Honeymoon
in Kashmir Tours - If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it
is here, it is here, exclaimed the Mughal emperor Jahangir, a feeling
echoed by any visitor to the
Kashmir Valley. Lying within the
folds of the Himalayas, the
Kashmir Valley is India's most
prized destination. Accessible by air or road, Srinagar lies in the
heart of the valley. Beautiful and complete in itself,
Srinagar
serves as the base for tourists to venture into the region's splendid
locations fringing the valley. At the core of the city is the tranquil
Dal Lake, a home and source of livelihood to many. While a boat cruise
through the Lake is a
must-do for honeymooners, you can even put
up on a houseboat and spend leisurely hours admiring the astounding
views from the deck.
Known for its glorious gardens, the Chesmashahi, Nishat and Shalimar
Gardens built by the Mughal Emperors are a riot of color amidst terraced
lawns and cascading fountains.
One-day trips to Gulmarg, famous for its world-class skiing facilities,
Pahalgam and Sonamarg take you through alpine slopes and frothy, white
streams in a wonderful amalgam of green, blue, white and vivid shades of
blossoms. The summer months between May to September are perfect for
leisurely walks, pony rides, golfing or angling in the white waters of
the stream that tumbles through Pahalgam. Sonamarg or the 'meadow of
gold' can be your base for a trek to the lakes of Vishansar, Kishansar,
Gadsar, Satsar and Gangabal.
Sonamarg is also along the road to Ladakh, which must be visited if you
have the passion for thrill and adventure. The Ladakh region is on
tortuously high altitudes reaching 19,700 ft on an average, and has trek
routes through bare slopes and lonely monasteries.
