“The most beautiful valley on Earth has villages nobody visits. Until now.”
The valley west of Ladakh — meadows, alpine lakes, Mughal gardens, and villages that the package-tour circuit skips. Srinagar's Dal Lake and Mughal-era gardens anchor the standard trip; Gulmarg is one of Asia's better ski destinations; Pahalgam is the Amarnath yatra base; Sonamarg, Yusmarg and Bangus Valley offer quieter alpine grazing meadows. Gurez and Kishtwar reopen each summer once the passes clear. Inner Line Permits required for some border zones. 17 destinations across the state.
