Pashmina Shawl: Kashmir holiday package always comes with a little bit of shopping. And even if you are not much of a shopper, you will just be mesmerized by the beauty of the Kashmiri shawls. Such shawls can come in different designs and with various fabrics. One highly popular kind is the Pashmina shawl. Its popularity hails from the fact that it is fabricated from the hair of Ibex, a less common and rarely found creature. It is no surprise that a Pashmina shawl can leave you lighter by around Rs 4,000. Some high quality ones can even cost you Rs 10,000. However, it is something you would relish for the rest of your life. It will also increase your social prestige before your peers back home.

Shahtoosh Shawl: Just like Pashmina shawl, a Shahtoosh shawl is another marvelous and pricey thing. Its fabric is made from the hair derived from the belly of antelopes of Ladakh. These shawls are noted for their softness and elegance. Flaunting them during the winter, you will really derive a lot of warmth and joy from them.
