Day 01 - Arrival Srinagar

On arrival at Srinagar airport, our office representative will meet and greet you outside the airport terminal building, and transfer you to "Hotel Nadis" for 02 nights.

(Srinagar, bewitches not only the tourists who visit here but every person who shares this beautiful land. It is called the city of lakes and the Venice of the East with snow laden great Himalayan Mountains all around. In the lap of these mountains lie the glittering lakes that are surrounded by houseboat and Shikaras and the majesty of Mughal architecture. Spread on both sides of the river Jhelum the city is famous for its natural beauty, gardens, waterfronts and houseboats. The very absence of order in the location of the houses and their tumbled down appearance add a peculiar charm to the scenery. It has its own quaint lifestyle, telling a panoramic fairy-tale tour through the snow-capped mountains and Chinar trees, while enjoying the adventurous pleasures of hiking, mountain biking, and rafting. The city is also famous for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and dried fruit.)

In the afternoon, experience the shikara ride to Nishat bagh with your loved one while rowing heart-shaped pedals, soaking up the beauty of Zabarwan hills with your favourite music and sipping a warm cup of Kashmiri tea- Kehwa with our compliments.

Rest of the day at leisure. D
