    The tour I took Wes personalized for me and included staying in a houseboat in Srinagar, and visiting gardens. Gulmarg was amazing taking the gondola to first phase and able to do snow activities. Pahalgam was also nice. My favorite was staying in Leh for three days. It is the most beautiful place surrounded by desert and snow covered peaks. Visiting Monastery’s
