Adventure – Kashmir

Location & Detailed Plan

Our Kashmir Tour follows the Neelum Valley Road, which runs parallel to Neelum River. The entire journey dovetails between the serenity of high mountains on one side and a deep river on the other in addition to dozens of waterfalls. The road twists and turns, running alongside the river at some places and at an elevation of several hundred meters at others. The road can be bumpy in places and a 4×4 is required for the latter part of the journey. However, these small inconveniences do not take away from the sheer beauty and evolving panoramic views on offer throughout the route.   The Kashmir Tour begins from Islamabad for a duration of 7 days.  The scenery and beauty on offer through the entire route is breathtaking! Your Guide will meet and greet you at the pre-agreed meeting point and hold a group briefing on the tour itinerary, health & safety guidelines and other paperwork.
