Day 01--- Arrive Srinagar and Local Sight Seeing
Upon your arrival at Srinagar Airport or railway station, you will be warmly welcomed by a representative from Capture Kashmir Tours. After a smooth meet-and-greet, you will be assisted with your luggage and escorted to begin your enchanting Srinagar local sightseeing tour, which includes Nishat Bagh (built in 1633 by Asif Khan, brother of Empress Noor Jahan), Shalimar Bagh (commissioned by Emperor Jahangir for his wife Noor Jahan), Chashme Shahi (a small garden built in 1632 during the reign of Shah Jahan, known for its natural spring), Pari Mahal (built in the 1600s by Dara Shikoh, son of Shah Jahan, once a center for Sufi learning), the Botanical Garden, and Hazratbal Shrine (a revered Muslim shrine on the northern shores of Dal Lake). You will also visit the historic Shankaracharya Temple, located atop a hill overlooking Srinagar, offering panoramic views of the city and Dal Lake. The tour also includes the Tulip Garden (open only during March– April), Asia’s largest, featuring vibrant seasonal blooms. In the evening, enjoy a serene Shikara ride on Dal Lake, where the calm waters, golden hues of the setting sun, surrounding mountains, and cool breeze create a truly magical experience. After the ride, you will be escorted to your hotel for check-in, followed by dinner at the hotel, marking the end of your first day in Srinagar.

Day 02 --- Srinagar to Gulmarg
After breakfast at the hotel, you will proceed for a full-day excursion to Gulmarg, a scenic hill station located around 50 km from Srinagar. On the way, you can visit the stunning Drung Waterfall, a hidden gem along the Gulmarg route, which becomes a frozen waterfall in winter and offers a spectacular view. It is accessible via union cabs or ATV rides, making it a perfect spot for photography and enjoying the pristine mountain environment. Upon arrival in Gulmarg, begin with the world-famous Gondola ride, which takes you up to Kongdoori and Apharwat Peak, providing breathtaking views of the snow-covered Himalayan ranges. Depending on the season, enjoy adventure activities such as skiing, snowboarding, sledging, ATV rides, horse riding, and nature walks. After the Gondola experience, explore other attractions in Gulmarg including the serene Botapathri Valley, the vibrant Strawberry Garden, the picturesque Gulmarg Golf Course, and the historic St.Mary’s Church, all accessible via union cabs or ATV rides. After a fun-filled and refreshing day in the mountains, drive back to Srinagar by evening for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.
