Kashmir’s Golden Autumn: Embrace the Colours of Harud with Breakaway (7–12 November, 2025)

Kashmir in autumn feels like a dream. Locals call this season Harud. The valley glows with red and gold chinar leaves, the air feels soft, and the gentle breeze carries the scent of change. Every corner of the valley shines under warm sunlight, creating a calm and soothing atmosphere.

Breakaway invites you to spend six peaceful days in this golden season. Walk along tree-lined paths, watch the reflections on Dal Lake, and sip hot Kahwa while enjoying the quiet beauty around you. This is the perfect time to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.

What to Expect

This journey is made for those who want peace, beauty, and connection. You will experience Kashmir at an unhurried pace. Expect walks among glowing chinar trees, shikara rides on still waters, and evenings filled with warmth, good food, and conversation.

Every day offers new colours and new stories. Watch how the sunlight touches the valley, meet local people who share their traditions, and taste fresh seasonal food. This trip helps you see Kashmir beyond the usual sights and understand the calm rhythm of life here.

What This Experience Includes

1. Autumn Walks: Enjoy gentle walks through Mughal gardens and quiet lanes lined with Chinar trees. The red and golden leaves underfoot create a magical setting perfect for slow exploration and mindful moments.

2. Shikara Ride on Dal Lake: Glide peacefully across the calm waters of Dal Lake in a traditional shikara. Watch the sunlight shimmer on the ripples and see reflections of mountains and trees painted in autumn colours.

3. Kahwa Evenings: Spend relaxed evenings sipping warm Kahwa with locals. Listen to stories about Kashmiri traditions, art, and life in the valley while enjoying the cool evening air.

4. Local Food Trails: Experience the rich flavours of Kashmiri cuisine. Taste dishes like Rogan Josh, Yakhni, Dum Aloo, and Nadru chips made with local spices that reflect the taste of the season.

5. Village Visits: Visit nearby villages to meet families and artisans who preserve traditional crafts. Learn how they weave, cook, and live close to nature while sharing warm hospitality.

6. Photography and Reflection: Capture autumn’s beauty or simply take time to reflect. The valley’s light, colours, and peaceful surroundings make it an ideal setting for creativity and calm.
