Tour Overview
Kashmir has been celebrated as 'Paradise on Earth' for centuries — and for couples beginning their journey together, no destination in India is more romantic. The Kashmir Honeymoon Dream is crafted to deliver the most intimate, beautiful and unforgettable start to your married life, set against the most spectacular mountain scenery in Asia.
Stay in a luxury decorated houseboat on the still waters of Dal Lake — waking to mountain reflections and the sound of shikara oars.
