A slower itinerary
Arrive in Srinagar, where your personal chauffeur and Velora representative welcome you with traditional Kashmiri hospitality. Check into your luxury hotel overlooking the Dal Lake. Spend the evening unwinding as the mountains cast their reflection across the calm waters.
Begin your day with a peaceful Shikara ride across Dal Lake before exploring the Mughal Gardens—Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. Stroll through Srinagar's heritage streets, discovering local handicrafts, Pashmina boutiques, and centuries-old traditions.
Journey to Gulmarg, Kashmir's alpine wonderland. Take the world-famous Gondola ride for breathtaking Himalayan views or simply enjoy a leisurely walk through flower-filled meadows. As evening falls, relax beside a warm fireplace at your mountain retreat.
Today is intentionally unhurried. Choose between nature walks, horse riding, golfing (seasonal), or simply enjoying the crisp mountain air from your resort.
Travel through saffron fields and picturesque villages to reach Pahalgam. Along the way, visit the ancient Avantipur Ruins before arriving at your riverside luxury retreat. Spend the evening listening to the soothing sounds of the Lidder River.
Discover the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Pahalgam. Visit Aru Valley, Betaab Valley, and Chandanwari, each offering a different perspective of Kashmir's natural beauty. Return to your resort for a relaxed evening.
Embark on a full-day excursion to Sonamarg, where lush meadows meet towering glaciers. Take in panoramic views, enjoy peaceful riverside moments, and experience one of Kashmir's most spectacular landscapes before returning to Srinagar.
A day reserved for discovering Srinagar at your own pace. Browse local boutiques for authentic Pashmina, handcrafted carpets, walnut wood carvings, and papier-mâché art, or relax at your hotel overlooking Dal Lake.
Enjoy your final day embracing Kashmir's serene beauty. Celebrate your unforgettable journey with a specially curated farewell dinner featuring traditional Wazwan flavours.
After breakfast, transfer to Srinagar Airport for your onward journey. Leave with more than photographs—depart with memories of misty mountains, timeless lakes, warm hospitality, and the quiet elegance that defines Kashmir.

Important information
The practical detail behind the journey — the parts we plan around so they never come as a surprise.
The Velora difference
Luxury isn't measured by stars alone—it's found in quiet mornings on Dal Lake, conversations over Kahwa, the scent of pine forests, and moments that stay with you long after the journey ends.
