to describing the ethereal beauty of Kashmir.
This is why we’ve curated the perfect Kashmir itinerary where travelers can experience the best of Kashmir firsthand in a matter of few days.
The Kashmir backpacking trip commences from Srinagar, the summer capital of the state nestled peacefully on the banks of Jhelum, renowned for being the abode to multitudes of houseboats that can be found floating on the turquoise waters that surrounds it.
Residing in a houseboat is just one of the many authentic Kashmiri experiences you’ll be checking off of your bucket list followed by a sightseeing tour of Srinagar visiting the pristine Mughal Gardens. Nishat Bagh, which is one of the most prominent Mughal gardens of Srinagar, owing to its location being in close proximity to the Dal Lake, with the Pir Panjal mountains in the backdrop will leave you awestruck.
