Description
Cherish a visit with your loved ones to the holiest shrine of Hindu pilgrimage nestled between the mystic Trikuta mountains Vaishnodevi. Marvel at the naturally formed caves Maa Kali, Maa Saraswati, Maa Laxmi resides peacefully in the form of pindies. You can reach the holy shrine by trekking 14km or by palkies, ponies, helicopters on your own to seek the blessings of Maa Vaishno Devi. After worshipping the goddess travel to mountains where soul-filled adventures, innovative cable car rides, ridiculously pretty Dal Lake with colorful houseboats lined up and the unique Kashmiri culture awaits your presence. There’s something intrinsically soothing about the Shikara ride in the Dal lake and there’s unnamed magic in the Rogan Josh brimming with flavours. Witness the changing landscapes from the verdant meadows and chilling glaciers meandering through the mountains to the popping houses surrounded with pine trees covered under the flaky snow as you explore the crown jewels of Kashmir - Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg. Conclude by taking a postcard perfect frame in the traditional Kashmiri attire, to treasure the memories for life.
