Soul Soaked Kashmir Tour
“Kashmir is not a destination. It’s a feeling. One that lingers long after your footsteps fade.”
(Best for couples, dreamers, storytellers, nature lovers & seekers of something divine.)
Day 1: Srinagar – The City That Breathes in Poetry
Arrival at Srinagar Airport – breathe in your first whiff of pine, chill, and peace.

Glimpse floating gardens, ancient Mughal-era markets, and the golden glow of Char Chinar
