Kashmir: Valleys, Lakes & Alpine Dreams

Kashmir, India

About this trip

Wake to mist lifting off Dal Lake, ride a gondola into meadows that run to the snowline, and follow the Lidder through pine valleys. This is Kashmir at an unhurried pace — shikara mornings, Mughal gardens in bloom, saffron fields, and evenings in a carved walnut houseboat.
