Magical Kashmir Family Tour
About the Destination:
A fun-filled family vacation to Kashmir, an amazing excursion across the Himalayas away from everyday life, soul-stirring activities, and the incredibly beautiful Dal Lake will refresh the family bond like never before. With a leisurely Shikara ride, lean out of your Shikara and enjoy a sight of the magnificent sunset while sliding your fingertips over the cool Dal lake water. Shop for wonderfully designed handicrafts, bright Pashmina shawls, and genuine Kashmir valley saffron in the city's old quarter.
While on a pony ride among the green meadows and chilly glaciers trickling through the mountains in Pahalgam and Sonmarg, wave back at the shepherds. At Gulmarg, the stronghold of winter sports, slide down the hill on a ski or sledge and roll some balls to construct a snowman or get into a snow war.
