PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Golden Chinar is a seasonal journey created around Kashmir’s brief but breathtaking autumn. As the valley turns gold, crowds thin, skies clear, and the pace of life slows naturally.
This itinerary follows that rhythm — gentle mornings, warm afternoons, and evenings wrapped in stillness. There is no snow chasing. No packed sightseeing. Just colour, clarity, and calm.
This edition is perfect for travelers who want to see Kashmir at its most cinematic — without noise.
