Trip Overview
Kashmir has inspired love poetry for 700 years — from the Sufi verses of Lal Ded to the films of Bollywood directors who chose its meadows as the backdrop for their most romantic scenes. It is not hard to understand why. The combination of still water reflecting snow peaks, the scent of chinar forests in autumn, the sound of the Lidder River at dusk, and the warmth of a Kashmiri houseboat lit by oil lamps creates a romantic environment that is utterly unlike anywhere else in India. NorthYatra's Kashmir Honeymoon Package is curated with love for every detail. Your journey begins aboard a deluxe heritage houseboat on Dal Lake with a rose-petal welcome, a honeymoon cake and a private candlelight Shikara ride at sunset — just the two of you, gliding past the reflected mountains on still water. The next morning brings a surprise sunrise Shikara through the floating flower market, where lotus blooms are sold by boat vendors in the mist. Gulmarg delivers the snow play that every honeymoon here is famous for — either skiing and snowboarding in winter, or a Gondola ride above the clouds in summer, followed by a private walk through the wildflower meadows of Khilanmarg. Pahalgam's Baisaran meadow — the Mini Switzerland of India — is the setting for pony rides for two and the kind of photographs that become lifetime favourites. A candlelight dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Lidder River completes the Pahalgam evening. This 6-day package is the most complete romantic Kashmir experience available. Special touches included: rose-petal room decoration, welcome cake, candlelight Shikara ride, honeymoon greeting card and preferred window seats at restaurants throughout.
