Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Dal Lake Houseboat & Shikara Experience

Arrive at Srinagar Airport and transfer to your iconic Dal Lake accommodation. Settle into a traditional Kashmiri houseboat. In the afternoon enjoy a relaxed Shikara ride across the lake to watch floating gardens and local life. Evening stroll through nearby waterfront markets and a short orientation about the craft-focused itinerary.

Day2

Mughal Gardens & Kashmiri Craft Workshops

After breakfast, explore the famed Mughal-era gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi — offering scenic views and photo opportunities. Post-lunch visit curated craft workshops in Srinagar to see and interact with artisans working on Pashmina weaving, paper-mâché, and walnut wood carving. Opportunity to try simple craft steps and learn about traditional processes. Evening free for leisure or optional visit to the old city bazaar.

Day3

Pampore Saffron Fields & Srinagar Markets

Drive to Pampore for an immersive visit to the saffron fields. Meet local saffron growers, observe the delicate crocus harvest (seasonal), and enjoy a short demonstration on processing and storing Kashmiri saffron. Return to Srinagar and spend the afternoon exploring principal shopping hubs — Lal Chowk, Polo View, and Residency Road — ideal for purchasing pashmina shawls, saffron, handcrafted papier-mâché items, and local spices. Tip: Carry small denomination notes and confirm product authenticity when purchasing high-value items like pashmina and saffron.

Day4

Pahalgam Village Immersion & Local Artisan Visit

Early drive to Pahalgam with scenic stops en route. Explore the tranquil Betaab Valley and nearby streams.

Enjoy a gentle riverside walk and optional short nature trails. Overnight stay in Pahalgam to soak in mountain village ambiance.
