- 08 - Srinagar Getaway |

This
is a a classic flight getaway for the Summers and Winters. Summers
get visited for enjoying some good weather beating the heat in the
plains. Winter is about enjoying the snow experience.

Expert
View - Typically repeat visitors to Kashmir seeking a mix of
luxury and relaxation, stay put in Srinagar at a lakeside resort
while enjoying the lake experience and Kashmiri hospitality.
Gulmarg and Pahalgam are more scenic but do not have
personalised hospitality of houseboats and luxury of some of the
lakeside hotels. Ideal for a romantic getaway ( ). |
