Day 1: Arrival and Houseboat Check-in

Arrival into Srinagar and a private transfer to a traditional, well-maintained houseboat on Dal Lake. Settle into a comfortable, lake-facing suite. The afternoon includes a gentle shikara ride through floating gardens and narrow canals, introducing you to local flora and the rhythm of lake life. In the evening, enjoy a hosted Kashmiri dinner on board with a host who shares family recipes and local stories.

Day 2: Mughal Gardens & Old City Walk

After breakfast, a guided visit to Nishat and Shalimar Gardens — classic examples of Mughal horticulture. Continue to the old city: visit artisan workshops (papier-mâché, pashmina), and the historic Jamia Masjid. Lunch is a relaxed affair at a recommended local eatery. Return to the houseboat for a late afternoon siesta and an optional sunset photography session.

Day 3: Local Markets and Departure
