What to do and see in Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir: The Best Sightseeing Tours

October 17, 2021 Misti Hsu

The valley of Kashmir is as rich with history and political controversy as it is with culture and natural phenomena. Sample exquisitely spiced native cuisines and festive teas, then walk off your meal along the rugged trekking routes to the north. Marvel at the famous houseboats of Srinagar and take a spiritual moment to reflect at one of the many pilgrimage sites and religious shrines that dot the region. Of course, native craftsmanship makes for excellent souvenirs—carpets and textiles are an especial shopping must.

The Gurez Valley Cycling Trail  is the most serene and one of the best and adventurous cycling routes of Kashmir. The route has less traffic. It is an amazing trip to get introduced with magical and remote Kingdom of Gurez. While biking on through this route, we visit beautiful lakes (Mansbal and Wular), remote Mountain Villages and High altitude pastures like Tragbal. there are the ruins of many forts and castles, some built in some pretty unlikely places! It is a fairly long route, crossing Razdan Pass at 3500m and has the fine objective of visiting the remotest villages of Gurez.

One of the best treks of my life. Kolahoi trek offers splendid mountain beauty. Although the trek is not an easy go but it's a worth to go on the trek. Walking through the pine forest and meadows is the highlight of the trek. I did the trek with my friends. We were three people and booked through Kashmir Treks. The staff was friendly and informative. The equipment was of a good quality. We recommend Kashmir Treks.

Recently, we visited kashmir before that we were little worried as we hear alot in news about this place. However, we wanted to visit and explore the beauty of Kashmir and trust me our thoughts regarding this place has completely changed. This is a cool place with good people and their good hospitality. I'm happy that i have visited this place and spent good time. And before coming we have checked reviews and contacted few agencies and finally chose Sunway travels because of this guy named Nissar Wani as he got good reviews over Google. So we called him and trust me he gave us best and reasonable package also he gave us choice that if we are not happy with his package he can provide his cab services and we can book hotel's on our own but as we were happy with package so we went with his package plan. Coming to experience in kashmir we had a good time and great experience and our plan was for 5N & 6D - Sonmarg,Gulmarg, Srinagar local tourism places, Pahalgam and Dal lake and Houseboat and had good time and enjoyed alot and this happend because of nissar as he guided and showed us good places and we had a good experience. Also, apart from package you have many activities in kashmir which are not included in package which we can bargain and try with our affordable price as they ask more. Overall spent good time and will recommend to go with Sunway travels if you are travelling kashmir as our experience was good.
