Day 1: Arrival in Srinagar • Shikara Ride • Royal Garden Walk

Your spring journey begins as our BookKashmir representative greets you at Srinagar Airport with a warm welcome and a bouquet of local almond blossoms—the first sign that spring has already arrived in the valley. After a smooth check-in at a premium hotel or houseboat, you are escorted for a serene shikara ride on Dal Lake. During spring, the floating gardens begin to sprout fresh lotus leaves, and the Zabarwan mountains reflect in pastel tones. You will then proceed to a gentle walk through Mughal Gardens—Nishat and Shalimar—where tulip buds and early magnolias bloom. Evening is free for a local cultural orientation and dinner prepared with traditional spring vegetables of Kashmir.

Day 2: Tulip Garden Festival • Botanical Trails • Bloom Photography Tour

This is the day you meet the magic. After breakfast, BookKashmir escorts you to the world-famous Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden. With over 1.5 million tulips in 60+ varieties, the entire hillside transforms into a surreal rainbow. You’ll explore curated flower lanes, Dutch hybrids, lily fields, and magnolia clusters. Our photography guide helps you capture floral portraits with the Dal Lake backdrop. Afterward, relax at the Botanical Garden and enjoy fresh saffron kahwa. Evening concludes with a sunset walk near Zabarwan slopes as the valley shifts from gold to pink hues.
