Walk the purple fields where history, fragrance, and flavour were born.
Long before Kashmir became famous for its lakes and meadows, it was known for something far more precious — saffron.
A flower so delicate that it blooms for only a few weeks…
A spice so powerful that ancient kings traded gold for it…
A heritage so rich that it still defines the heart of Pampore, Kashmir’s legendary saffron town.
The Saffron Kingdom is a sensory, cultural, and culinary journey through purple fields, artisans’ homes, ancient land, and the stories woven into every stigmas of the Crocus flower.
This tour is designed for explorers, food lovers, photographers, and heritage seekers who want Kashmir beyond the postcards.
Walk the fields.
Hear the stories.
Taste the harvest.
