If there is heaven on earth, it’s here. It’s here, it’s here – Jehangir
In the winters Kashmir is transformed into a white carpeted heaven. The beauty of Kashmir in the winters is indescribable. Nothing in the world looks prettier than the snow-covered towns. Kashmir has some exquisite and exotic attractions; you can also try your hand at skiing. The Road trip takes you through enchanting fir forests right out of childhood fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel. They are bowed low with snow coating the trees and heaped on the forest floor. The scenic beauty, gurgling river and meadows are by themselves reason enough to visit this place

It was my first trekking experience and I am glad I planned it with the best. Overall experience was very great. The weather, the people, the view everything at its best. Wandering souls made my first trekking experience memorable. Looking forward to planning more trips with them.

Trekking with wandering souls was a safe and good experience. The team leads were genuinely caring and made sure of everyone's safety despite having a large group.The trek was well designed and it also had an introduction session which served as an icebreaker and made the batch more friendly towards eachother. The crowd was decent and blending, you can meet and make new friends. It was my first time trekking with a group and I would join them soon 💪🏽👍🏽
