Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!

Best Time to Visit Kashmir: When to Experience Magic

Setting the dates, itinerary planning: crafting your kashmir experience, must-visit places in kashmir: unveil the wonders, navigating mobile networks in kashmir: what you need to know, culinary delights: savoring kashmiri cuisine, navigating kashmir’s roads: understanding taxi rates, finding the perfect accommodation in kashmir: a guide to resting comfortably, budgeting for your kashmir trip: planning your finances, packing for kashmir: what to wear.

Choosing the right time to visit Kashmir is vital for a remarkable adventure. The region showcases its beauty in different seasons:

• Spring (March to May): During this period, you’ll witness blooming gardens, pleasant weather, and the famous Tulip Festival in Srinagar.
• Autumn (September to November): Enjoy the vibrant landscapes as the leaves change color, making this season perfect for photography and trekking.
• Winter (December to February): Snow lovers rejoice! Kashmir transforms into a winter wonderland, ideal for skiing and snowboarding.
• Monsoon (June to August): While the region remains lush during these months, it’s best to avoid this season due to heavy rainfall and potential travel disruptions.

Tip: Avoid planning your trip during the Amarnath Yatra season. During this period, millions of pilgrims flock to the Amarnath Cave, causing increased congestion and potential accommodation shortages in the region. Planning your visit outside of this time ensures a more tranquil and hassle-free experience in Kashmir.

The first step in planning your Kashmir trip is setting the dates. Consider the best time to visit based on your preferences. Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are ideal for pleasant weather and blooming gardens, while Winter (December to February) offers a snowy wonderland. Avoid the monsoon season (June to August) to ensure clear skies.

Crafting a well-rounded itinerary is pivotal to making the most of your Kashmir trip. Consider the following aspects, keeping in mind that the ideal itinerary can vary for different types of travelers, whether you’re traveling with kids, as a couple, or with a family:

Destination Prioritization:

Begin by listing your must-visit places, taking into account your interests and the time available. Prioritizing your destinations helps you allocate sufficient time for each one and ensures you don’t miss out on any highlights. If you’re traveling with kids, consider including child-friendly attractions and activities.

Travel Duration:

Calculate the number of days you’ll be spending in Kashmir. This will determine the pace of your trip and how much time you can allocate to each destination. Keep in mind that traveling with kids or as a family may require a slower pace to accommodate their needs and interests.

Local Events and Festivals:

Check for local events, festivals, and celebrations that might coincide with your visit. Participating in or witnessing these cultural events can add a unique dimension to your trip. Conversely, it’s essential to be aware of any festivals that could lead to increased crowds and accommodation challenges, especially when traveling with a family.

Seasonal Activities:

Consider the time of year you’re visiting and plan activities accordingly. For example, if you’re traveling with kids, you might want to incorporate visits to parks, nature reserves, and attractions suitable for children. If you’re a couple seeking adventure, plan activities like trekking or skiing.

Weather Conditions:

Kashmir’s weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for fluctuations. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and pack accordingly. If you’re traveling with kids, ensure you have appropriate clothing and gear to keep them comfortable and safe.

Local Cuisine Exploration:

Factor in time for culinary experiences. Don’t rush through meals; savor the local Kashmiri cuisine at various restaurants and cafes. Try traditional dishes and savor the flavors that make Kashmiri food renowned. Consider the dietary preferences and needs of your fellow travelers, especially if you have kids.

Relaxation and Leisure:

Allocate moments for relaxation and leisure. Kashmir’s serene landscapes invite you to unwind, soak in the tranquility, and reflect on your experiences. Customize your leisure activities based on the preferences and energy levels of your travel companions, whether they are family members or your significant other.

Local Culture and Interaction:

Engage with the local culture by attending cultural events, interacting with the friendly Kashmiri people, and exploring local markets. These interactions can provide deep insights into the region’s heritage and traditions, and they can be both educational and enjoyable for children.

Flexibility:

Lastly, maintain flexibility in your itinerary. Different types of travelers have unique needs and interests, so be open to adjustments based on their feedback and preferences. Being adaptable will allow you to cater to the diverse experiences and expectations of your travel companions.

By considering these aspects and tailoring your itinerary to the specific needs and preferences of your travel group, whether it’s a family with kids or a couple seeking a romantic getaway, you’ll be well-prepared to create a balanced and fulfilling Kashmir experience that caters to everyone’s interests and ensures you make the most of your time in this mesmerizing destination.

Tips for Exploring Offbeat Places in Kashmir:

• Weather Preparedness: Offbeat places may have limited infrastructure, so be prepared for changing weather conditions. Pack accordingly, and check the local weather forecast before heading out.
• Permits and Permissions: Some offbeat areas may require special permits. Research the entry requirements and obtain the necessary permissions in advance.
• Respect Nature and Culture: Be respectful of the environment and local customs. Leave no trace and engage with the local culture in a respectful manner.
• Safety First: Safety should always be a priority. Inform someone about your itinerary, carry essential safety gear, and be cautious when venturing into remote areas.

Exploring the offbeat treasures of Kashmir offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience the region’s authenticity. While famous destinations are undoubtedly stunning, don’t miss the chance to uncover the hidden wonders, such as Doodhpathri, that make Kashmir a truly enchanting destination.

When it comes to mobile network connectivity in Kashmir, understanding the landscape of service providers is essential for a seamless communication experience. Here’s a breakdown of the network options, along with some important insights:

1. BSNL: The Widest Network in Kashmir

• BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) offers the broadest coverage in Kashmir, making it a reliable choice for staying connected, especially in urban areas.

2. Airtel: Quality Network for Better Connectivity

4. Vodafone and Idea: A Mixed Bag

• Vodafone and Idea, while present, may not offer the same level of service quality as BSNL, Airtel, or Jio. Travelers might experience variable connectivity with these providers.

Postpaid vs. Prepaid: A Crucial Distinction

• The most critical piece of information for travelers to Kashmir is that only postpaid connections work in the valley. If your phone had a prepaid connection, it will be rendered unusable as soon as you enter Kashmir.

Where to Expect Connectivity:

• In popular tourist destinations like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Pahalgam, postpaid connections from any major service provider should provide you with good reception and data connectivity.
• When venturing into offbeat areas, the availability of network coverage can vary significantly based on the service provider. It’s advisable to check with the local population or consult your service provider for information on connectivity in specific offbeat locations.

By understanding these nuances of mobile network connectivity in Kashmir, you can make informed choices about your communication needs during your visit. Whether you’re exploring renowned tourist spots or embarking on offbeat adventures, staying connected will enhance your overall experience in this mesmerizing region.

4. Saffron Souvenirs: Consider buying saffron, one of Kashmir’s prized exports, as a culinary souvenir. It’s known for its exceptional quality.

5. Dietary Preferences: Inform the restaurant staff if you have dietary restrictions or preferences. They are usually accommodating and can suggest suitable options.

Exploring Kashmiri cuisine is an integral part of your journey through this paradise. By sampling these exquisite dishes at recommended eateries and embracing the culinary culture, you’ll add a flavorful dimension to your Kashmir adventure, leaving your taste buds yearning for more.

When you explore the picturesque landscapes of Kashmir, having a reliable mode of transportation is crucial. Taxis are a popular choice for getting around, but it’s important to understand how taxi rates work in this region.

Standard Taxi Rates

In Kashmir, taxi rates can vary depending on factors such as the season and distance. When you rent a taxi in Srinagar, for instance, it will typically cover your journey to your chosen destination, be it Pahalgam, Gulmarg, or other nearby locations.

Important Note: Places like Pahalgam and Gulmarg have their own taxi rates, which is an important aspect to remember. This means that if you hire a taxi in Srinagar to reach Pahalgam or Gulmarg, it will drop you off at your destination within these towns. However, to explore local attractions like Betaab Valley, Chandanwari, Aru Valley in Pahalgam, or Bota Pathri in Gulmarg, you will need to rent a local cab within these respective areas.

Inter-Region Travel

If you plan to venture beyond Kashmir and explore regions like Kargil, Zanskar Valley, or Ladakh after your Kashmir exploration, keep in mind that the same rule applies. You’ll need to rent another taxi or vehicle in your new destination to continue your journey.

Understanding these taxi rate variations ensures a smoother and more cost-effective travel experience in Kashmir. By being aware of the local taxi norms and planning your transportation accordingly, you can seamlessly navigate the region’s stunning landscapes and explore its diverse attractions.

Our 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with family

“Kashmir is not just a place, It is an emotion that everyone wants to experience!!!!”

“You have got Kashmir and Himalayas. You are the richest when it comes to natural beauty!” – While we were playing in the snow at Mount Titlis on our trip to Switzerland, our guide remarked vividly. Years later, I can now comprehend the statement completely. As I relive every moment of our 9 days trip to Kashmir . After hearing, reading and witnessing the beauty of Kashmir through books, media and our own parents, we waited for years to finally be able to experience this “heaven on earth”. There is for sure, that every Indian wants to visit this paradise at least once in his lifetime. We have compiled this complete guide for a trip to Kashmir that will help you plan your trip to Kashmir in a smooth, hassle free manner. And here we bring to you our 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with family.

This Kashmir trip itinerary for family is based on the trip to Kashmir that we took with our family in April, 2022. It can vary for others based on their requirement. So, we will provide some alternate itineraries towards the end of the post. To get the details of how to make the hotel bookings in Kashmir, how to book a cab in Kashmir, where to stay in Kashmir, what to eat in Kashmir, how to go shopping in Kashmir and even general tourist scams in Kashmir, read our upcoming comprehensive Kashmir travel guide. Either you can follow this same itinerary on your own. Or, you can book your Kashmir trip via ekashmirtourism.com

Day 1 : Arrival in Srinagar

We took a flight to Srinagar from Bangalore. It was a connecting flight. As there was no suitable budget direct flights from Bangalore to Srinagar operating at this point. We had a flight from Bangalore to Delhi and then another flight from Delhi to Srinagar. We reached Srinagar early in the morning, around 8:00am. The April-June time frame is peak tourist season in Kashmir. So, the influx of tourist is high. There was a huge queue at the airport exit, after navigating it we took a cab to our hotel, Walisons Hotel, Srinagar .

Since we had a night flight, and we arrived early at our hotel, our rooms were not ready. So, we headed straight to the Tulip Gardens near Dal Lake . Since, the Tulips were in full bloom at this point, we didn’t want the chance to miss witnessing them in full bloom. We dropped our luggage at the hotel. And then requested the driver who dropped us from airport to hotel to take us to the Tulip Gardens. By 8:30am, we reached the gardens. There was no queue at the ticket counter and no rush inside.

We thoroughly enjoyed the gardens. And then by 10:00am, we headed back to the Tulip Garden parking lot. Where we had our late breakfast.

While visiting the Tulip Gardens of Kashmir, I couldn’t help but draw a comparison in my mind with the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens of Netherlands which I had visited on my trip to Europe, from Amsterdam. Each one has it’s own surreal beauty. And I couldn’t really tell which one is better than the other. So, I will say, visit both ! (I am always greedy when it comes to travel :D)

After spending considerable time witnessing the tulips and having some picture perfect instagram moments with them, we returned back to our hotel. This time, our rooms were ready. We shifted to the rooms to catch up on some much needed sleep. And retired to bed after an early dinner later.

Note: You can also arrive in Srinagar by road from Jammu. Jammu is well connected with rest of India through road and rail network.

Day 2 : Places to visit in Srinagar

Today, post breakfast, we started our exploration of Srinagar – our one day of sightseeing in Srinagar . From this day onwards we had booked a dedicated cab till the end of our journey.

The first site we visited was Pari Mahal. It is a beautiful garden around a 7 storied building. But the best part is the views of Srinagar, Dal Lake and the surrounding mountains that you get from the garden. Take a virtual tour of Pari Mahal with us in this vlog :

Next we headed to the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar. We visited Chash-me-Shahi Garden and Nishat Bagh. Although there are other gardens also in Srinagar including Shalimar Garden, after visiting 2 mughal gardens of Srinagar, we felt we had enough 🙂 . Since, all these gardens look alike beyond a point.

So, next around 4:00pm, we headed for Shikara ride. After much hassle and bargaining, we and the shikara owners came to an agreement. And finally we had a 2.5 hrs Shikara ride on the Dal Lake . Which included visiting all the famous spots around the lake, stopping for tea and snacks and finally visiting the shops on the bank of the Dal Lake.

Watch our vlog on our Dal Lake Shikara ride here .

Day 3 : Srinagar to Pahalgam Transfer

Today, post breakfast, we traveled from Srinagar to Pahalgam . We reached our hotel in Pahalgam, the Oswal Cottage , by afternoon. And had lunch. Post this, we enjoyed the beautiful sceneries around. And just relaxed. However, some of our friends headed to explore Bisaran Valley. It takes around 3 hours for the complete round trip. Although Bisaran Valley is only 6km from where we stayed. But the terrain is rough. And only accessible through a horse ride. Since we were with kids and moreover our younger one hates any animal interactions, so, we didn’t go. Although if you are not constrained like us, I will highly recommend visiting the Bisaran Valley. Because it is very beautiful.

Day 4: Pahalgam to Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandwari

Today we has another action packed day in our Kashmir trip itinerary with kids. As, we spent the day visiting Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandwari from Pahalgam . These are the most famous and beautiful valleys around Pahalgam. Which have completely different charms in different seasons.

When we arrived here in April, the spring was in full bloom and the valley was on the verse of welcoming summer. Green meadows spread in front of the snow clapped mountain peaks reminded me of some of the beautiful scenes we had encountered in Tuscany while doing day trips from Florence when we spent almost a week in Italy.

Day 5: Pahalgam to Gulmarg Transfer

Today, post breakfast, we started for Gulmarg from Pahalgam. Watch our road trip experience from Pahalgam to Gulmarg on this vlog . Actually, Gulmarg is the most famous ski resort destination in Asia and India. By the time we booked our accommodation, almost everything in Gulmarg was either full or exorbitantly charged. So, we booked our stay at Hotel Pineview in Tangmarg which is almost 10km before Gulmarg. Nevertheless, we reached here by noon.We had our lunch on the way. After reaching Tangmarg, our driver connected us with a guide who was going to accompany us to the Gondola ride.

The guide further took us to a shop where we hired shoes, jackets and bought gloves and caps for all of us to be used the next day. Also, we rented a vehicle to take us till the Gondola. Since our regular cab drivers prefered to return back to Srinagar. The shoes were to be packed and placed in the car the next morning. So, booking them in advance really saved our time.

Day 6: Gulmarg Gondola Ride

Finally arrived that day of our Kashmir Trip itinerary with family which the kids were waiting for since day 1 – the day of Gondola Ride in Gulmarg . Today, we woke up really early in the morning. And started around 8:00am from our hotel in Tangmarg for the Gulmarg Gondola point. We had pre-booked our Gondola ride online through this government site. Also, we had booked for both phase 1  and phase 2  . Since when we reached here, the snow in phase 1 had reduced a lot. After arriving at the parking for Gulmarg Gondola, we walked to the Gondola and reached there just in time, around 8:30am. Still there was already a huge winding queue. And it was only at 10:30 that we reached the Gondola cable car.

As we sat into the Gondola and started our journey up the mountains, I couldn’t help recall the same experience scaling the heights of Mount Titlis on a day trip from Lucerne with Aashi. Who was precisely the same age at that time as Ishi is now. And once we reached the top, we had a gala time playing in the snow. The memories are as fresh as if it happened yesterday. I guess that’s why we need to spend more on experiences and less on material things.

We reached phase 1 in around 10 mins. But we decided to go to Phase 2 first. Because this year, the summer started early and there was not much snow in phase 1 left. So we went to Phase 2. However, the weather soon turned our plans upside down. It started with a snowfall and then turned into a snow storm. I and my friend decided to return back to the Gondola station with the kids. As the temperature dropped to -5 degrees and the kids started to feel cold. However Abhishek and 2 other friends decided to take the plunge and enjoy snow activities.

Day 7: Gulmarg to Srinagar Transfer

After having a gala day at the Gulmarg Gondola, we started back for Srinagar from Gulmarg on the 7th day of our 9 days Kashmir Trip Itinerary with kids. We started post breakfast from our hotel in Tangmarg, Hotel Pineview . And reached our houseboat, Chicago Group of Houseboats in Srinagar by lunch time. Yes, today we were going to experience staying on a houseboat in Srinagar . The access to the houseboat was through a short Shikara ride from ghat no 9 on Dal Lake. After reaching the houseboat and dumping our luggage, we again took another shikara to return back to the main road for lunch. Since lunch was not provided on the Shikara. After having lunch, we just relaxed in our houseboat in Srinagar. And prepared for the next day when we planned to have a day trip .

Day 8: Srinagar to Doodhpathri day trip

On the second last day of our 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with family, we embarked on a day trip to Doodhpathri from Srinagar. Although for the past 2-3 days we were having a tussle to select between Sonmarg and Doodhpathri.

Sonmarg is yet another winter destinations in Srinagar. It witnesses a lot of snowfall in the winters. So much so that you can only travel here with special chained vehicles that can navigate snow. However, the snow cover had reduced when we visited here in mid-April. But the temperature was still very low here.

Doodhpathri on the other hand is a lush green meadow. It was not that chilling cold, not that crowded and touristy also. So, finally we picked Doodhpathri over Sonmarg. And then had a wonderful day basking in the sun in one of the most beautiful valleys of Kashmir.

Day 9: Flight back from Srinagar

Finally came the day to say goodbye to Kashmir. We boarded our morning flight from Srinagar and embarked on our way back home. With memories of a lifetime. However, we want to come back to Kashmir. This time in the winter season. To witness the completely transformed landscape of Kashmir. And the winter wonderland that it is called. Hope that materialises soon.

Alternate Kashmir trip itinerary with family

The 9 days Kashmir trip itinerary with kids that we did was a really relaxed one. Since we were traveling with little kids, we didn’t want to overexert ourselves. But, if you are pressed by time on your Kashmir trip itinerary with family, or want to cover alternate things, here are some alternate Kashmir trip itinerary with family options for you. Some of these are aggressive on timelines, you can opt them when traveling solo, with friends or backpacking.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 1 : 5 days trip to Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg

• Arrive in Srinagar in the morning. Get an early checkin at your hotel if possible. If not, at least dump your luggage. And head to the Tulip Gardens. Spend couple of hours here. Have lunch. And post lunch take a Sikara ride on the Dal Lake. Stay near Dal Lake if possible.
• Srinagar to Pahalgam day trip. Start early in the morning by 7:00am, reach Pahalgam by 9:30am. From here, take a day trip to explore Aru Valley, Betab Valley and Chandanwari. Return to Srinagar by 6:30 or 7:00pm in the evening
• Srinagar to Gulmarg day trip. Today, go straight to the Gulmarg Gondola from Srinagar. Pre book the gondola ride tickets. Reach here by 10:00am. And then enjoy the snow activities in Gulmarg. For a complete detail of how to book the Gondola and how to enjoy your day in Gulmarg, read this post.
• Do a day trip from Srinagar to Sonmarg today.
• Spend half the day sightseeing in Srinagar. Visit some of the famous gardens, Pari Mahal and some other attractions. Post noon, checkout from your hotel and start back home.

While staying all 5 nights in Srinagar, you can spend a couple on a houseboat – a different kind of experience.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 2 : 3 days visiting Pahalgam and Gulmarg

If you are really pressed by time, I will suggest, skip Srinagar. And head straight to Pahalgam and Gulmarg. Do a day trip to each of these from Srinagar. And then head back to your home on the third day. Of course, you will miss the Sikara ride on the Dal lake and the other attractions that Srinagar has got to offer. But then you have to make a choice when you are that limited by time.

Kashmir Trip Itinerary Option 3 : Srinagar, Pahalgam, Kargil and Ladakh

This is a very different itinerary than the rest two I proposed above. If you are visiting Kashmir in summer months, like June, there is not much of snow to enjoy. So, you can altogether avoid the snow destinations like Sonmarg or Gulmarg. Spend the first couple of days in Srinagar enjoying the local sites. And then do a day trip to Pahalgam from Srinagar on the third day. On the fourth day head to Kargil. And from there, embark on a trip to Ladakh for the next 5 days!! Making the most of your time in Kashmir. And combining two most exotic destinations of India into one single trip!!

Best Itinerary for Kashmir Trip – How to Plan your Itinerary

In this post, I will share a few examples of an itinerary for Kashmir trip. It is one of the most common questions I get asked by people wanted to visit Kashmir. So hopefully, the information below can be of some help.

Your final itinerary will depend on the time you have in hand and the places that you want to visit. Keeping that in mind, I will break down the travel plans based on the number of days. For each segment, I will provide a few different examples and you can pick the one that you like.

If none of these itineraries suit your plan, or if you already had one in mind and had a few questions, you can contact me on Instagram  and I will be happy to answer. You can also consider  subscribing to my YouTube channel  and asking a question there.

For other details on visiting Kashmir like places to visit, things to do, public transport, where to stay, etc, you can also take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir – A Complete Travel Guide .

Quick Navigation

Minimum Time Needed for Kashmir Trip

So how long do you need to visit Kashmir? This really depends on your mode of travel but a minimum of 4 days in Kashmir is what I will recommend.

If you have more time then you will be able to explore better but you should at least have 4 days in hand between your arrival and departure from Srinagar.

The itineraries I am suggesting below assume that you have arrived in Srinagar, either by road or by flight. Day 1 hence will be Srinagar.

If you were traveling by road, the time you spend traveling to Kashmir and then the journey back home will need to be added to the travel plan.

2 Days Trip to Kashmir

Can you plan a 2 days trip to Kashmir? Is it possible to visit Kashmir over the weekend? The answer to this question is a yes but I will not recommend it at all. A 2 days trip means that you just touched Kashmir and returned home.

But if you still want to do it, below is how the journey can be planned.

• Day 1: Arrival in Srinagar. See the Mughal Gardens, go for a Shikara ride, see the sunset from Pari Mahal , and stay for the night in Srinagar.
• Day 2: On this day, depending on your preference, you can go for a day trip to either Gulmarg, Sonamarg, or Pahalgam. You will return to Srinagar by the evening.
• Day 3: Catch an early morning flight home

This is the best way that this trip can be planned. If you were thinking that you will return home on Day 2 itself, then you must give up the idea of visiting Kashmir. Plan another time when you can add more days to the trip.

3 Days Itinerary for Kashmir

Now let us take a look at the itinerary if you are able to throw in one more day. It will give you a little more time and you will be able to add a couple of other places to your travel plan.

• Day 1: Arrival in Srinagar
• Day 2: On this day, you can go for a day-long drive to Gulmarg. Enjoy the Gondola ride, spend some time visiting the local attractions, and return to Srinagar by evening.
• Day 3: In a similar manner, go for a day trip to Sonamarg. See the Thajiwas Glacier , Zojila Pass, and Zero Point, and return to Srinagar by the evening.
• Alternatively, you can also go for a day trip to Pahalgam. See Betaab Valley, Chandanwari, and Aru Valley, and return to Srinagar by the evening.
• Day 4: Fly Out

An important thing to remember is that a trip for 2 or 3 days by public transport will be extremely difficult. The best option is to travel by your self-owned vehicle. If not, then you should either hire a taxi or rent a bike in Srinagar .

Itinerary for Kashmir Trip in Winter

Now let us briefly take a look at how the journey can be planned if wanted to visit Kashmir in the winter season. Places like Sonamarg, Gurez, Doodhpathri, and Yusmarg remain accessible at this time.

Also, if you are visiting Kashmir in the winter season, I am assuming that you want to see snow and hopefully catch snowfall as well. For that, Gulmarg and Pahalgam are the best places.

The itinerary can be planned like this.

• Day 2: Srinagar to Gulmarg. Spend the day walking around and enjoying the views and the snow.
• Day 3: Early morning Gondola ride. Return to Srinagar by the evening.
• Day 4: Srinagar to Pahalgam
• Day 5: Spend the day in Pahalgam. Betaab Valley will remain accessible but you may not be able to go to Chandanwari and Aru Valley, depending on the snow on the road.
• Day 6: Return to Srinagar. If you were short on time, you can return on Day 5 itself, in the evening.

I am not saying that these itineraries are the best ones or perfect. But the information below should be able to give you an idea of how the journey can be planned.

You can pick either of these travel plans and modify it in any way that you like. If you need my input, I will be happy to suggest changes.

Bangus Valley / Lolab Valley / Tangdhar / Teetwal / Keran

Let us also take a look at some offbeat destinations in the Kupwara District. These are the names that I mentioned in the header. Tourism in this area has just started and not a lot of people come in this direction. This is what you can truly call offbeat Kashmir.

To explore this region, you will need at least 4 to 5 days. This will be in addition to the days you spend exploring the popular destinations listed above. The itinerary can be planned in the following manner.

• Srinagar to Lolab Valley – Day 1
• Explore Lolab Valley and reach Chowkibal Rest House – Day 2
• Chowkibal to Bangus Valley to Chowkibal – Day 3
• Day trip to Keran Village. Return to Chowkibal – Day 4
• Chowkibal to Srinagar – Day 5

Another way to plan this journey can be as mentioned below.

• Lolab Valley to Sadhna Pass to Tangdhar – Day 2
• Day Trip to Teetwal and return to Tangdhar – Day 3
• Tangdhar to Bangus Valley to Chowkibal – Day 4
• Day trip to Keran Village. Return to Chowkibal – Day 5
• Chowkibal to Srinagar – Day 6

Gulmarg, Kashmir: The Winter Wonderland

For those with a penchant for winter enchantment, Gulmarg emerges as a utopia. Translated as the “Meadow of Flowers,” Gulmarg transforms into a winter wonderland when snow blankets the landscape.

The Gulmarg Gondola ascends to Apharwat Peak, offering panoramic views of the snow-covered slopes and dense pine forests. Adventure enthusiasts find solace in skiing down powdery slopes.

At the same time, the less adventurous can revel in the charm of a winter landscape that seems to be plucked from a storybook.

Plan Your Trip to Srinagar in Kashmir with this Travel Guide

Land of Lakes and Gardens

Ng Hock How/Getty Images

Srinagar, in the Kashmir Valley in far northern India, is one of the top 10 hill station in India. A place of splendid natural beauty, it's often referred to as the "Land of Lakes and Gardens" or the "Switzerland of India". The gardens have a distinctly Mughal influence, as many of them were cultivated by Mughal emperors. Although civil unrest is an ongoing concern in the area due to conflict with nearby Pakistan, calm has been restored and visitors are returning to the area. (Read more about how safe is Kashmir now for tourists? ). Nevertheless, be prepared to see army personnel and police everywhere. Find out important information and travel tips in this Srinagar travel guide.

Getting There

Srinagar's Sheikh ul-Alam airport was completed in 2009 and is owned by the Indian Air Force. It can be reached most easily by flight from Delhi . There are also flights from Jammu, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Lucknow.

The Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation operates an inexpensive bus service from the airport to the Tourist Reception Center in Srinagar. Otherwise, expect to pay about 1,000 rupees for a prepaid taxi (2018 prices). App-based taxi services such as Uber and Ola don't operate in Kashmir.

If you're traveling on a budget and are feeling adventurous, you may try taking an Indian Railways train to Jammu (these trains start from Delhi or pass through Delhi from other cities in India), and then go by shared jeep/taxi to Srinagar (traveling time around eight hours). Buses also run but they are much slower, taking around 11-12 hours for the journey.

A rail project is currently underway to link the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India, but it's well behind schedule and isn't expected to be completed until after 2020. Tunnels are also being built to cut the travel time from Jammu to Srinagar by around five hours.

Visas and Security

Foreigners (including OCI cardholders) are required to register upon arriving and departing from the airport. It's a straightforward process that requires the completion of one form and only takes about five minutes. Do note that US government employees and government contractors who have security clearance are not permitted to visit Srinagar, as Kashmir is off-limits. Traveling to Kashmir could result in loss of security clearance.

The kind of experience you want to have in Srinagar will determine the best time of year to visit. It gets very cold and snows from December to February, and it's possible to go snow skiing in surrounding areas. If you want to enjoy the lakes and gardens, visiting between April to October is recommended. April to June is the high season. The monsoon usually arrives by mid July. September to October is also a good time to visit, and is not so busy. Foliage turns lovely deep, warm colors in late October, as the weather becomes colder. Temperatures get quite hot during the day in summer, but are chilly at night. Make sure you bring a jacket!

What to See and Do

Check out these top Srinagar attractions and places to visit. Srinagar is most well known for its houseboats, a legacy of the British that has rapidly multiplied. Don't miss staying on one!

Tips for Staying on a Houseboat

Avoid booking houseboats from tour operators in Delhi. There are plenty of scams and you never know what kind of boat you'll end up with! Reputable houseboats can be booked at Srinagar airport, and many have websites as well. Have a read of these tips for choosing the best Srinagar houseboat to find out what you should consider.

Where Else to Stay

The main commercial and tourist district, where most of the accommodations are situated, is Lal Chowk in the heart of Srinagar. It's located within close walking distance of local markets and the Jhelum River. Walking time to Dal Lake from Lal Chowk is about 30 minutes.

If you prefer to stay closer to Dal Lake, you'll find plenty of budget hotels to choose from along Boulevard Road, which runs along beside the lake. Hotel JH Bazaz and Blooming Dale Hotel Cottages offer good value for money in the Dal Gate area next to Dal Lake. Swiss Hotel Kashmir , located just off the Boulevard, is a popular budget choice -- and here's a pleasant surprise, foreigners pay reduced rates (usually, foreigners are charged more in India)! Hotel Dar-Es-Salam is a popular boutique hotel that overlooks the lake

Otherwise, if money is no object, the best luxury hotels are the Lalit Grand Palace and the Vivanta Dal View .

Hospitality Home is the most popular homestay in Srinagar and it's also inexpensive.

The annual Tulip Festival takes place during the first couple of weeks of April. It's the highlight of the year in Srinagar. In addition to being able to see millions of blooming tulips in the biggest tulip garden in Asia, cultural events are held.

Indian tourists often prefer to conduct their trip on an auspicious note, with a visit to Vaishno Devi shrine. It's best reached by helicopter from Katra, about an hour and a half from Jammu. Otherwise, these  popular tourist places in Kashmir can be visited on day trips (or longer side trips) from Srinagar.

Travel Tips

If you have a cell phone with a prepaid connection, your SIM card will not work as roaming has been blocked in Kashmir due to security reasons (postpaid connections are fine). Your hotel or houseboat may provide you with a local SIM card to use.

Note that being a predominantly Muslim area, alcohol isn't served in restaurants and most businesses shut for prayer at lunchtime on Friday in Srinagar. Bars can be found in select upmarket hotels though.

If you're flying out of Srinagar airport, do get there with plenty of time to spare (at least three hours before departure), as there are lengthy and multiple security checks. There aren't any restrictions on cabin luggage when flying into the airport. However, when departing, airlines often won't allow cabin luggage except for laptops, cameras and ladies handbags.

If you go to Gulmarg, you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle by booking gondola tickets online or in advance at the Tourist Reception Center in Srinagar. You'll face huge lines at the gondola otherwise. In addition, avoid visiting Pahalgam during July as it will be extremely busy with pilgrims going on the Amarnath Yatra .

Do be aware that you should dress conservatively to respect the local Muslim culture.

Kashmir Travel Itinerary 7 to 9 Days

18 oct kashmir travel itinerary 7 to 9 days.

This is my Kashmir travel itinerary for a long-awaited journey and a lifelong dream for my dad. Like most Indians, I have had my presumptions and imagination about Kashmir. After all, it is one of the most talked-about subjects in Indian politics, a subject that we love as much as we love tea.

I had tried visiting Kashmir 2 years ago. But with a sudden twist of the historic event of the removal of article 370 followed by the coronavirus pandemic had led me to cancel my plans.

After 2 years of yearning and pent up energy for ‘revenge travel’ after being locked indoors for months, I was determined to make this trip. However, like always, I find it hard to get information online, even with thousands of Indians with cheap Jio networks flocking to these destinations.

Kashmir is often called ‘paradise on earth’ and so much of it is true. You could easily barter your Switzerland trip for this place and won’t miss a thing. But you need to know quite a few things to make your way around. Here is my itinerary and more that you may find useful.

Itinerary to Kashmir

Srinagar -> Gulmarg -> Pahalgam -> Wular Lake -> Sonmarg -> Srinagar

Day 1 – Arrive in Srinagar

Day 2,3 – Leave for Gulmarg. Spend 1 or 2 days/nights in Gulmarg.

Day 4 – Travel from Gulmarg to Pahalgam. Takes about 4 hours. Stop at Pampore.

Day 5 – Spend the day in Pahalgam.

Day 6 – Travel from Pahalgam to Sonmarg. Takes about 6 hours. Stop at Wular Lake.

Day 7 – Spend the day in Sonmarg

Day 8,9 – Travel to Srinagar. Sightseeing in Srinagar. Return home.

Another alternative is to travel to Srinagar from Pahalgam and stay there for the rest of your trip. You can instead visit Sonmarg on a day trip from Srinagar and return the same day.

How to travel around in Kashmir

The answer largely depends upon how many people you are travelling with. If you are travelling solo, you can find shared cabs (sumo), small buses and even hitchhike between cities in Kashmir. However, you will need to find out with the locals about the schedules. No trains are available inside Kashmir.

However, there is very limited public transport inside the cities/towns. So in most cases, you will have to hire a local cab for the day to take you around the tourist destinations. These cabs can cost around INR 3000-4500 per day depending upon the distance and the destination you are covering. 

In case you are travelling in groups, try and go for day cabs and split the rent. Large groups can also opt for taking a full-time cab with them. Take note that cabs/cars from a different state number plate are often unwelcome and banned from entering some locations. So it would be better and cheaper to get a local cab in most cases.

Horses and ponies are also another very common way to travel short distances. Several locals in the countryside breed and keep them to offer rides to tourists. And personally, I think that most people treat their animals well.

So you will often find yourself looking for a pony ride at places that are not easily accessible on foot. A pony ride usually starts at INR 800 for 2 hours and added INR 200 per additional hour from there.

Srinagar is the gateway to Kashmir and it should be the first stop to move ahead anywhere, even if you don’t spend much time in the city. Srinagar is accessible by road and flight that operates frequently from Delhi and even a few other major cities.

To me, Srinagar had this dreamy feeling of a mesmerizing shikara ride on the dal lake with snow-capped mountains in the background. On top of that, the ‘Shalimar gardens’ and other historical buildings built by Mughal emperors have only been the tales from our textbooks. 

To be honest, I was fairly disappointed. It’s not that this is not true. But for the most part, Srinagar looks like any other city in India and parts of it resembles old Delhi city and even Lucknow with crowded streets, traffic jams, loud and boisterous people and the wafting smell of delicious food.

If you have come in search of the real Kashmir, I would suggest finishing up your sightseeing in Srinagar quickly and head ahead as soon as you can. Here are some of the places that you must visit in Srinagar:

1. Dal Lake

2. Shalimar Bagh Mughal Garden

3. Nigeen Lake

4. Hari Parbat

5. Jamia Masjid

6. Lal Chowk

7. Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden

8. Nishat Garden

9. Shankaracharya Temple

10. Dachigam National Park

Srinagar is the centre point for almost all major tourist destinations and you may have to pass the city repeatedly to move to another location.

Check out our blog on the best places to visit in Srinagar for more details

Gulmarg is a must-visit place when in Kashmir. At least for first-time travellers. I haven’t been to Switzerland (yet) but I think that you can see an insane similarity between the topography of the two, both during the summers and the winters.

Gulmarg is just 2 hours away from Srinagar. You would be surprised to know that there is no local population that resided in Gulmarg. The place is only accessible for tourists and the Indian Army. The only locals that live in the town are the ones who travel during the day for work.

Therefore, it is only natural to find the place deserted at times and extremely tourist-centric, sometimes at the point of being annoying. Also be ready to pay steep prices for things like pony rides, gondolas, guided tours and viewpoints. These prices almost double during winters and the arrival of snowfall.

There is no other place like Gulmarg in winters and if you love the cold or want to experience the beauty of snowfall, you should try and visit the place between December to March but get ready to pay handsomely for it.

Here are some of the places that you must visit when in Gulmarg.

1. Apharwat Peak

2. Gulmarg Gondola

3. Alpather Lake

4. Kilanmarg

5. Maharaja Hari Singh’s Cottage

6. Children’s Park

7. Maharani Temple

Pahalgam is 2.5 hours road ride from Srinagar and 4-5 hours from Gulmarg if you are making this trip directly.

Pampore is really nothing more than a small regular town, much like the rest of India. But the area around Pampore is popular for saffron fields where purple saffron flowers bloom during the autumn season from which saffron strands are extracted.

Of course, catching these flowers bloom will depend upon the time you visit. But if you want to buy authentic real saffron and related produce like almonds, walnut, raisins, fresh spices, honey, gulkand, Kashmiri kehwa etc. you should stop by and visit some of these places located right on the highway to Pahalgam

Pahalgam is a small town located east of Srinagar that gradually moves towards the higher mountains that you have been looking at the backdrop so far. Unlike Gulmarg, the town is home to locals and you will find a small market, local shops, homes and people moving around the town. I also found it less touristy and more homely.

There are a few places to visit inside Pahalgam town. Here are some that you can explore even on foot if you are living around the main town:

1. Baisaran Road

2. Mamaleshwar Temple

3. Poshwan Park

4. Dara Shikoh Garden

5. Tulian Lake Trek

6. Tarsar Marsar Trek

But some of the best sights are located out of town and you will need to make small trips to visit them. A full day trip to all of these places combined will finish up your sightseeing. You will need to hire a local cab since private vehicles are not allowed in most of these areas. The fare for a half-day cab is INR 2100 and INR 3000 for a full day.

If you are looking for more information on the places to visit in Pahalgam and the popular treks, check out our blog .

Aru valley is one of the popular places for sightseeing near Pahalgam where tourists flock for some fantastic views of the dreamy mountain ranges. It is around 30 minutes ride from Pahalgam and I suggest you get a local cab to take you there. 

Not only the ride to the valley is beautiful, to me, but the valley itself is also comparable to the photographs I had seen of Switzerland. The mountains turn green during the summers with occasional wandering horses and their owner hiking in the wilderness.

Once you reach Aru valley, you can make a stop at the nearest park that is a fantastic place for your memorable photos of Kashmir. We rented out some local Kashmiri garments and went overboard with the cliche touristy poses. Renting out garments cost us INR 100 per person.

Right next to the park you can also take some ponies to reach the interiors of Aru valley that takes around 30 minutes. Do make the trip if you haven’t had your share of pony rides. The result is a lovely meadow and patch of grassland that should be even more beautiful during the blooming season.

Betab Valley

On the other side of Pahalgam is Betab valley on the way to Chandanwadi. The valley’s name comes from the hit Bollywood movie ‘Betab’ starring Sunny Deol and Amrita Singh that was shot here. In fact, the two decades from the 60s – 80s is when Bollywood made Kashmir its go-to destination for shooting.

Today, you can find a sprawling park in Betab valley. The Lidder river makes its way through the park with icy cold and crystal clear water that the locals drink from directly. It later merges with Jhelum. The park is huge with a walkable stone trail that runs across. You can also enjoy a small meal on the riverbank of Maggi, tea, coffee or ice cream from a nearby stall.

However, you will catch the best views of the valley on your way to Chandanwadi. Stop your car and get down to take in the aerial view of the Lidder river, blue in colour, cutting and making its way through the wide meadow.

Chandanwadi

Chandanwadi is a small and extremely important town to the northeast of Pahalgam. It is the starting point for the Amarnath yatra, a long arduous and religious journey that several Hindus make to the endpoint at the Amarnath caves. It is also the last village on this route.

If you are fascinated by the Amarnath journey but are not making it, I would suggest you can make your way to Chandanwadi and find more about it. You will also find the river that makes its way from the Amarnath caves and maybe hike a couple of kilometres to get in the feel. Make sure you have warm clothes for this place since it can get pretty chilly.

Including this in your itinerary is completely an option since you will have to take a detour on your way to Sonmarg and maybe spend an additional 2 hours visiting it. But we did that and I will tell you about it.

Wular Lake is HUGE! You can see that on the map. Geographically, it is the biggest freshwater lake in India (Sambhar lake is saltwater and Chilka lake is a brackish or semi-saline water lake bigger than this).

Since it is so huge, you can access it from several points. We made a halt at Wular vintage park and I think the view to the lake was simply mindblowing. You don’t have any shops in the area so get some snacks or a meal with you and make a picnic out of it. The garden is beautiful and a great resting place for late afternoon.

Sonmarg was our last destination in our 9-day trip itinerary and luckily, we had the best of it there. When I was looking up for stuff to do in Sonmarg earlier and really nothing came up. So, don’t rely on the internet.

The most popular place to visit in Sonmarg is Thajiwas glacier. And I think that you must not miss it. While most of the local guides will convince you that you need a pony to reach there, if you are fit enough to hike 5 km on slightly uneven terrain, you can also make this journey on foot.

We did one way on a pony (costs up to INR 600 per pony) and returned back on foot. The views are amazing. At the glacier, you probably won’t find any snow during the peak in summer. But it’s still cold up there and you can hang around for tea and Maggi.

You can read more about places to visit in Sonmarg with popular treks on our blog

The next trip from Sonmarg is towards zero point. While it shows just 6 km from Sonmarg, its actual distance is 23 km. Zero-point refers to the border point between Kashmir and Ladakh. Only local vehicles are allowed to make this journey so hire one if you don’t have one already. It could cost you around INR 3000.

The journey itself is exhilarating. You can find snow-capped mountains in the distance even at the peak of the summer. You can also observe the terrain changing from bright green mountains to dry yellow ones with distance. We found some large blocks of ice from last winter that melts into icy cold water streams and makes tiny waterfalls.

We crossed the Zoji La pass and saw the construction of the tunnel that will open up Ladakh all year round (currently its closes in winters). The zero point lies just ahead of Gumri where you can find a war memorial and a small temple that you must make a stop at. A small cafe run by the army also serves tea, Maggi and momos.

Saying goodbye to Kashmir

No matter where ever you are, you need to travel back to Srinagar to travel back. If you are travelling back by air, make sure you reach the airport with an ample amount of time since the security checking is rather strict.

Kashmir will imprint strong memories for you. Memories of mountains and Himalayas that you will never find anywhere on the planet (even if they look alike). If you decide to make another trip, you can also decide to travel deep in the mountains to some of the lakes with trek time that could range from 3 – 10 days.

Best time to visit Kashmir

Winters in kashmir.

Now if you love winters and the snow, I will definitely suggest that you visit Kashmir once in the winters. Especially Gulmarg. But it comes with its own restrictions.

On one side it is extremely cold where the temperature drops down to several degrees minus zero. On the other hand, your travel and movement os fairly restricted since most of the roads are blocked with snow and only small vehicles are allowed to pass. On top of that, the prices are insanely high.

But I still think that the price is worth it and you must visit Kashmir during the winter at least once in your life

Summers in Kashmir

As beautiful are the winters, summers are also a fantastic time to be in Kashmir. Especially if you are looking for some respite from the heat. Although Srinagar still remains quite hot. You can find relatively better weather in Gulmarg and Sonmarg.

It is also a good time to travel long distances and cover a lot of places in Kashmir. Tourist activities are at their peak corresponding to the number of tourists that flock here. Several places that are closed off during the winters are open only after the snow melts during a few months in summer.

Most of the treks to lakes deep in the mountains takes place during this time. You can also plan all your adventure activities then.

Spring and Autumn

I think these are probably the best months to go. Also called the ‘shoulder’ season, spring is when the snow has not yet melted in a lot of places in Kashmir. You can catch snow and frozen glaciers near Gulmarg and Sonmarg as late as April. Plus, the steep prices have come down and there is the ability for more movement.

Autumn is also a fantastic time. It is when the saffron flowers bloom in the valley and with a little effort, you can find these rare views. The weather is a little chilly but the days are warm. The tourist activity also subsides after a busy summer so you can get great prices on hotels and flights.

If you are going in search of some snow, plan your vacation in mid-October and you will be able to catch some fantastic views, at least in some areas.

The ultimate travel guide to Kashmir

Amir Khusro rightly said, “Gar Bar-ru-e-ZaminAst; HaminAst, HaminAstHaminAst” (If there is heaven on the earth, it is here, it is here) describing the endless beauty of Kashmir.

It's not just a place you visit, but an emotion you experience – with its forever soothing background score of gushing water, breathtaking meadows, aroma of pine trees and vibrancy of saffron engulfing it.

Kashmir is a visual poetry

When it comes to visiting a majestic place such as Kashmir, little planning goes a long way, after all you don’t want to miss out on all the experiences that it has to offer.

So here’s the ultimate travel guide, complete with tips and recommendations, to ensure that you have the most wonderful vacation in Kashmir!

But before we begin, here are a few things to remember:

• Kashmir is the winter wonderland of India, make sure you carry your woollens (even if you’re visiting in May, you’d be surprised how pleasant and rather chilly even the summers are, up there). Woollen socks and warm, waterproof gloves will be your best friends in the cold winters of Kashmir. Also, don’t forget to carry your trustworthy sports shoes if you plan on indulging in any snowy escapades.

• While pharmacies are available everywhere, remember to pack all your SOS medicines! The last thing you’d want is to be stuck with a sore throat on a vacation.

• Pro tip: ensure that the accommodation you book has a thermostat, so that your stay there is cozy and comfortable.

• One last thing that you absolutely must know is that only postpaid connections work in the valley. So be sure to make all the requisite arrangements for uninterrupted connectivity.

Best time to visit

Every season in Kashmir has its own charm.

You can select the time to visit based on the experiences you wish to get out of Kashmir. If you wish to see snowfall and have a high tolerance for low temperatures, December through February is the ideal time for you.

Spring is believed to be the most beautiful season to see Kashmir in. Kashmir blooms with beauty beyond belief during the months from April to June, during which even the weather Gods are kind and the temperature is pleasant and enjoyable. April is also a great month if you wish to see blooming tulips all over the valley.

If you wish to see the Apple orchards in full bloom, the month of September is perfect for a visit. From October-March, Kashmir transforms itself into a winter paradise with the Dal lake, freezing in subzero temperatures to become a magnificent cricket pitch.

How to get there and how to get around?

The Srinagar domestic airport (Sheikh-ul-Alam Airport) is well connected to all major cities in India. There is no railway connectivity in Srinagar, but it is 290 kilometres away from Jammu which is well connected to the Indian Railways network.

To travel within Kashmir, you could take the JKSRTC deluxe buses from Srinagar, though luxury coaches and tourist taxis are easily available for local sightseeing as well as trips and excursions out of Srinagar. If you are a little tight on budget, mini buses and auto rickshaws are the ideal choice for commuting.

Places to visit in Kashmir

The capital of J&K, Srinagar is perhaps the most modern city of Kashmir. Where it does boast of many entertainment amenities like theatres and malls, it does manage to preserve its rustic charm.

When in Srinagar do plan a day or night stay on a houseboat. The experience of staying on Dal Lake is a unique and beautiful one, that you simply cannot skip out on. The boat stays anchored on the lake and you get to soak in some gorgeous views of the mountains surrounding you. .

For the adventure seekers, Astanmarg, which is located right on the outskirts of Srinagar, offers a great camping and picnic experience.

When it comes to gardens, Srinagar has quite literally knocked it out of the park with Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, Chashm-e-Shahi, Naseem Bagh and Chinar Bagh which blanket the city with their refreshing greenery.

When here, do experience the spiritual serenity of the Shankaracharya temple and the Hazratbal Mosque while you are out exploring the city.

‘Gulmarg’ literally translates to the ‘meadow of flowers’ and is rightly named so with its breathtaking views. This small town tucked in beautiful green meadows is a sight to behold during spring time. But the best time to visit it is during the winters, when the land is covered in an ocean of fluffy snow!

You can take a bus or a cab to Gulmarg from Srinagar. But it is advised not to take your private vehicles, since roads to Gulmarg tend to be a little risky in winters. The two biggest attractions that Gulmarg has to offer are the Gondola ride and trekking. A short and fun trek to Alpather lake from Gondola Phase 2 station is an excellent option for those who are up for the challenge of trekking in the cold.

Gulmarg Golf Course with its asymmetrical contours is counted amongst the largest 18-hole golf courses in the country and is one of the most popular golfing destinations in India.

A quick bus ride is all it takes to get to this golden meadow. The biggest attraction of Sonmarg is the Thajjwas glacier, where you can indulge in activities like sledding and trekking!

Zojila Pass and Zero Points are high altitude spots in Sonmarg which offer mesmerising scenic views. If you want to trek further up, you can check out Table Top in Sonmarg which offers a view of the entire valley.

A word of caution for travellers visiting Sonmarg during the winter months- this area tends to shut down for tourists due to heavy snowfall and high likelihood of avalanches. We highly recommend checking with the locals before booking your trip here.

The picturesque beauty of Pahalgam has been a silver screen favourite since the inception of Indian cinema aka Bollywood!. With the backdrop of deodar and pine trees and several valleys, you will certainly feel like the main character of your own story.

Pahalgam provides an ideal setting for an array of adventure sports like hiking, trekking, and fishing and is also a starting point of the Amarnath yatra.

The town is famous for its scenic beauty and is the jewel of the stunning Liddar valley.

Baisaran, famously known as "Mini Switzerland '' is a short pony ride away from Pahalgam. It makes for an excellent picnic spot and has multiple food stalls and tapris to enjoy with your vacation gang.

Things to eat

Kashmiri cuisine is characterised by its soothing yet zesty flavours that stay with you long after you’ve devoured the dishes prepared for you.

‘Wazwan’ is a multi-course meal. It is a staple of Kashmiri culture and identity. Most dishes in Wazwan are meat-based and use lamb or chicken. Rogan josh is the signature dish of a Wazwan. This spicy red lamb-based curry is ideally eaten with saffron rice.

For yet another gastronomic adventure, you can try Yakhni. Yakhni refers to the stock or broth of beef, chicken, lamb or mutton. It is touted for its health benefits and is often the base for many foods including pulao and other shorbas (soups). Yakhni is usually prepared with a curd based gravy which renders the delicious creamy texture to it.

Whilst in Kashmir don’t forget to sip on the locally prepared Kahwa or Kashmiri chai. This water based hot drink prepared with a generous helping of saffron and dry fruits is known for its digestive properties. With its warm and soothing taste, Kahwa makes the perfect accompaniment to enjoy the ambience and the weather of Kashmir.

Things to shop

Kashmir is famed for its legendary handlooms and handicrafts! The shawls and the textiles made here, speak volumes of the land’s rich cultural past. In fact, the art of making these masterpieces is passed down generationally and the product is considered family-heirlooms by those who buy them.

Kashmir is also where a large amount of India's grapes and apples are produced. So you’re likely to find local street vendors selling the freshest fruits you’ve ever bitten into, at every corner, here!

You can also get dry fruits such as almonds, walnuts, cashews and pine nuts as gifts for your friends and family back home (no jokes, they are for nearly half the price than what you get them in Delhi for)!

That’s it, on your Kashmiri travel guide!

Kashmir Travel Tips: 17 Important Things To Remember Before Going On A Trip To Kashmir

Are you planning a trip to Kashmir this year? If yes, then I can guarantee you that you are going to have an experience of your lifetime. But, before you travel, have you gathered enough information about the things to do or don’ts in Kashmir? If you haven’t done that yet then you have come to the right place. Let’s check out the things you must remember before going to Kashmir .

Kashmir had always been on my bucket list. Probably it is there on every Indian’s bucket list. This year I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel to Kashmir. And, I had one of the best times traveling across the true Paradise on Earth .

But while traveling in Kashmir I experienced that there are a few things that every traveler must know about Kashmir. Or, you might end up having some unpleasant experiences. But don’t worry. Go through the below list that will clear your doubts about the things you need to know before going to Kashmir.

#1. Prepaid Sim does not work in Kashmir

If you are an Indian( non-resident of Kashmir) or a foreigner, your regular prepaid mobile sim card is not going to work in Kashmir . Due to safety purposes, the Indian government only allows a postpaid network to work in Kashmir.

This is an important fact to know before traveling to Kashmir. Postpaid networks of Vodafone, Airtel, and Jio work fine. I would recommend you to carry a Jio postpaid sim card as in most of the places Jio network was available. Vodafone is the worst of the three. It gave me a terrible time in Pahalgam as it didn’t work at all.

So, before arriving in Kashmir you can talk to your trip moderator or driver for arranging a local sim card for you. Or it’s better to travel to Kashmir with a postpaid sim card.

#2. WIFI does not work well in Kashmir

Internet connectivity in Kashmir is comparatively poor than many other hill stations in North India. If you need Wifi while in Kashmir get that clarified with the hotel owners. Not all hotels or houseboats provide you with a Wifi.

Wifi speed is very poor in Kashmir. So, if you are only depending on hotel wifi you might find yourself in trouble. So, it is advisable to carry at least one postpaid connection with a group of tourists.

#3. Shared transport is not available

Traveling solo in Kashmir is a problem as shared transport in Kashmir is not frequently available. It makes solo traveling costly.

Public buses and shared taxis are not available frequently. Though cabs are available at the airport and Srinagar taxi stand which you can book for longer hours. In the Pahalgam market taxi stand, you can hire cabs to visit places around Pahalgam . You can find cabs for Gulmarg from the Tangmarg check post.

But, if you are traveling with friends or family, it is advisable to book a cab for your complete tour. It may cost you a few extra bucks but it will be really helpful to have a driver with you who will be your help as you will find many tourist traps in Kashmir.

#4. Reach Srinagar airport 2 hours before the departure of the scheduled flight

If you traveling from Kashmir by air then during a departure you must reach Srinagar airport at least 2 hours before your scheduled departure time.

Though it is mentioned for every domestic flight in India to reach 2 hours before the departure time you can still board a flight if you reach at least 45 minutes before. But the departure from Kashmir is a must-to-do. 

It is advised to do so as you would have to go through two more extra layers of checking. The check-in baggage is scanned and tagged at the Airport entrance and given to you. Then you can enter the airport with your baggage. But now, you cannot open your check-in baggage.

It is done to ensure the security of the passengers. As Kashmir is a highly sensitive zone the government of India imposes these extra sets of precautions.

#5. Beware of tourist scams in Kashmir

Kashmir is a dream destination for many of us. But many people have an unpleasant experience in Kashmir as they got scammed. Yes, you heard me right, Kashmir is full of tourist traps that you may not be aware of.

There are many traps like the “ I will take you there scam ”, “ Shikara ride scam ”, “ Baisaran valley pony ride scam”, “Slaze-ride scam”, and “Gulmarg tour guide scam”.

But if you are aware beforehand you will be able to protect yourself from unforeseen problems. For this reason, having a local driver cum guide helps.

#6. Do not buy anything in Shikara

There is nothing more relaxing than an easy Shikara ride in the Dal lake. Watching the sun rise and set on the Shikara is a pleasure to cherish forever. But we are not alone in our Shikara ride. You will find a bunch of local traders getting close to your Shikara on their ferries.

No, don’t worry they are not harmful but the problem is that they are relentless. They will not leave you easily until they get to sell you something. But, do not buy anything from them . You might be thinking why? What’s wrong with helping these poor local vendors?

The big problem is that most of these sellers will scam you and you wouldn’t even know. Firstly, they will ask you for some absurd price. Or they will ask a very low price which you would not be able to say no to. And, in most cases, you will get fake products. So, it’s better to avoid buying from these small sellers.

Note: I am in no way against these small sellers. I was very much intrigued by their lifestyle around Dal lake. But I have seen many people getting conned in that. So, I am just trying to help you out. Even during one of my Shikara rides, the ferryman asked us “Sir, do not buy anything from them, when they get close we cannot help you even if we know what’s wrong.”

#7. Carry Sunglasses, Sunscreen lotion

You must carry a pair of sunglasses( preferably refractor glasses), Sunscreen lotion if you are visiting Kashmir. The weather is very dry in Kashmir valley and there is a high chance of getting sunburn.

In Gulmarg, while there is snow covering around there is a high chance of getting a sunburn. You must put on your sunscreen lotion and refractor glasses if you are visiting Apharwat peak by Gondola. That would be helpful.

#8. Say “No”

In Kashmir, you will be approached by a hundred touts throughout your journey. But, that does not mean you should agree to all of them. You would find many sellers approaching you for selling saffron, Pashmina shawls, wooden works, etc.  Put them off by saying “ No ” if you are not interested.

In Gulmarg, almost 20 people approached me asking to take a Slaze ride. They will say that you will not be able to walk through the snow. That’s a big lie. A Slaze is a piece of a wooden platform that is pulled by rope while you will be sitting on it.  They will push you to your limits but stay firm to your answer and say “No”. And always confirm the rate before taking any ride.  

#9. Always bargain

If you are poor at bargaining then you may find yourself in deep trouble. They will quote us an absurd price. I can remember I got the same showpiece from a store near Gulmarg at INR 50 that I didn’t buy at INR 300 from Meena Bazar.

In Pahalgam, we were asked for 2500/ per person for the Baisaran valley horse ride. We started bargaining from 800/ person and ultimately finalized at 1100/ person. You can see the difference. So, always try to bargain as hard as you can.

Though I cannot blame them completely. Tourism is their main source of income. What they will make during the peak season will help them during their off-season. It’s the same with every place in the country.

#10. Carry dresses according to the season

You must carry your dresses according to the season you are visiting.

In Kashmir, Summer from May-Aug can be extremely hot. But you will find it much cooler during the night. So, you can just carry regular clothes along with a thermal.

During winter, when it snows during Dec-Feb temperature drops below 0 °C. You must woolen thermals along with winter jackets. And don’t forget to carry water-repellant gloves.

You should always carry waterproof shoes along with you. It would be good if that is high ankle or You can carry separate gaiters alongside.

#11. Carry an original ID card

You should carry any one of your original ID cards which has your address and photograph( preferably Voter ID, Aadhar Card, Passport, Driving License, etc.) They may not allow photocopies.

#12. Check Covid-guidelines before traveling to Kashmir

There are no quarantine rules or swab tests at the Srinagar airport. You don’t have to show your RTPCR test reports too. For Indian residents, you will only have to show your double vaccination report. Please carry a printout of your vaccination report.

Note : Covid related guidelines change frequently. So, check government websites for more details before your visit.

#13. Hiring a Kashmiri driver helps

J&K police are strict and will do repeated checks here and there. As we all know that Kashmir is always on high alert, they will check everyone they suspect. If you are arriving from outside Kashmir with a non-local driver you will face more checks.

As they want you to be safe they will not allow a non-Kashmiri driver on unknown routes after dark. But they will allow local drivers who are aware of the surroundings much better than anyone else.

#14. You need to hire a cab from Pahalgam to visit Aru, Betaab, and Chandanwari

You need to hire a cab from Pahalgam Taxi Stand even if you are coming with your car. I found this to be a bit strange practice but I can’t help it. The local taxi union does not allow other cars to go beyond that point. So, we had to hire that. It is what it is.

The good part is that the Pahalgam taxi rates are pre-determined and you can book separate types of car as per your need.  You don’t have to bargain like everywhere else.

#15. Carry your medicines, power bank, and enough cash

Kashmir is still far away from modern cities. So, you won’t get medicine shops or ATMs outside Srinagar that easily. So it’s better to carry enough cash and required medicines. You won’t see many shops having POS machines available.

Though they have digital payment options like Gpay, Phonepe, etc. available with them nowadays. As the network is unstable in Kashmir, it is better not to solely depend on digital payment options.

You should also carry a power bank with you as it could be required to keep your phone charged.

#16. No liquor shops in Pahalgam and Gulmarg

There are no liquor shops available in Gulmarg or Pahalgam. There are very few even in Srinagar as alcohol consumption is not popular among the localities due to religious beliefs. Though tourists are allowed to consume alcohol. But if you are planning to have some, you may find it difficult to buy some in Pahalgam, Gulmarg, or Sonmarg. So, buy accordingly in Srinagar or bring some along with you.

Note : Yes, tourists are allowed to consume alcohol. But, you should not go overboard while drinking and disrespect the local culture. Always be courteous towards their religious beliefs.

#17. No OLA, Uber/ Zomato, Swiggy

Ola or Uber cab services are not available in Kashmir till now. So, please be careful while you are roaming around places there and late-night outings are not at all advisable due to safety reasons.

Services of food delivery apps like Zomato, and Swiggy are not available in Kashmir. But, I don’t think you would need that in Kashmir. This place is a food lover’s paradise and you can get amazing street foods in food joints in Srinagar. Going local is the way to enjoy it.
