I booked “Heritage Walk” & “Craft... read more Tour” with Kashmir Walks and I absolutely love them!
Usman is my guide for the day. He's a bright and kind man with knowledge, degree, licenses and good connections with local craftsmen. He will guide you through houses of masters: tell the history, explain the process and enjoy the work
Some of them are celebrated or awarded artists. Supporting and purchasing is totally your choice. For example, you might want to purchase the costly pashmina with them instead of trying your luck bargaining for falsely acclaimed on the road.

They also offer more specialized tour like pashmina trail, food tour, bird watching
We wouldn't have been able to explore Srinagar's... read more hidden gems and stories so well otherwise.

Perfect!

Looking forward to do the cullinary walk and craft walk with him.
Usman is very prompt to respond on WhatsApp... read more and was flexible with our timings.
Our Heritage Tour on a rainy day was enjoyable with a number of food stops en route. Usman is very knowledgeable with his facts and history, and tailer made our itinerary.
The highlight was the 4 hour Craft Tour with a visit to artisnal shops and homes, which enabled us to make several purchases at very attractive prices.
We highly recommend Usmanbhai for first time and repeat tourists to Kashmir as he is the Best....
We also did the heritage walk as well the craft tour with him and both were an eye opener. If you are looking to buy local art and craft products, the crafts tour is an absolute must do.
We are already thinking of another trip to Kashmir and will definitely reach out to him for planning the same.
Usman is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and took us to places, which were absolutely stunning! We visited:
- Jama Masjid
- Khanquah e Maula
- Badshah tomb
- The spice market, Gada kocha, Zaina Kadal
- Had a vegetarian Wazwan lunch at Eidgah (at an artisan’s home). The artisan also took us through the process of how pashmina shawls are made - visited a loom
- Walked through the alleys where chefs cook the Wazwan
- Visited an artisan family - they’ve received 4 national awards for their craft!
- Visited a paper mache artisan’s workshop
- And to top it all, Usman took us to Moon Light, the walnut fudge shop - delicious, and very moreish!
The pace was perfect, even though it was a full day tour. Usman is very affable, and we had a wonderful time, learning, exploring, and joking! Truly memorable!
Kashmir is breathtakingly beautiful and Kashmir walks made it all worth it for us.
Usmaan being a Kashmiri for many generations and his love for travel and tourism knows Kashmir in and out. The hidden gems, the history, the people, the culture.
We had a bit of a medical emergency and Usmaan and Gauhar were there and helped us throughout the whole thing like family. Grateful and thankful to them.
Good luck Kashmir Walks! Keep it up️
