Welcome to Nature Connect Travels. We aren’t just another Kashmir travel agency; we are storytellers, adventurers, and most importantly, children of this magnificent valley. Our story began not in a boardroom, but on the pristine slopes of Gulmarg and the tranquil shikara rides on Dal Lake.
Founded by a group of avid travelers and local guides, Nature Connect was born from a simple, powerful belief: everyone deserves to experience the soul-stirring magic of Kashmir, just as we have our entire lives. We grew tired of seeing visitors get rushed through generic itineraries. We knew they were missing the hidden gems, the quiet moments, and the authentic connections that transform a simple holiday in Kashmir into a lifelong memory.
That’s why we set out to do things differently. We are your bridge to the true heart of this paradise.
When you plan a trip to Kashmir, you’re not just booking a vacation; you’re investing in an experience. We understand that, and it reflects in everything we do.
Local Expertise, Global Standards: Our team is comprised of native Kashmiris whose knowledge of the region’s roads, weather, culture, and hidden spots is unmatched. We combine this intimate local insight with professional, reliable service that meets international expectations.
Tailor-Made Journeys, Just for You: We passionately believe no two journeys should be the same. Whether you’re searching for romantic Kashmir packages for couples, an action-packed adventure tour in Kashmir, or a serene family holiday in Kashmir, we listen to your dreams and craft a personalized itinerary that feels made only for you.
Beyond the Brochure: While we ensure you see the iconic sights like Pahalgam and Sonamarg, we take you further. Imagine a private picnic in a hidden meadow, a cup of Kahwa with a local family, or a guided walk through apple orchards in bloom. These are the moments we specialize in.
Our carefully curated Kashmir tour packages are designed to showcase the incredible diversity of the valley. We don’t just sell trips; we create narratives for your journey.

We educate our guests on respecting the delicate ecosystem and the rich cultural tapestry of Kashmir. When you travel with us, you are making a positive impact.
Kashmir is more than a destination on a map; it’s a feeling. It’s the chill in the air as you ascend the Gulmarg Gondola, the scent of pine forests in Pahalgam, and the warm smiles of its people.
We invite you to move beyond the search for “Kashmir tourism” and “Kashmir vacation packages.” Let’s have a conversation. Tell us your travel dreams, and let us, your local experts, design a Kashmir trip that you will cherish forever.

If you were to ask us what the soul of Nature Connect Travels is, we would point you to Aamir. He isn’t just our Founder and CEO on paper; he is the living, breathing embodiment of our promise to you. His story is the foundation upon which every one of our Kashmir tour packages is built.
Aamir wasn’t born in a hotel boardroom; he was born and raised in the very shadow of the Himalayas that you dream of visiting. His first classroom was the meadow behind his home in Pahalgam; his first adventure was learning to row a shikara on Dal Lake alongside his father. For years, he worked as one of the most sought-after local guides in the valley, his innate warmth and deep knowledge turning first-time visitors into lifelong friends of Kashmir.
It was during these years that Aamir saw a gap. He noticed that many Kashmir travel agencies were offering rushed, impersonal tours that skimmed the surface of this profound land. They saw Kashmir as a product, not a passion. Aamir saw travelers leaving with beautiful photos but having missed the true essence—the shared stories over Kahwa, the hidden trails known only to locals, the quiet magic that can’t be scheduled.
Driven by a mission to share his Kashmir, he founded Nature Connect Travels.
If Aamir is the passionate soul of Nature Connect Travels, then Faizan is its steadfast backbone. As our Co-founder, Faizan is the meticulous architect who transforms the dream of a perfect holiday in Kashmir into a flawlessly executed reality. Where Aamir charts the path to magic, Faizan ensures the journey there is smooth, comfortable, and utterly worry-free.
Faizan’s story is one of deep-rooted local connections and an innate talent for orchestration. Hailing from a family with generations of history in Srinagar, his understanding of the valley’s intricate logistics is unparalleled. Before co-founding Nature Connect Travels, he cut his teeth in the hospitality and adventure tourism sector, managing everything from high-altitude trekking in Kashmir to complex travel arrangements for international groups.
He saw firsthand how logistical hiccups—a poorly chosen vehicle, a miscommunication with a hotel, an inflexible itinerary—could shatter the tranquility of a long-awaited trip to Kashmir. He knew that true immersion could only happen when every practical detail was handled with precision and foresight.
Behind every seamless journey and unforgettable Kashmir tour package stands a foundation of financial integrity, meticulously managed by Ziya, our dedicated Accountant. While our guides lead you through the meadows of Gulmarg and our operations team coordinates your stay on Dal Lake, Ziya works diligently behind the scenes to ensure the absolute financial health and transparency of NatureConnect Travels.
Ziya’s meticulous attention to detail and unwavering ethical standards form the bedrock of the trust you place in us. Her expertise guarantees that every aspect of your Kashmir vacation package—from vendor partnerships to operational costs—is handled with professionalism and accuracy. This allows us to invest confidently in the quality experiences we promise, ensuring that your holiday in Kashmir is not only magical but also backed by a company of sound financial principle. She may not be on the front lines of your adventure, but her role is vital in safeguarding the trust that allows your journey to flourish.
They are the warm, welcoming voices that greet you and the meticulous planners who bring your dream itinerary to life. Arooj, Seerat, Farah, Fariha, and Aliya are the heart of our front-line team, your dedicated Tour Coordinators. This talented group is your first point of contact, transforming your initial inquiry into the perfect Kashmir tour package, tailored just for you.
Each coordinator brings her own unique strength to the table—be it Arooj’s knack for crafting idyllic Kashmir honeymoon packages, Seerat’s expertise in adventure tours in Kashmir, or Farah’s patience in planning the perfect family holiday in Kashmir. Together, they possess an encyclopedic knowledge of the valley’s offerings, from the serene Dal Lake to the thrilling slopes of Gulmarg.
They are more than just planners; they are your personal travel partners. They listen intently to your desires, answer every question with patience, and infuse every Kashmir vacation package with thoughtful suggestions you won’t find in any guidebook. Their local expertise and genuine passion for sharing their home ensure that from your very first conversation, your trip to Kashmir is in the most caring and capable hands.
While our team crafts your journey, Azhar is the artist who helps you bring its soul back home. As the visual storyteller of NatureConnect Travels, Azhar does more than take pictures; he captures the very essence of your holiday in Kashmir, transforming fleeting moments into timeless treasures.
With a keen eye for light and landscape, Azhar specializes in finding the perfect frame within the valley’s boundless beauty. Whether it’s the golden glow of a shikara at sunset on Dal Lake, the joyous laughter of a family in the meadows of Pahalgam, or the intimate, stolen glances of a couple on their Kashmir honeymoon package, he has a gift for preserving emotion.
His photography is an integral part of the NatureConnect experience. For those who desire it, he seamlessly joins your Kashmir tour package, not as an intrusive presence, but as a friendly guide to the most picturesque spots. He knows the hidden angles of Gulmarg and the serene, off-the-path locations in Sonamarg that postcards miss.
Azhar understands that you are not just on a trip to Kashmir; you are building a gallery of lifelong memories. Through his lens, he doesn’t just document your adventure—he weaves the light, the landscape, and your joy into a visual love letter to the valley, ensuring you return with more than stories; you return with heirlooms. He is, in every sense, a guardian of your most precious moments.
