  Mornings at Dal Lake are poetry in motion   Be that tourist who takes a Shikara ride on the Dal Lake. At sunset. Glide across the mirror like dal lake is a gorgeous little shikara. Lay back and take it the views of the mountains around you on one side, and the houseboats on the other. Marvel at the stunning reflection of the world in the water. And watch the water gobble up the sun while it colours the world in brilliant shades of orange. Also, be the traveler who wakes up at 5 to catch the sunrise at Dal Lake. Perks of waking up that early - you're the first shikara on the lake, you have it ALL to yourself. Visit the vegetable market, where the local vendors are selling their wares on shikara. Eat the kebabs near Dal Lake They are DELICIOUS. Take your pick from lamb, chicken or fish (or all, like, who's even stopping you), and watch how they sizzle and pop on the barbecue right in front of you. Dig in with a roomily roti and those AMAZING chutneys. Yum.

Lose yourself in the mirror of Dal Lake's waters

You'll depart from Srinagar early morning to get to Gulmarg by midday. Use this day to settle in and head up to Phase 2. Take a skiing lesson on Day 2. You won't regret it ???? Gondola to Phase 1, and then Phase 2 No one goes to Phase 2. Seriously. It's right up there, at 14000 ft, and the views will take your breath away (literally, in some cases, so pop a Diamox if you are prone to altitude sickness). You can hop across the rope barricade and crunch your way through the snow to a point where you can see Lahore and PoK. The only people you will see are the ones you're with. The only sounds you'll hear are those of the wind whistling through your hair. Imagine standing on a rock and gazing out at miles and miles of white, against the blue sky shot with clouds that move at a crazy pace. I did that. I didn't want to leave. When in Kashmir, be sure to try the lamb delicacies and biryanis. Also, local desserts - moong dal halwa and phirni. So delish! No better way to get back down from Phase 1 than to plonk yourself in a sled and get whipped around the slopes till you're back down (it's safe)! Wake up nice and early and hit the skiing zone for learners.you'll get to learn the basics of skiing - posture, balance, moving ahead, speeding up, slowing down, stopping.. It's a TON of fun! If you find it's your thing, go for the whole 7-day course that involves skiing down from the slopes of Phase 1, or even 2! *adrenalin rush WOOHOO!* Walk through the markets Familiarise yourself with the local wares, chat with the locals, and get some fun pictures as you walk back to your hotel through the market area.

The name Doodhpathri means Valley of Milk in Kashmiri. Folklore suggests that Kashmir’s revered saint and preacher, Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani (Nund Rishi) once struck his stick on the ground while looking for water to pray, and milk flowed out instead. This milk later turned into water that began flowing across the meadows, giving the area its name. The water in Doodhpathri still has a milky white appearance when viewed from a distance.  The more plausible explanation is that the region has always remained rich in milk production. The landscape of Doodhpathri consists of vast grassy slopes dotted with colourful wildflowers. It falls in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas and is surrounded by snow-clad mountains. The meadows are covered with pine and deodar forests. During winters, the entire area is blanketed under snow. In spring and summer, wildflowers like daisies and buttercups bloom across the meadows.

Pahalgam is 3-4 hours by road from Srinagar. Pahalgam is a land of valleys Aru Valley and Betaab Valley are by far the most famous ones, and if a day is all you got, hit 'em. Some of the best views of the valleys and the mountains can only be seen from beautiful points across the mountains, and you need a pony to get you there, because the roads aren't motorable, nor are they too convenient to quickly hike up and down from. Bollywood fans - this is where Bajrangi Bhaijaan was shot. It's a GORGEOUS, sprawling meadow, with trees fanning out, and the mountains towering over at you. Think ideal picnic spot. You can totally bring a picnic basket and a blanket, along with some board games and spend the entire day relaxing here! This flows through Pahalgam the visual of the river gurgling over rocks in the valley is stunning.

Head back to Srinagar from Gulmarg and stay the night. Leave early the next morning - around 8 - for Sonamarg. Here's where you will find the BEST snowscapes ever. Here's the thing. You can only go up to a certain point in your vehicle. After that, you will have to switch to a local taxi with a local guide. You will also have to switch over to rubber boots if you're going in winter, and trust me, you'll need them. Sonmarg is an ideal stopover for nature lovers who want to enjoy camping in a hill station. Known as the Meadow of Gold, Sonmarg is the gateway to Ladakh and is known for its verdant and picturesque valleys and snow-clad peaks.
