Kashmir-Ladakh Double Delight

Srinagar is the crowning glory of Kashmir; and Sonmarg, meaning pathways of gold because of rich golden flora that adorn its landscape, are a must-visit.  Kashmir is beauty personified – layers of white snow-capped mountains surround beautiful opalesque lakes and glorious and abundant flowers and fruits  dot the undulating landscape.  The Emperor couldn’t have named it better — “Paradise on Earth” — a Heaven on earth, it definitely is.

Ladakh is an enchanting land of beauty with mind-blowing undulating natural landscapes as far as the eye can see.  Leh, the quaint town with market and monasteries is a delight to be in; the Nubra Valley with its majestic mountains offers up a chance to ride or just behold the huge Bactrian camels, a visit to the last village on the border shared with Pakistan, and experience staying in wooden cottages.  Pangong, of course, made famous by the climax scene of the movie ‘Three idiots’ cannot be missed for the world if one is in Ladakh.

Shikhara Ride on the lake

A Shikhara is a traditional Gondola-type light rowing boat that is mostly seen on the pristine Dal Lake and now in other lakes in Srinagar. Along with the houseboats, it is also considered to be a cultural symbol.

Apart from leisure and tourism purposes, the shikhara is also used by the locals for seaweed harvesting, fishing, and transportation.

Gulmarg Gondola

One of Kashmir’s prime attraction is the Gulmarg Gondola, giving you a ride of a lifetime, taking you over pine-covered forests and snow-topped mountains in the stunning Himalayas to view the unforgettable and unmatched Nanda Devi, LOC, and Pir Panjal range.

It takes off at 2,990 m and has a vertical climb of 400 m in the first phase between Gulmarg Resort to Kongdoori Station, carrying 1500 people every hour. It goes up to 4200 m in the second phase when it connects Kongdoori Mountain to Apharwat Peak, carrying 600 people every hour.
