there are a lot of things i never thought i would do in india. without a doubt horse back riding up the snowy mountains of kashmir tops that list. though wearing multiple layers of wool and still feeling cold was a new experience in india, winter in kashmir definitely has its charm. especially when you stay in a wooden houseboat on the dal lake and in the maharajas old palace by the lake, explore pahalgam by horse and ride the gondola up the snow filled mountains of gulmarg, and last but not least drink a lot of kashmiri kahwa tea. see for yourselves.
