Kashmir, in all shades of autumn

9 Days and 8 Nights
•
Kashmir

Fall in Kashmir is something to fall for...literally!

The autumn in Kashmir is also known as "The golden season of Kashmir". The Autumn in Kashmir is in the months of September to mid November. The gorgeous green of the poplars and chimars turn a vivid yellow to ochre to orange and red. Lanes and meadows littered by the vibrant fallen leaves make a spectacle like no where in our country. The nip in the air is palpable and it's calm and serene everywhere.

Here are our 9 Days and 8 Nights Kashmir trip iteneraries we have curated after thorough research and personal experiences, which would give you a good idea to start with. All of these iteneraries are readily customizable and we would be too glad to make the alterations as per your preferences.
