Sikh Shrines of Kashmir Valley

On arrival at Srinagar airport, our office representative will meet and greet you outside the airport terminal building, and transfer you to your hotel for 02-night’s stay.

(Srinagar, bewitches not only the tourists who visit here but every person who shares this beautiful land. It is called the city of lakes and the Venice of the East with snow laden great Himalayan Mountains all around. In the lap of these mountains lie the glittering lakes that are surrounded by houseboat and Shikaras and the majesty of Mughal architecture. Spread on both sides of the river Jhelum the city is famous for its natural beauty, gardens, waterfronts, and houseboats. The very absence of order in the location of the houses and their tumbled down appearance add a peculiar charm to the scenery. It has its own quaint lifestyle, telling a panoramic fairy-tale tour through the snow-capped mountains and Chinar trees, while enjoying the adventurous pleasures of hiking, mountain biking, and rafting. The city is also famous for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and dried fruit.)

In the evening, experience the shikara ride with your loved one while rowing heart-shaped pedals, soaking up the beauty of Zabarwan hills with your favourite music and sipping a warm cup of Kashmiri tea- Kehwa with our compliments.

Rest of the day at leisure. B&D

After breakfast check out of the hotel & drive to Pahalgam. ‘Valley of Shepherds'. Enroute you will have a rare opportunity to visit the Saffron fields and Gurudwara Sri Guru Nanak Sahib, Awantipora, known as Charan Asthan Guru Nanak Sahib Ji, marking the place where Guru Nanak Dev Ji stayed with Bhai Mardana. His visit spread the message of peace, love, and spiritual enlightenment in the Valley.

On arrival in Pahalgam, check in your hotel for 02 Night’s stay.

Pahalgam is situated at the union of the streams flowing from Lidder River in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Pahalgam, known as a popular tourist destination and hill station. Pahalgam is the headquarters of one of the five tehsils of Anantnag district. On arrival at the hotel a welcome drink will be served.

In the evening, enjoy a walk near the Lidder River bank; take a stroll around and chuck few pebbles in the river at the Lidder View Park, right in the centre of town. B&D

After breakfast, drive towards Gulmarg. On the way, stop at Mattan Sahib, a revered site linked to Guru Nanak’s journeys. This sacred place offers a meaningful opportunity to experience Sikh heritage and connect with the rich spiritual traditions that flourish within Kashmir’s diverse cultural landscape.

(Gurdwara Guru Nanak Sahib, also known as Pahli Patshaie Mattan Sahib, is located on the Anantnag-Pahalgam road at Mattan town. This historic Gurdwara was constructed in sacred memory of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who visited Mattan Sahib in 1517 during his third Udasi (Missionary Travel) and stayed here for thirteen days. During his stay, Guru Nanak Dev ji held a spiritual dialogue with Pandit Brahm Das, a distinguished Sanskrit scholar of the time. Pandit Brahm Das, proud of his vast scriptural knowledge, brought books from the Bijbehara Hindu University of Religious Education to support his views. Through this discourse, Guru Nanak Dev Ji conveyed his divine message, which is recorded in the Assa ki Vaar (on page 467 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji). Guru Ji also journeyed to Mansarovar, Tibet, China and Ladakh via Pahalgam, spreading his universal message of truth, humility, and devotion. The Gurdwara at Mattan Sahib thus holds immense spiritual and historical significance for the Sikh community and for the cultural heritage of Jammu & Kashmir.

Pandit Braham Dass was deeply moved by Guru Nanak’s divine teachings and fell at the Guru’s feet, pledging to follow his path. Guru Sahib stayed for a few days at Pandit Brahm Das’s residence in Bijbehara. During this time, a Muslim saint, Kamal-ud-din-sufi, also engaged in spiritual and religious discussions with Guru Sahib).

After prayers proceed towards Gulmarg. En-route you get to see the beautiful Tangmarg town and drive ahead on a scenic drive of 14 kilometers to Gulmarg. Gulmarg is a hill station in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. The town is situated in pir Panjal range in the western Himalayas at an altitude of 2,650 meters (690 ft). The name Gulmarg, literally translating into “meadows of flowers” was awarded by sultan Yusuf shah chak who frequented the palace with his wife Habba Khatoon in the 16th century.

On arrival at Gulmarg, check-in hotel.

(Gulmarg is sheer poetry in nature. While this is the summer landscape of this tiny hamlet in Kashmir, in winter, it is transformed into a white wonderland, with skiers making a beeline for its famous slopes. The scenic valley of Gulmarg is a little piece of paradise cocooned by the mighty snow-clad mountains of the Pir Panjal range. Emerald green meadows, deep ravines and pine-forested hills make this meadow of flowers (the meaning of Gulmarg) an ethereal sight that has inspired poets and artists for centuries.)

Rest of the evening at leisure. D

After a leisurely breakfast, check-out hotel and drive to Srinagar airport to connect your flight back to home.
