5 Must-do adventures on Kashmir Holidays in India
1. Gondola Cable Car Ride in Gulmarg
The Gulmarg Gondola ride is a must-do activity for visitors to this beautiful valley. The Gondola is among the highest cable car systems in the world, transporting one to a dizzy height of 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) on the majestic Himalayan peak of Apharwat. The cable ride provides visitors with an opportunity to admire the panoramic views of the great Himalayas with their lush meadows, dense forests and snow-covered peaks. The Gondola ride can easily be termed as the highlight of a trip to Kashmir.
2. Pony ride to Thajiwas Glacier
Sonamarg (or the Golden Meadows) is one of the most beautiful locations in Kashmir with sun-kissed snow-capped mountains surrounding the lush green meadows. A 7-kilometre pony ride to the Thajiwas glacier, which takes roughly 2 hours, is the best way to enjoy the stunning scenic beauty of the place. The ponies are fully trained and are accompanied by their handlers-cum-guides. You reach the glacier riding through dense forests and alpine meadows, with the river flowing by – to a mesmerizingly beautiful sight, with ice flowing down from the glacier to the valleys – making it a picture perfect location.
3. Shikara Ride + Houseboat Stay at Dal Lake
Shikara rides and houseboat stays on Dal Lake in Srinagar are the hallmark of tourism in Kashmir. These Shikaras (Gondola shaped boats) take one on a tranquil and mesmerizing ride on the iconic Dal Lake, which is set amongst majestic Himalayan peaks. While enjoying this Shikara ride, one can even shop for local fruit, flowers, spices, kahwa and other traditional goods from the floating shops. In summer months, the lake is full of lotus blooms in their absolute glory. This is absolutely one of the iconic experiences to explore on Kashmir holidays in India.
A stay on a Houseboat on Dal Lake is another unique experience. These houseboats are luxurious floating hotel suites set up on large boats on the lake. They offer all modern amenities, but in a traditional Kashmiri setting – complete with wooden carvings, signature hand woven carpets and Kashmiri furniture. Staying on a houseboat, one can partake of authentic Kashmiri cuisine, while taking in the beauty of the tranquil waters and misty Himalayan snow peaks, while enjoying complete privacy.
4. Skiing in Gulmarg
Gulmarg (or the Meadow of Flowers) is the winter sports capital of Kashmir. This pristine snow covered valley is located at a very high altitude and therefore receives heavy snowfall during winters, turning it into a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts. Gulmarg offers a number of snow sports, skiing being the most popular one. Professional instructors are also available for tourists. There are all types of terrains in Gulmarg – gentle slopes for the beginners as well as thrilling downhill terrains for highly skilled skiers.
5. River Rafting in Pahalgam
Pahalgam (or Valley of Shepherds) is one of the most magnificent tourist destinations of Kashmir. The verdant valley covered with lush green pine forests and meadows surrounded by towering snow-capped Himalayan peaks, has the frolicking Lidder River flowing through it. Rafting on this river offers an unforgettable and exciting experience to a visitor to this beautiful valley. Rafting here can be enjoyed both by novices and experienced professionals, as Lidder has all kinds of rapids – from gentle to extremely difficult.
