Kashmir Iternary for 7 days

  I recently visited Kashmir in the month of May 2023 and I want to describe my experience of my visit and places i  visited. I had a local contact in Srinagar who managed my travel and hotel bookings for 7 days. I started my journey from Mumbai, my plan was Srinigar 1 night, pahalgam 2 nights, Sonmarg 2 night, Gulmarg one night. 1. Srinagar- If you are travelling from any place in India, Srinagar is the place where you need to land first, Srinagar offers many hotel options including houseboat stays. One night stay in houseboat is sufficient. As the other attractions such as Pahalgam, Sonmarg and Gulmarg are within 100 km radius, Srinagar can be made base to access these locations. I visited the local attractions such as Mughal Garden, Shanakaracharya temple, art and craft shops and shikara ride as part of the first day activities. Handloom such as carpets and Kashmiri printed dress materials are unique things to buy as well as carved wooden furniture made out of walnut tree wood. One
