A personal note from Dilip Karar,

Owner, Geetanjali Travels

For years, I have had the privilege of helping people explore the incredible beauty of our country. But there is one destination that holds a special place in the hearts of so many, a place often spoken of in whispers of wonder: Kashmir. Perhaps you’ve seen it in classic films or heard stories from friends, dreaming that one day you would experience its magic for yourself.

I am here to tell you that this timeless dream is not just possible, but it is waiting for you, ready to be enjoyed with absolute comfort and peace of mind. At Geetanjali Travels, we believe travel is not about rushing from one point to another; it's about soaking in the moments that stay with you forever.

The Gentle Embrace of Srinagar

Imagine gliding across the shimmering waters of Dal Lake on a shikara. There is no engine noise, only the gentle dip of the paddle and the soft breeze carrying the fragrance of pine and cedar. You see floating gardens of lotus and lilies, and life unfolding at a pace that feels both ancient and deeply calming. This isn't just a boat ride; it's a poem in motion.

Our specially chosen houseboats offer a unique stay, where you can wake up to the gentle lapping of water against the wood and enjoy a hot cup of tea on your private balcony, watching the sun rise over the Himalayas.

Leisurely Strolls Through Gardens of History

The Mughal Gardens of Srinagar – Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, Chashme Shahi – are not just tourist spots; they are odes to serenity. Picture yourself taking a leisurely stroll along manicured lawns, beside cascading fountains and beds of vibrant flowers. These gardens were designed for royalty to relax and reflect, and that is precisely the experience we wish for you. They are perfect for a quiet afternoon, finding a shaded bench, and simply absorbing the majestic scenery.

The Whispering Meadows of Gulmarg and Pahalgam

The journey to Gulmarg and Pahalgam is as beautiful as the destinations themselves. We travel in comfortable vehicles, allowing you to witness the landscape change from bustling towns to serene valleys, without a worry.

Gulmarg, the "Meadow of Flowers": The famed Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest in the world, gently lifts you above the valley, offering breathtaking panoramic views without a strenuous climb. At the top, you are greeted by vast, open meadows. Here, you can sit and marvel at the snow-capped peaks, take a gentle walk, or perhaps enjoy a quiet pony ride. The air is crisp, clean, and utterly rejuvenating.
Pahalgam, the "Valley of Shepherds": Nestled on the banks of the Lidder River, Pahalgam is the heart of tranquility. It's a place to connect with nature at your own pace. Listen to the soothing sound of the river, visit the serene Betaab Valley (named after the classic film), and feel the calm of the valley seep into your soul.
