Why visit

Why Jammu & Kashmir?

The classic Indian mountain holiday: a houseboat on Dal Lake, the Mughal gardens, and day runs out to Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg. Distances are short and the driving is easy.

A houseboat night

On the quiet stretch of Dal Lake, and a shikara at dawn.

Gulmarg

The gondola to Apharwat, first slot of the morning.

Meadow valleys

Betaab, Aru and the Thajiwas glacier.

Mughal gardens

Shalimar and Nishat, terraced above the lake.
