Pahalgam, The Abode of Shepherd, is quoted as the  Switzerland of the East. With the beautiful snowy terrain and mountain bikes, you can jet across the valley to your heart’s content. Feel the wind in your hair as the cold numbs your nose, and trek to its hidden gems, such as Baisaran Valley, also known as Mini Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Meadow of Gold<\/h2>\n\n\n

Yes, Sonamarg, translated as the “Golden Meadow”, is a sight to behold in the winters when the sunlight hits the snow-laden ground; it indeed looks like it’s covered in gold. A name truly apt and fitting for this marvellous sight to behold. Even if you arrive in the summer, Sonamarg’s glacial secrets, whether a trek to Thajiwas Glacier or visiting this fantastic place called “Zero Point”, will always satisfy your cravings for the chills. Zero point always has a near 0-degree temperature throughout the year. Amazing, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The floating market on the Dal lake is an experience to cherish, with once in a lifetime opportunity to shop while floating on a relaxing Shikara, it’s an experience to tick off the bucket list. It does not end there, you can experience a stay on the famous Dal lake with a plethora of houseboat options, that suit every budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list can go on for pages; the essence is that Kashmir is celebrated for its beauty, weather, people, cuisine and distinct experiences.
