01
Journey Overview
A polished first reading of the journey
Kashmir is planned around lake light, garden seasons and the changing conditions of the valley, with a calm base and flexible days rather than constant road movement.
The route leaves room for a shikara at the right hour, a garden when it is in bloom and mountain views when the weather opens.
