Start your day by going to the Mughal Gardens, which include Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. Walk through flower beds and landscaping that are hundreds of years old. After that, go to Hazratbal Shrine, and then have a history tour around downtown Srinagar, where you can see marketplaces and Kashmiri handicrafts.
Day 3: Srinagar to Gulmarg (52 km)
Go to Gulmarg, which is recognised for its world-class ski slopes and lush meadows. Check out the gorgeous golf course, the pine paths and the renowned Gulmarg Gondola, which gives you a great perspective of the mountains. Gulmarg is a great place to spend the night.
Day 4: Gulmarg Leisure Day and Return to Srinagar
Take nature hikes or easy pony rides in the morning. In the winter, you may enjoy snow sports across the meadows. In the afternoon, go back to Srinagar and have a nice, relaxing supper by Dal Lake.
Day 5: Excursion to Sonmarg (80 km)

Day 6: Srinagar to Pahalgam (90 km)
