Kashmir Winter Expedition

Presenting our first Kashmir Winter Expedition in association with Black Top & Beyond where one gets a chance to experience snow driving in the valleys and mountains of the winter wonderland that is Kashmir.

We will first explore the snow covered meadows of the Pir Panjals, Dudhpathri and Yusmarg in south Kashmir. Then we move towards Kupwara in the northern part of Kashmir and drive up to the Shamshabari Mountains, the beautiful and picturesque Lolab valley and attempt to reach Bangus meadows. In the latter part of the expedition we will head towards eastern Kashmir and drive around slopes of the Great Himalayan Range, attempt trails leading to Margan and Sinthan passes and visit the stunning Daksum forests.

This expedition will be a novel Kashmir experience. Do expect a lot of snow (and snowfall) during this expertly curated journey of a lifetime.
