Splendid Kashmir Tour

The faculty members of SFS PU College were given an exclusive opportunity to unwind from work and rejuvenate with a five-day whirlwind tour to Kashmir. A team of seventeen faculty members, along with Principal Fr. Staney Rodrigues, set out enthusiastically to have a whale of a time on holiday.

The stunning view of the Himalayan mountain ranges before landing at Srinagar Airport remained one of the most thrilling memories of the trip. It set their hearts yearning for more enchanting views and experiences. True to their expectations, the breathtaking beauty of Kashmir-with its awe-inspiring lush green landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and mighty rivers-added an ethereal charm to nature's splendor. The team explored every sightseeing destination in harmony with nature, taking in the beauty to their hearts' content.

Following the itinerary, they began their journey with a calm and soothing boat ride on Dal Lake, soaking in the serene surroundings. The mesmerizing golden- yellow sunset over the lake, viewed from the Mughal Gardens, left them spellbound.The sightseeing journeys on their way from the hotel, 'The Golden Leaf' to Sonamarg, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam on respective days, were refreshing, offering ample time to bond and enjoy the picturesque surroundings.

Besides, they thoroughly enjoyed the nail-biting moments of the trip while sledging, snow biking, taking cable rides, and going on pony rides. The child in everyone awakened, and they engaged joyfully in every activity.

The snowfall at Gulmarg and Sonamarg was just the icing on the cake, as it was a much-awaited and longed-for moment for the entire team.

In between sightseeing, they managed to squeeze in some brisk shopping at Mecca Market in Lal Chowk, Srinagar.

All in all, it was an unforgettable experience that the team will cherish for a lifetime. They returned successfully and cheerfully to Bangalore on March 22, 2025, carrying with them loads of enchanting memories
