PACKAGE OVERVIEW
When the Valley Wakes is a short journey designed for travellers who want to experience Kashmir without being overwhelmed by it.
Instead of rushing through too many places, this itinerary focuses on three defining moods of the valley: Water & gardens in Srinagar, Altitude & stillness in Gulmarg, and Open rivers & valleys in Pahalgam.
Each day carries one clear theme. Sightseeing is meaningful, not crowded. Evenings are left open — because Kashmir is best felt when nothing is forced. This is the ideal first encounter with the valley — calm, safe, and unforgettable.
