Kashmir has long been more than a landscape — it’s a living prayer.
“The Sufi Trail – Mystics of the Valley” is a 6-day spiritual-cultural journey that takes you through the shrines, music, and poetry of Kashmir’s most revered saints and mystics.
Walk where saints once preached peace, listen to the haunting notes of Kashmiri Sufiana Kalam, and let the fragrance of chinar leaves and incense guide your heart inward.
This experience is ideal for spiritual travelers, writers, photographers, and culture enthusiasts seeking a deeper connection with the Valley beyond its beauty — into its soul.

Begin your spiritual sojourn in Srinagar, where sacred waters reflect centuries of devotion.
Visit the serene Hazratbal Shrine, home to a relic believed to belong to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The calm of Dal Lake and the white marble dome set the tone for your inward journey.
Later, explore the majestic Khanqah of Shah Hamdan (Shah-e-Hamdan) on the banks of the Jhelum — an architectural gem adorned with papier-mâché interiors and calligraphy. As you listen to local ziyarat tales, feel the quiet hum of faith that has endured through generations.
Evening at leisure in a heritage houseboat on Dal Lake, surrounded by the reflection of prayer lamps and the scent of cedar wood.
A scenic drive leads to Chrar-e-Sharif, one of the most important Sufi shrines in Kashmir, dedicated to Sheikh Noor-ud-din Noorani (Nund Rishi) — the mystic who united Kashmir’s spiritual traditions.
Spend time in prayer, conversation, and reflection with local caretakers who share centuries-old oral histories of the saint.
Later, check into a village homestay nearby, where you’ll share a traditional meal with a local family — experiencing Kashmiri hospitality and stories of faith that live on through the people.
Travel to a small artisan settlement near Srinagar where generations of Sufi musicians preserve the ancient art of Sufiana Kalam — the classical devotional music of Kashmir.
You’ll meet families who handcraft instruments like the Santoor and Kashmiri Sitar, and perhaps even attend a private musical performance at sunset.
Their music, born of longing and divine love, becomes your bridge between the earthly and the eternal.
End your journey in the pristine meadows of Doodhpathri — “The Valley of Milk.”
Spend two days in a reflection retreat surrounded by pine forests, bubbling streams, and the hush of nature.
Morning meditation sessions, guided journaling, and poetry circles invite you to absorb the essence of all you’ve experienced — not as a tourist, but as a seeker touched by the valley’s mysticism.
Depart with a calm heart, a journal full of verses, and a whisper of Kashmir’s timeless peace within you.
