Kashmir remains one of the most breathtaking destinations in India, and 2025 is shaping up to be a great year to visit. Whether you are drawn to still lakes, alpine meadows, or centuries-old Mughal gardens, the valley has something for every kind of traveler.
Start your trip in Srinagar with a relaxed shikara ride across Dal Lake, followed by an evening at the Mughal Gardens. From there, head to Gulmarg for gondola rides up Apharwat Peak and, in winter, some of the best skiing in the country.
Pahalgam and Sonmarg round out the classic circuit, offering pine forests, river valleys, and access to trekking routes for the more adventurous. Betaab Valley and Aru Valley near Pahalgam are especially popular for short hikes and photography.
For a quieter experience, consider Yusmarg and Doodhpathri, two lesser-known meadows that see far fewer tourists but offer some of the most peaceful scenery in the region.
Our GRD Travels Kashmir packages cover all of these stops with comfortable stays, private transport, and a local driver who knows the routes well, so you can focus on enjoying the views.
