The Saffron Festival is usually held for three days. Here, you can see up close and personal the fields of saffron – the most valuable spice in the world. Witness how the golden spice is harvested, and you can also buy directly from the source! You will definitely have a great story to tell the next time you invite guests over a biryani dinner, or over a bowl of delicious kheer garnished with saffron.
Houseboat Festival is aimed at celebrating Kashmir Valley’s unique traditional shikaras and their role in promoting tourism in the valley. Without a doubt, the Kashmiri houseboats do attract a lot of tourists from all over the country. Shikara rides on Dal Lake are always so dreamy!
This year, Kashmir has recorded an impressive number of tourists, and is expecting to see a similar flow during the winter months as well. Also, Kashmir has decided to let the popular tourist destinations remain open during the winter months.
