Destinations in Kashmir, Ladakh & Jammu
Three very different regions, planned by one local team in Srinagar.
Choosing between Kashmir, Ladakh and Jammu destinations is the first step of any trip to the north. Kashmir gives you lakes, meadows and snow. Ladakh gives you high passes and blue lakes. Jammu gives you temples and the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage.
We3 Holidays has planned trips across all three regions from Srinagar since 2008. Pick a region below, or read the guide to choose the right one for you.

Kashmir: lakes, meadows and snow in one valley
Kashmir changes completely with the seasons. You see tulips and almond blossom in spring, cool green meadows in summer, gold chinar leaves in autumn and deep snow in winter. Most trips start in Srinagar and fan out to Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg, each a few hours by road.

Ladakh: high passes, blue lakes and quiet monasteries
Ladakh is a cold high-altitude desert, open to tourists since 1974. You spend your days crossing mountain passes, visiting monasteries and sleeping by lakes like Pangong Tso. Leh sits at about 3,500 m, so the first day is always for rest.

Jammu: the gateway to the valley
Many journeys into Kashmir begin in Jammu, especially for travellers who arrive by train. The city is known for its temples, and it makes a comfortable overnight stop before the road climbs into the mountains. Katra, the base for Vaishno Devi, lies close by.
Explore JammuOne package, the Kashmir to Leh Ladakh Tour Package, covers both Kashmir and Ladakh, so it appears under both regions.
