This itinerary stitches together two of North India’s most compelling experiences: the inner calm of Vaishno Devi’s sacred trek and the jaw-dropping landscapes of Kashmir — Mughal gardens, a houseboat on Dal Lake, snowy meadows in Gulmarg, the Sindh River corridor to Sonmarg, and the pastoral charm of Pahalgam. Finish with the golden glow of Amritsar’s Harmandir Sahib and the stirring Wagah border ceremony — a complete sensory and spiritual circuit. 🌸🚤
