1. Kashmir Circuit – The Heavenly Circuit

Known for their stunning glaciers, the natural tranquility of the mesmerizing Himalayas invites you to ramble these impressively tall mountains. Don't miss out on Dal Lake, lined by utopian Mughal Gardens. We also suggest the Betaab Valley to enjoy the mystical pine forests and the flowing Lidder River. Or if you feel like practicing your golf swing, head to Gulmarg golf club. 
 
Make sure you visit Katra, one of the most scenic towns in the Jammu and Kashmir territory, known for Goddess Vaishno Devi's famous temple, where you can admire or even pay your respects to the religious figure.
