A Kashmir trip for couple travellers is one of India's most romantic holidays, and it does not take much to make it special. Quiet stays, a slow pace and a couple of thoughtful touches go a long way.
This guide covers the most romantic things to do and how to plan a trip that feels like it is just for the two of you.
What makes a Kashmir trip for couple travellers special?
A houseboat night, a sunset Shikara ride and mornings that start in the mountains.
Waking up in Gulmarg or beside the Lidder in Pahalgam, rather than day-tripping, turns a sightseeing trip into a romantic one.
Where should couples stay?
Nigeen Lake for a quiet houseboat, and river-facing rooms in Pahalgam.
Nigeen is calmer and more private than central Dal Lake. In Pahalgam, a river-facing room means falling asleep to the sound of the Lidder.
How do you add honeymoon touches?
Tell your operator in advance, not on arrival.
With notice we can arrange flower decoration, a cake and a candlelit dinner, which are hard to organise on the spot.
When is the best time for a couples' trip?
Any season has its charm: snow in winter, tulips in spring, meadows in summer, golden chinars in autumn.
Seasonal road and weather details are on the J&K Department of Tourism site.
