A Message from Our Director
S.M. Hussain
Founder & Director, Solace Holidays
Kashmir is not just where we work — it is where we were born, where we grew up, and where our hearts have always belonged. Every trail we recommend, every houseboat we book, every sunrise we promise — we have lived them ourselves.
When I founded Solace Holidays, my vision was simple: to share the real Kashmir with the world. Not a postcard version, but the Kashmir of warm chai on a cold morning in Gulmarg, of shikaras gliding silently across Dal Lake at dusk, of meadows in Pahalgam that make you forget the world exists.
Our team is made up of local guides, travel planners, and hospitality professionals who carry this same love for the valley. We do not just plan trips — we craft memories that our guests carry home for a lifetime. Every itinerary is personal, every detail is deliberate, and every traveller is family.
Thank you for trusting Solace Holidays with your Kashmir dream. We will make sure it exceeds every expectation.
