Kashmir

Kashmir invites you to slow down: to follow the changing colours of an orchard, walk through alpine meadows and discover the everyday life of a mountain village. Juniper Outdoor specialises in curated Kashmir holidays that bring these experiences together with the valley's celebrated lakes and heritage. Srinagar's houseboats, Mughal gardens and markets offer one perspective; the landscapes beyond the city offer another. Our approach is to connect them thoughtfully, making space for active days, cultural encounters and quieter moments rather than turning a holiday into a hurried sequence of sights.

The journeys in our Kashmir collection reflect the valley's many moods. The Vale of Kashmir follows springtime blossoms, while our autumn journey explores seasonal colours around Srinagar. Gurez takes you into a remote valley of alpine meadows and traditional Dard-Shin villages. For walkers, the Tarsar Lake trek brings flower-filled meadows and high mountain lakes into focus. Skiing 101 in Gulmarg offers a different kind of adventure, with experienced instructors supporting beginners and intermediate skiers. These are distinct experiences, chosen to let you discover Kashmir through its landscapes, seasons and people, not simply through its best-known photographs.

With Juniper Outdoor, a bespoke Kashmir holiday starts with what makes travel meaningful to you. You may prefer gentle day walks and Himalayan lodges, a more demanding trek, or a journey shared with like-minded travellers. We handpick experiences with a wholesome balance of movement, discovery and time together, and favour quieter settings wherever the route allows. For private travel, the emphasis is on a journey that feels personal, away from the rush and chaos of a packed itinerary.
