There are places in Kashmir where time doesn’t rush, where the air feels sweeter, and where mornings arrive dressed in petals.
Welcome to the Apple Blossom Village Retreat — a handcrafted countryside escape designed for dreamers, nature lovers, writers, slow travelers, and anyone seeking a deep breath of life.
This journey takes you into Kashmir’s orchard belt—where apple trees bloom like floating clouds, where villagers press fresh juice the old way, and where your evenings unfold under lantern lights and stories passed down through generations.
No noise.
No hurry.
Just Kashmir… in its purest, softest form.
