Kashmir
“Paradise on Earth: Snow-draped valleys, frozen lakes, and cedar houseboats.”
A Landscape Beyond the Expected
Renowned for centuries as Paradise on Earth, Kashmir in winter transforms into a silver wonderland of snow-covered pine forests, steaming kahwa, and traditional hand-carved cedarwood houseboats moored along frozen Dal Lake. From skiing on the powdered slopes of Gulmarg to the pine valleys of Pahalgam and glacial streams of Sonmarg, Kashmir offers an unforgettable Alpine retreat.
