MOHAND MARG - KASHMIR
A refreshing and relaxing experience in the lap of nature“To Call Kashmir Just a Piece Of Heaven On Earth Is To Belittle It. It Is In fact the Sum Total of Many Heavens” - (Swami Abhedananda)
the itinerary
Sir Aurel Stein called Mohandmarg’ his ‘own little kingdom’. It is a verdant alpine grazing ground hidden in the mountains to the north of Srinagar about 25 kilometers along the road to Leh.
Mohandmarg is an ideal virgin meadow to discover and enjoy when it is awash with alpine flowers like many species of Primulas, and Gentiana in summer and scented with Blue Pine and Deodar trees. Views of the meadow offer a stunning mountain beauty.
On your visit to Mohandmarg “Indus Discoveries” will be your camp-retainer. It will take care of all arrangements to let you be our privileged guest. We assure you that your holiday will be a tale for the children or your grandchildren! Or simply, one more page in the book that celebrates the Kashmir legacy of the Great Pioneer Sir Aurel Stein. He was a sanskiritist, he translated our historical book Raj Tarangni into English. As a tribute for his gift to Kashmir we have installed a memorial stone in Mohand Marg in his memory.
