Best Kashmir Tour Packages in 2024
Kashmir: the ultimate nirvana on earth.
If you have heard that Kashmir is – the heaven on earth – it should be reason enough to visit Kashmir. The unmatched beauty has rivals only in its culture and cuisine. This is the reason why among all India tour packages, Kashmir is most in demand. The beauty of the area complements the various adventure activities on offer. You will get to try some high-altitude activities that you cannot avail anywhere else in India. Aim for Kashmir tour packages in the summers months to beat the heat in the mainland. Kashmiri people are warm and generous.
If you are interested in gastronomic tour packages, Kashmir could be your big attraction. The cuisine of the valley is very different from those in the mainland as the raw ingredients – fruits and vegetables – taste different. With such a unique and unusual escapade, Kashmir will stand out among all your Indian holidays.
Kashmir Tourism: Best Places to Visit
The capital and largest city in the valley has a lot of beautiful places to see. The gardens, parks and architecture make your Kashmir tour worthwhile. But the crowning glory is the Dal Lake. You may want to see the city on foot or hop on a horse for a ride around. The wide range of activities and shopping areas put Srinagar on the must-visit list of Kashmir tour packages.
If natural beauty is your muse, you must make a stopover at Pahalgam. Here you will find all the elements of paradise – forest, snowy peaks in the background, flowers, meadows, crystal clear water of the Lidder river etc. Let Kashmir tour packages help you de-stress at this enchanting location.
One of the prime tourist places under most Kashmir tour packages, here you have flowery meadows to stare at. If you want to catch the glorious sight of the valley full of blooming flowers, summer would be the best time to visit Kashmir. Gulmarg has enough adventurous activities to keep you charged during the holidays.
Kupwara epitomises greenery in its various shades. The bright green meadows have borders of dark green alpine forests and green mountains beyond that in the distance. Clear gurgling water and a fresh breeze will turn out to be the rejuvenating part of your Kashmir tourism plan. Check on Kashmir tour packages that cover Kupwara.
The place gets its name from the colour of the flowers that bloom here. Evidently, sightseeing is the most attractive activity in Sonamarg. Camping and trekking are other great options at this scenic place. You may want to look at Kashmir tour packages with Sonamarg on their itinerary.
Kashmir Tourism: Local Dishes to Try
Kashmiri dum aloo (potato curry).
Locally called ‘dum olav’, here is a spicy potato curry to brighten up your Kashmir package. It tastes noticeably different from the similar dish cooked in other parts of the country. The size of the potatoes is big, and the texture is melt-in-mouth. Take advantage of Kashmir tour packages to try this delicacy.
Wozij Chaaman (Cottage Cheese in Spices)
Wozij Chaaman is a nother melt-in-the-mouth dish that you can’t miss while on Kashmir tour packages. Most vegetarian fares offer this delicious item that is made with cottage cheese or paneer. The delicate flavour stands out due to the spices of the valley.
Rogan Josh (Spicy Lamb Curry)
Kashmir packages give you a wonderful opportunity to relish this delectable dish that is synonymous with the cuisine of the valley. This famous non-vegetarian item contains succulent pieces of lamb in flavourful, mildly spicy gravy. It is an elaborate dish meant for special occasions. Tourists on Kashmir tour packages can get a taste of this lip-smacking item at many of the restaurants in the valley.
Kahwah (Kashmiri Green Tea)
Utilise Kashmir tour packages to reach out for this exceptional drink of the valley. Spelt as Kaahwah, Kehwah, Kehwa etc., this spice-scented green tea is served garnished with slivers of almonds. This helps warm the body while it settles the stomach. It is an antioxidant-packed healthy beverage. Make this extraordinary beverage a routine part of your Kashmir package.
Kashmir Tourism: Top Things to Do
Sail on the dal lake.
The biggest draw in most Kashmir tour packages, the Dal Lake has charming, small rowboats called ‘shikara’ to take rides on the lake. You can ride up to the island garden on the lake and have a cup of ‘Kahwah’ tea. Alternately, book a houseboat to stay on the lake to add a unique experience to your Kashmir tourism.
Energise on the Gondola Ride
Catch a glimpse of the snowclad mountain ranges from high above the ground. This thrilling ride in a cable car hanging from a powered cable will excite you as much as the bird-eye view amazes you. Kashmir tour packages cannot be complete without this exhilarating experience.
Enjoy Snowboarding and Skiing
The adventure of skiing down icy slopes is an incomparable experience. And if you have kids travelling with you, book snowboarding in your Kashmir packages and watch their glee. These activities may not be possible during some summer months. Do check with all tour operators to ensure the best time to visit Kashmir.

Couples can spend quality time with each other and also indulge in exciting activities like gondola ride, skiing, snowboarding, etc.

Q. What is Gulmarg in Kashmir famous for? A. Make sure of the Kashmir packages you shortlist, it comprises a visit to bucolic Gulmarg. It is Gulmarg’s breathtaking natural setting amid mountains and lush valleys that is a big draw for tourists. Some of the popular activities tourists pursue in Gulmarg is riding the gondola and a trek to the scenic Alpather Lake. Gulmarg is preferred by nature lovers and trekkers owing to the abundance of trekking trails that lace the region. For those wishing to see a white winter landscape there isn’t a better destination than Gulmarg in the winters. Activities such as skiing and snowboarding gather steam in these months and you have travellers from across the world getting in to enjoy the ambience and some snow sports. Some of the other popular sightseeing destinations in Gulmarg comprise visits to the Apharwat Peak, Maharani Temple, Children’s Park, Maharaja Palace, Gulmarg Golf Course, St. Mary’s Church. Ningle Nallah, Strawberry Valley, Ferozpur Nallah and Khilanmarg. Q. Which is the best season to travel to Kashmir? A. Before scouring for Kashmir tour packages, research about the ideal time to visit this mountain state. Kashmir otherwise is a year-round destination, the summer and winter months having their special significance and charm. But most tourists prefer a summer visit, between March and October when the weather is pleasant through the day with lovely golden sunshine lasting all morning and noon. It is the time to see its many gardens in full bloom, capture the alpine meadows in all their lushness and drift on the waters of the Dal Lake in Srinagar and immerse yourself in the experience as life slowly returns to it after the lull of the winters. April to November is a good time to travel to Pahalgam and enjoy some white-water rafting. Horse-back riding is another popular activity in Pahalgam at this time of the year, as is golfing, with some wonderful golf resorts in the region. Winter is the best time to visit Kashmir if a trip to Gulmarg is on your mind. Come December and the region goes under a blanket of snow, making way of snow adventures such as skiing and snowboarding. Q. Which is the best way to travel around in Kashmir? A. Ahead of figuring out your Kashmir holiday packages, you need to be aware of the local mode of transport in order to get around. The predominant modes of transport in Kashmir are mini buses and taxis, although there are several auto-rickshaws available and comfortable air-conditioned buses too. Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation has its buses plying round the city, while Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation operates a fleet of luxury coaches that are perfect for going sightseeing around the state. The locals, however, prefer to take the mini bus, a versatile mode of transport, that can be found across the city including in the suburbs, at all times of the day. They always move on a pre- decided route. But for shorter distances, you can bank on an auto-rickshaw, easy to hail and perfect for heading into its narrow bustling bazaars and markets. Q. What is the best time to visit Kashmir? A. Before considering one of the Kashmir packages , you need to know in detail about the seasons of Kashmir and which more favourable for travel. Otherwise a year-round destination, it would be ideal to travel to Kashmir in the summer to fall months between March and October. You can see its blossoming gardens, hear the bird song, take in sweeping views of the alpine meadows and simply watch Srinagar’s Dal Lake hustle back to life. Visit Pahalgam between April and November for some rafting and horse-riding. For golf, come between April and November. But if snow is your thing and you care for some snowboarding and skiing, head to Gulmarg between December and first half of March. Q. Are there enough ATMs all across Kashmir? A. While you finalise one of the Kashmir tour packages , you need to be aware of how much cash you should be carrying and the number of ATMs at your disposal. The ATM network of Kashmir is quite vast, and you shouldn’t have difficulty spotting an ATM while travelling. However, it makes sense to always carry sufficient - not copious - cash at all times while travelling, because many an ATM could be out of order or have run out of cash. Srinagar has plenty of ATMs and withdrawing cash is not at all an issue, but it is not quite the same with Pahalgam and Gulmarg. There are fewer ATMs in these areas, so best to carry enough cash on you when venturing beyond Srinagar. Q. What is the local mode of transport in Kashmir? A. Though all the Kashmir travel packages you browse through will provide for your transportation, it is imperative to know how you can commute locally. Though the significant modes of transport in Kashmir are taxis and mini bus, you will also come across ample auto-rickshaws and luxury coaches. You can ride aboard a Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation bus or a Jammu & Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation bus that have a fleet of luxury coaches as well for local sightseeing within Kashmir. Else hire a tourist taxi that takes you to the local sights and also for trips outside Srinagar. The most preferred local transport is the mini bus which operates through the city and also in the suburban areas. They travel on a pre-fixed route. For shorter distances, rely on nothing other than the ubiquitous auto-rickshaws. Q. Are there direct flights from New Delhi to Kashmir? A. There are direct flights from New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport to Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport also called the Srinagar Airport. Significant carriers like SpiceJet, AirAsia, GoAir, Vistara, IndiGo, Air India operate on this route, with the journey time of a non-stop New Delhi to Srinagar flight being approximately 1.5 hours. A well-served route, flights are available at a great frequency through the day. Q. When does the tulip festival in Kashmir take place? A. The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar hosts the tulip festival every year in the spring season - in April - when you can see an array of tulips in wondrous colours bloom to form an extremely photogenic landmark. Backed by the serene Dal Lake, the blossoming daffodils and hyacinths along with the iconic tulips draw in nature and photography lovers from all over the world to this gorgeous tulip garden in Srinagar. Q. What are the things to do in Gulmarg? A. Outside of taking in the splendid natural setting of Gulmarg with its mountains and green valleys, you are recommended a few other activities such as a gondola ride, trekking to Alpather Lake from the Gondola Phase 2 station. Gulmarg is filled with trekking routes but the most popular of them is the trek to Alpather Lake. In the winter months, skiing among other snow-activities like snowboarding are in full swing. However, to sum it up, the activities you cannot miss in Gulmarg other than the gondola ride and Alpather Lake trek include Apharwat Peak, Gulmarg golf course, Maharani temple, St. Mary’s Church, Maharaja Palace, Strawberry Valley, Children’s Park, Khilanmarg, Ningle Nallah and Ferozpur Nallah. Q. What are the places I can visit in Kashmir? A. Your Kashmir holiday should include a visit to Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Anantnag, Sonmarg, Awantipora, Aru Valley, Dachigam National Park, Harwan among others. A typical itinerary for Kashmir would be made up of stay in a houseboat on Dal Lake, a night in Gulmarg, a night in Pahalgam, about three nights in Srinagar and a day trip to Sonamarg.

Experience Jammu & Kashmir
When you visit with a suitable Jammu and Kashmir tour package, you will be able to witness for yourself how the region has been a hot spot for various cultures to develop, due to which there is a vast difference of cultures in this small geographic location. The southern-most region, Jammu is a hub for the Hindu faith, with Kashmiri Pandits being the original inhabitants of the region. Certain Jammu and Kashmir packages also include a trip to the Vaishno Devi Temple, which is an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and sees thousands of visitors every year visit who come to pay homage to the deity. Kashmir, being at the northern front of the region, has had influence from the middle-eastern part of the world and is predominantly inhabited by people of the Islamic faith. Ladakh, on the other hand, is a hub for Buddhism in India and is also famous for tourist places like Pangong Lake, Khardung La, and so on.
Things to do in Jammu & Kashmir
There is so much to see and experience in the region and when you book your Jammu and Kashmir tour packages online, you can see if they cover the following key locations, attractions, and activities:
Visit the Vaishno Devi Temple
The Vaishno Devi temple is located in Katra, a region in Jammu. The temple attracts thousands of devotees and pilgrims each year. Located 5200 meters above sea level, one has to complete a 12 km climb to get to the temple. Earlier, pilgrims would all do the climb on foot, however, now there are several other transportation facilities available, such as mules, palkis, cable transport, and even helicopters at reasonable prices! These costs are often included in Jammu and Kashmir tour packages.
Go Skiing in Gulmarg
Established as a ski resort by the British, Gulmarg is every bit of a fascinating wonder that one could imagine. It is located 56 km north of Srinagar and is a popular destination throughout the year. During summers, the valley is bedazzled with lush flora and the views in full bloom during the summers are breathtaking. During the winters, Gulmarg undergoes a huge change. It snows heavily in the region, which forms a thick layer that is perfect for skiing. Ski equipment can easily be rented here at prefixed costs and the prices are reasonable. Most Jammu and Kashmir tour packages online include a trip to Gulmarg.
Visit Dal Lake
Dal Lake has been dubbed as the jewel of Kashmir. It is a lake that is about 18 square km in area, and on a good day, offers clear views of the misty Pir Panjal Mountains. The lake is also where you can find the famed houseboats of Kashmir , which are inspired by the houseboats of the British Raj era. There are early morning floating markets in the lake as well, which offer an unforgettable experience. When choosing your Jammu and Kashmir package at Veena World, you can select one that also offers you the chance to stay a night floating in a houseboat atop the Dal Lake.
Visit Pangong Lake
Another beautiful lake that you can visit with your Jammu and Kashmir tour packages, Pangong Lake is located in Ladakh, and the freezing cold water splashing in the gusty winds is a truly a sight to behold. Pangong Lake is well renowned and can be seen in popular culture and media. One can only reach here by road and even the way to Pangong is as much a delight as is the destination.
Biking in Ladakh
It is probably every Indian biker’s dream to take the grandest of the Indian touring routes. Ladakh is the perfect destination for riding your bike across the highlands as you pass through mountains and valleys. The experience is priceless and is a must-try for every biking enthusiast out there. Bikes can be rented at a standard cost if travellers do not wish to bring their own vehicles.
The Monuments of Kargil
Kargil is a district in Ladakh and it paves the way to the northern provinces of Kashmir. The region is a memorial to the Kargil conflict of 1999 between India and Pakistan. It houses a museum which holds important artefacts from the war. One could kindle their patriotic spirit at such a location.
Monasteries of Ladakh
Ladakh is home to a large group of people from the Buddhist faith. The monasteries of Ladakh are often located in remote locations, away from the hustle and bustle of modern cities. With Jammu and Kashmir tour packages, one could visit monasteries such as Stakna monastery, Bardan monastery, Lamayuru monastery, and so on.
Best time to visit Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir is a vast region and has varying geography that affects the most favourable period to visit the destination. With a Jammu and Kashmir tour package, you can experience many destinations in the region throughout the year.
The following are the best times for visiting the most popular destinations in Jammu and Kashmir:
Jammu experiences very pleasant weather all throughout the year, but during the months from November to February the region becomes exceptionally pleasant.
A Jammu and Kashmir package for the months of April-May-June can let you enjoy the wonders of the region without having to go through the extremely cold times of the area. There are several Jammu and Kashmir packages that can be opted for during this time of the year. On the other hand, for certain destinations such as Gulmarg, Sonmarg, and so on, where the charm comes alive with the winter months, November to February would be the best time to plan your trip. Again, one can easily find the perfect Jammu and Kashmir package for the right time online.
Since Ladakh is remotely located, not many Jammu and Kashmir packages can take you there at all times during the year. The roads are blocked every winter with heavy snowfall and the entire valley loses its connection with the rest of the world. Once roads are cleared, Ladakh can be visited ideally from the end of March to the middle of August. There are several Jammu and Kashmir packages for this region, and the place must not be missed.

About Kashmir Travel
About Kashmir, THE INCOMPARABLE VALE OF KASHMIR ABOUT AN HOUR OUT OF DELHI, the airplane begins to climb and climb, and the jagged snow-topped peaks of the Himalayas ahead appear to bar entry to the other world. Then you are over the top, hovering above what seems to be a bowl of fluffy, whipped clouds that spill around the edges of the mountains, just a topping to the gentle valley of Kashmir.
This is a vast area only slightly smaller than Great Britain, surrounded by magnificent mountains, crammed so close it’s surprising there’s room for the many crystal lakes and cascades.
It’s filled with saffron-spangled meadows, fruit orchards, rice paddies, and cattle, and populated by peasants in rough clothing and merchants swaggering in blouses, pantaloons, and fur caps. Some of the women cover their faces from strangers, others flash bold smiles along with bright jewelry.
But not their land. Westerners took up residence on the water, building ornate houseboats unique to Kashmir today. People are always comparing Kashmir to some other place. If you set off believing it’s an earthly Eden of perfection and abundance for all, you’ll be disappointed. Kashmir is beautiful, but broken. All is calm now, but it has been the scene of open conflict several times since the 1947 Partition.
History Of Kashmir
Srinagar is only 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the Pakistan border. There was a civilization in Kashmir back in the eighth century and ruins extant at Martand attest to this. But it was Akbar, the 16th-century Mughal emperor, and his successors who established it as a resort. The town of Srinagar (pop. 585,000), at a height of 5200 feet above sea level, sprawls along the banks of a muddy river called the Jhelum, whose auto course necessitates nine bridges to bring the town together.
Many of the inhabitants live in battered houseboats or barges on the river itself, the majority cram into the box-like, unpainted homes that tumble one over another night up to the water’s edge. The Srinagar skyline is an endless fascination because of the occasional grass roofs and the variety of delicately carved and barn-like structures that mingle with the minarets and the bulbous towers that mark the mosques.

With travellers flocking to Swastik Holiday in the midst of summer to book Tour Package Kashmir at best rate, we're putting up a list of things to do duringTravel to Kashmirfor the adventurers among them.
Things To Do During Holiday To Kashmir
Gondola cable car.
Gulmarg's breath-taking beauty, pine-clad bowls, and lushness of blossoming blossoms make it a must-visit hill station in Kashmir. Gulmarg, which is accessible via the Gulmarg Gondola, is the country's top ski resort destination in the winter. The Apharwat summit is reached via the Gondola Cable Car, which travels a distance of 5 kilometres in the air. There are two parts to how it works. From Gulmarg to Kongdoor, the main stage takes you. It starts at 2,990 metres and climbs 400 metres vertically. It regularly transports 1500 people to a height of 3100 metres, from which a few modest ski runs are available. Stage 2 then adds the massive Himalayan Ranges to the picture, taking it to a higher depth than before. The Apharwat Mountain is reached after the link vehicle rises 1,330 vertical metres to a height of over 4,000 metres. It transports 600 people every hour.
The Gulmarg Golf Course, one of India's largest and most impressive 18-hole golf courses, is located on the lower reaches of Gulmarg. Did you know that golf began in this area around the mid-twentieth century? However, Omar Abdullah, the then-Chief Minister of Kashmir, installed the current construction, designed by Ranjit Nanda, an exceptional golf-course designer, in 2011. Gulmarg has steadily grown into one of the most popular places to visit in Gulmarg and a well-known golf destination in India. During the winter, the golf course is blanketed in a heavy covering of snow. From April through November, it is open.
Visit Khilanmarg
Khilanmarg, about 6 kilometres from the Gulmarg transit station, is a small heaven in the spring, covered in various colours of blossoms, and in the winter, it transforms into a skier's dream objective. From the skiing slants, the pinnacles are clearly visible, and they provide a fantastic foundation for the diversion. Similarly, the famous Nanga Parbat, which stands at 7100 metres, is close by and makes for a beautiful photo opportunity.
Chandanwari, on the outskirts of Pahalgam, is a popular tourist destination with significant religious importance. The Amarnath Yatra, an important pilgrimage held in the Hindu month of Sawan, was founded with this goal in mind. This area is a primary curiosity for people who wish to try sledding because it is provided with wonderful excellence. The geology of this small town is overshadowed by undulating sceneries and intermittent flora.
Zoji-La Pass
Zoji La, located high on the Indian National Highway 1D, is one of Kashmir's most densely forested, dangerous, and exhilarating mountain passes. It connects Srinagar and Leh, and it's one of those exciting traveller stops in Sonmarg that brings you closer to the Himalayas. A high mountain route, Zoji-La Pass, at an elevation of 3528 metres above sea level, runs through Kashmir valley and Ladakh, bringing them and their respective corners closer together. Certain sections of the pass, in particular, can be a risky ride; as a result, it's best to take this one with a prepared driver who's familiar to such steep and energetic twists and streets. During the winter, the pass is also closed from time to time. Must include this place in your Kashmir Tour Package.
Stay in houseboat
Living in the vivid, beautiful houseboats of Kashmir is one of the most perfect experiences in Srinagar. These lovely floating boats resemble (and are even smaller than) traditional inns and provide traditional experiences with cutting-edge comfort. You can recreate yourself in the chamber, and when you're unwell and need to relax, you can channel your energy into admiring the general splendour from the watercraft's balcony. On a boat, have a hot Kashmiri lunch while seated in a royal Kashmiri dining room. You'll undoubtedly return, and for a much longer period of time, to spend time with newfound friends in beautiful Srinagar.
Paragliding
The magnificent Pari Mahal, also known as The Palace of Fairies, is a seven-tiered garden perched on the crest of the Zabarwan mountain range, overlooking Srinagar. What better way to explore a city than by paragliding through it? Prepare yourself for the most enjoyable Kashmir tour you've ever had! The unusual flying perspective of the city will allow you to see the city's immaculate lakes and delightful gardens all at once, leaving you wanting more.
If travellers truly want to appreciate this sport, they should visit between May and June or September and October.
Shikara Ride
Apart from other lakes, the Shikhara is a traditional gondola-style light rowing boat that is usually found on the old Dal Lake. It is one of the most incredible and peaceful features of a stay in Kashmir, and it should be included in your schedule if you want to fully appreciate the region's grandeur. It is also regarded as a cultural symbol, alongside the houseboat. Shikhara is also used by residents for seaweed harvesting, fishing, and transportation, in addition to leisure and tourism. Seeing these boats on the lake, gorgeously decorated, is a sight to behold, and you should not miss it on your Kashmir Tours.

Kalpita arora (teacher).
Kashmir Trip
"I was always enthusiastic to plan a trip to Kashmir because personally I admired the place always, especially in Bollywood films. This time I did not miss the chance to pay a visit to Kashmir with the assistance of Swastik Holiday who have lent me a wonderfully customized Kashmir Tour Package. I got a chance to jump to activities like the shikara ride in Dal Lake, wake up to the lovely sunrises and sunset views at the Pari Mahal, followed by Aru and Doodhpathri Valleys. My personal favorites were Gulmarg and Sonmarg because they are infinitely beautiful for their flora life and manicured gardens. I have clicked plenty of images as I never got tired of capturing all the possible moments I have spent with my family, in Jammu and Kashmir. I must say the representative of Swastik Holiday has accompanied us almost everywhere and helped us in everything."
Gariyoshi Sinha (Business Owner)
Holiday to Kashmir
"The trip to Kashmir with my partner was beyond my expectations. I had never thought that this place would be 10 folds more beautiful than I expected. Once you are there, you feel in heaven on Earth. We had booked one of the customized travel packages for Kashmir, from Swastik Holiday, that included all the sightseeing ventures that we had planned. It was a 6-day trip where we loved and cherished each moment of our lives. We had a romantic date in a luxurious houseboat, to witness sunsets, in Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and the flower-rich Sonmarg. I was taken aback by the beauty of the Dal Lake on a Shikara ride, while my partner enjoyed all the water sports at Manasbal Lake’s Ganderbal. This is not the last time we are going to Kashmir and the next it would be Swastik Holiday to guide us, as they are always at our disposal for any of our needs."
Kamal Sharma (Business Owner)
Tour to Kashmir
"We are all busy corporate workers in our family, and it's been hard to plan 5 vacation days alone. That is the time when Swastik Holiday resolved it all at one consultation. They were so warm and easy, that we did not think twice before booking the best holiday package for Kashmir that had all inclusions from sightseeing transits, hotel booking, pick and drop from the airport, and so on. There were some places that my family loved traveling to namely, Shankaracharya hill Temple beside the pristine Gulmarg, along with the Anantnag Sulphur springs and Avantipur Runs. Moreover, I loved everything about the place and found the trip worth all the hustles and hassles in life. I want to thank Swastik Holiday that gave me a wonderful chance to explore the most awaited pony rides, and nature walks."
Mihir Tyagi (Manager)
Travel to Kashmir
"Kashmir is a dream come true! I am thankful to Swastik Holiday that has given me a chance to go on a solo trip to this amazing vacation getaway. Kashmir is an exotic location in North India where I had great trek expeditions, houseboat rides in Dal Lake, religious tours to Anantnag Sulpher Springs, Avantiswami, and Avantishwar Temples. I must surely speak about the cuisines of Kashmir, especially the non-vegetarian items that just have left the taste in my tongue. I cannot forget the natural abundance and the pristine population in Kashmir for the people are so simple, well-spoken and welcome with great hospitality.

There are some of the most sought-after places that are visited by tourists frequently while they are having a holiday in Kashmir.
Srinagar is the capital city of Jammu and Kashmir, which is situated on the bank of the river Jhelum. It is also popularly known as the summer capital that is surrounded by snow-capped Himalayan mountain ranges, the serene Dal lake, mountain views, beautiful gardens, and orchards. If you are fond of natural ecstasy and want a vacay away from the city hustles, then you can make a visit to this city that has Chashmashahi Gardens, Mughal Gardens, Nishat Gardens, and the Shalimar Garden followed by the most interesting activities like golfing, fishing, skiing, trekking, paragliding, river rafting, Kayaking, and camping.
Gulmarg, situated at an elevation of about 2650 metres is another admirable location that has the highest golf course in the world. The place is filled with a lot of flower species like, bluebells, buttercups, daisies, and forget me nots that give it the name Gulmarg, meaning meadow of flowers. The best time to discover the beauty of Gulmarg during the winter season is to participate in skiing.
Jammu is the southernmost region of Kashmir which is known popularly as the winter capital of the state. It is a great vacation spot if you have one of the most exclusively personalized Kashmir Travel Packages, then you can roam around the Shivalik mountain ranges, Trikuta hills, Pir Panjal Range, and the Tawi River Basin that will leave you awestruck. The most visited religious spot is the Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu that is easy to commute from any of the major cities via railways.
Also known as Little Tibet, Leh Ladakh is located amidst the Great Himalayas and Karakoram mountain range. You can enjoy by making beautiful memories with a tour package to Kashmir. Experience the splendid views of mountains, enchanting rivers, and a variety of interesting sports like Jeep Safari tours, Yak Safaris, Mountain climbing, Trekking, and Cycling.
Nubra Valley
If you are planning to pay a visit to Kashmir with your better half, then Nubra Valley is the ideal spot to spend some amazing time together. Surrounded by lush green valley, it is the perfect location for couples. It is known as the Valley of Flowers, and a home to a large number of fruits and grains that are cultivated alongsde Nubra and Shyak rivers.
Another destination that you should cover on your travel to Kashmir is Sonmarg. This place is covered with a blanket of snow and has beautiful flora life covered along the Sindh river. The best time to visit this place is during the summer months because the flowers bloom and grasslands appear greener during that time.
Zanskar is located amidst the coverage of Himalayan valley and Zanskar river, populated with Buddhist people. While you are there in Kashmir, you must visit this place for river rafting (in summers), and skiing during winters.

How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir – A COMPLETE Travel Guide
How to plan a trip to Kashmir? For this, there are a lot of factors that you will have to consider like how to reach, where to stay, what to see, things to do, what to pack, how much will it cost, itinerary planning, etc. All of these questions cannot be answered in a single post if you truly want it to be detailed.
I have visited Kashmir a few times and have written several detailed articles that can be of help to everyone planning a trip. This information is scattered in several posts and getting the details that you need can be a little time-consuming.
For the sake of convenience and ease of navigation, I am cataloging these articles in the post below. Follow the links, take a look at the articles and every question that you have about visiting Kashmir will surely get answered. You will find complete information about popular destinations like Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahalgam, Gurez, and Aharbal, as well as some offbeat destinations like Drung Waterfall, Chatpal Valley, Sinthan Top, Daksum, and several other places.
If there are still some doubts left, you can contact me on Instagram and I will be happy to help in any way that I can. I would greatly appreciate it if you could also consider subscribing to my YouTube channel .

Quick Navigation
Best Time to Visit Kashmir
When is the best time to visit Kashmir? There is actually no straight answer to this question because it will depend on what kind of trip you were looking forward to.
If you want to see snow, January and February are ideal times. If you want to see lush green views, September will be the best time. For a honeymoon trip, I will recommend April and September.
If you want to see flowers and the Tulip Garden, you should plan for April. If you want to see Apple orchards, August and September is the best time to go.
For photography, a trip in the post-monsoon season will be best. For budget travelers, August and November are good times to go.
This however is just a brief overview. For a more detailed and month-by-month breakdown of this information, please take a look at When is the Best Time to Visit Kashmir .
Mobile Network and Data Connectivity
BSNL has the widest network in Kashmir but Airtel is better in terms of the quality of the network. Jio works decently well but the services of Vodafone and Idea are not that great.
The important thing that you should know is that only postpaid connections work in the valley. Irrespective of which network you were on, your phone will be dead as soon as you enter Kashmir if it was a prepaid connection.
But if it was a postpaid phone, you would have good reception and data connectivity in tourist destinations like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Pahalgam. If you went a little offbeat, your phone may or may not work depending on the service provider.
I have covered this topic in great detail in another article Mobile Network and Data Connectivity in Kashmir that you can take a look at. I have given a region-wise breakdown of the network reception in this post.
Kashmir Trip Cost
How much will a Kashmir trip cost? This will depend on a lot of factors like the number of travelers, duration of the trip, mode of commute, personal preferences, etc. But with that being said, there is still an average per-person cost that can be calculated.
Take a look at this post – How to Calculate the Total Cost of Kashmir Trip . While I cannot give you the exact cost of the Kashmir trip, I can still give you an idea of how you can calculate your own Kashmir trip budget. That is the information that I covered in this article.
Using the numbers below, you will get a fairly good estimate of how much you will end up spending in the valley. These are some of the minimum expenditures that you will end up incurring for accommodation, taxi, food, shopping, etc.
Clothes to Pack for Kashmir Trip
The next important question will be related to your packing. The clothes that you need for visiting Kashmir will vary according to the season and month of your trip. It will also depend on the places you have in mind to visit and your mode of commute as well.
I will recommend taking a look at Clothes for Kashmir Trip – Things to Pack for Kashmir Trip for more information on this aspect. In this post, I have talked in detail about the kind of clothes that you should be packing for a trip to Kashmir in different seasons.
Places to Visit in Kashmir
Now let us take a look at the tourist destinations in Kashmir, places that you just cannot afford to miss. These are the destinations that will become the very highlight of your journey.
I am adding Srinagar first to the list because that is where you will have to go first. Srinagar will be your base to explore the beautiful valleys of Kashmir.
But is it just that? The answer is no. It is not just a base to explore Kashmir but rather a place that deserves to be explored, a place of both natural and man-made beauty.
Shah Jahan a long time ago aptly called Kashmir the paradise on earth, and Srinagar is the heart of that paradise. With its serene blue lakes and magnificent gardens ringed by an Arc of Majestic Himalayas, it is a picture-perfect town that looks straight out of a painting.
There is just so much to see here and so much to do. This I believe is the very reason that despite all the unrest and tensions, Srinagar continues to remain one of the most visited tourist destinations in our country.

Gulmarg in my opinion is the biggest tourist attraction in Kashmir. Known as the meadow of flowers, it is a heavenly place to tread in that offers mesmerizing landscapes and an enthralling possibility of various adventure activities.
Such is the beauty of this tiny hamlet that it attracts people from all over the country throughout the year. It is possibly one of those destinations where the tourist season never ends.
From families to adventure enthusiasts, Gulmarg has a lot to offer everyone. It not only draws tourists from other parts of the country but also is a favorite weekend getaway for the local Kashmiris as well.
Below is a list of articles that I have posted on Gulmarg. I will recommend taking a look at these before visiting this beautiful little town.

If you were planning a winter trip to Gulmarg, you may want to check out the video below. This was shot during one of my trips to Gulmarg in the month of January.
The next destination that you must visit during your Kashmir trip is Sonamarg. The place is easily accessible, remains open for most of the year, has plenty of hotels, offers amazing views, and is perfect for all kinds of trips.
Public transport is also easily available. There is a daily bus between Srinagar and Sonamarg. Other than that, shared cabs also travel on the route regularly.
For accommodation, there is a wide range of hotels to choose from, both for budget travelers as well as someone looking for a luxury stay. Read on to find out more.
Below is a list of articles that provide the information that you need to know in order to plan your trip.

If you were planning on visiting Sonamarg in the winter season, you can also take a look at the video below to get more details on the topic.
The name Pahalgam needs no introduction. It is one of the most visited destinations of Kashmir, one that receives tourists all year long. No trip to Kashmir is complete unless Pahalgam is a part of the itinerary.
Located at a distance of about 100 kilometers from Srinagar, Pahalgam is best known for its awe-inspiring vistas, lush green meadows, dense forests, and pristine waters. The place is also noted for the annual pilgrimage to the shrine Amarnath Yatra that starts here in July and August.
In the articles below, I have talked about how a trip to Pahalgam can be planned, places you should visit there, accommodation, public transport, and several other useful tips.
- Pahalgam – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary
- What to see in Pahalgam – Sightseeing in Pahalgam
- Best Time to Visit Pahalgam – When to go to Pahalgam
But in my opinion, the actual fun of visiting Pahalgam is in the winter season. This is when the natural beauty of this place is at its best. Take a look at the video below to know what I am talking about.
Drung Waterfall
Drung Waterfall, also known as Drang Waterfall or Durung Waterfall, is a destination that must find a place in your itinerary if you are planning a winter trip to Kashmir. It may not be that large in size but the sight that it presents in the winter season is truly majestic and is sure to charm you off your feet.
As the temperature in the valley drops, the water of this fall starts to freeze. By early January, the entire face of the mountain that it falls from is covered by a thick layer of ice. The water still continues to flow down but is surrounded by huge icicles and snow.
The waterfall is located about 42 kilometers from Srinagar and 16 kilometers from Gulmarg. It remains accessible for all 12 months and can easily be included in your trip to Gulmarg. You can visit Drung at any time of the year but it is in the winter season when the waterfall is truly at its best.
For more details on this one of its kind waterfall, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Drung Waterfall and What to See . You can also take a look at the video below for more details.
Gurez Valley
Gurez Valley is one of the least explored regions of Kashmir and the one that can truly be called an offbeat destination. It is a place of high scenic beauty that does not really get the attention that it truly deserves. The vistas and the natural beauty of the mountains that you see here are very different than what you will see elsewhere.
Usually, when you talk about visiting Kashmir, it is mostly 4 places that come to mind – Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Pahalgam. Even Srinagar just acts as a base to explore the other three places.
But Kashmir is so much more. There are so many other places here that will leave you mesmerized if visited. Gurez is one such destination that I will highly recommend that you find a place for in your travel plans.
How you can plan your trip to Gurez are details that I have covered in the posts below.
- Gurez Valley – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary
- Places to Visit in Gurez Valley and Things to Do
- Best time to Visit Gurez Valley – Month, Season, Snow, Road
- Habba Khatoon Peak Gurez – The Legend of Habba Khatoon
- Razdan Pass Gurez, Kashmir – Sightseeing & Trip Planning
Let us now take a look at some offbeat destinations that do not find a place in everyone’s itinerary but are definitely worth visiting.
Yusmarg is located at a distance of about 50 kilometers from Srinagar in the Badgam district of Kashmir. At an altitude of 2,396 meters (7,861 ft), it is an alpine valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains and meadows of Pine and Fir.
It is one of those places in Kashmir that are immensely beautiful but do not get the attention that they rightfully deserve. But for someone wanting to go offbeat and stay away from the crowd, Yousmarg is perfect.
For more details on this destination, please take a look at Yusmarg – A Comprehensive Travel Guide & Itinerary .
Doodhpathri
Doodhpathri is a small hill station in Kashmir. It lies in a bowl-shaped alpine valley surrounded by snow-clad mountains and meadows of Pine Fir and Deodar. It sits at an altitude of 2,730 meters (8,957 ft) above sea level and receives heavy snowfall in the winter season.
The region does not have all-year road connectivity yet and in the months of peak winter, it can get very difficult to reach here. For the rest of the year though, a trip to Doodhpathri can actually be made in less than half a day.
To be honest, it is not yet a hill station as there is little to no development in the region. What you see is nature in its raw form. There are just a few houses of the local shepherds and that is the only sign of civilization that you will see here.
The area is largely unexplored and receives very little tourism. However, efforts are being made by the authorities to develop it as a tourist destination. JKTDC has also built a resort here for tourists who want to stay overnight. You can take a look at Doodhpathri – A COMPLETE Travel Guide & Itinerary to find out more.
Mughal Road
Not many people would know about the Mughal Road. Srinagar Jammu National Highway, also known as NH44, is often considered to be the only road connecting the cities of Jammu and Srinagar.
It is true that it is indeed a better maintained, wider, more traveled upon, and shorter way to travel between the two places but it is definitely not the only one.
There actually exists another route that is far more scenic, less crowded, takes you through some internal parts of Kashmir, and has existed for far longer than the regular NH44 highway. Yes, I am talking about the historical Mughal road.
This route is the alternate way to travel between Jammu and Srinagar and to reach some internal areas of Kashmir like the town of Rajouri. It is also a very scenic route that definitely deserves to be explored.
For more details on Mughal Road, you can take a look at the posts below.
- Mughal Road – Route Detail, Sightseeing, Best Time
- Peer ki Gali, Mughal Road – Trip Planning & Sightseeing
Aharbal Waterfall
Aharbal Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Kashmir. It is also the most easily accessible one and yet never crowded. Located at a distance of only about 70 kilometers from Srinagar, it is a place that is amazingly beautiful but does not get the attention that it truly deserves.
If you are planning to visit Kashmir, I highly recommend that you find a day in your itinerary for a visit to Aharbal. How can you plan that is what I have talked about in the article below.
- Aharbal Waterfall – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary
Can you visit Aharbal Waterfall in the winter season? It will depend a lot on the weather at the time of your trip but yes, a trip can be planned. Take a look at this short video below to see how this beautiful waterfall looks in winter.
Daksum Valley
Daksum, also known as Daksum Valley or Daksum Village, is a viewpoint or a picnic spot located on the Anantnag-Kishtwar road near Sinthan Top. Surrounded by lush green mountains and sitting right next to the Bringhi River, it is a popular spot among the locals for family outings and school picnics.
If you are someone who likes spending time in nature, away from the crowd in an offbeat place, Daksum may just be your cup of tea. It really feels like in the middle of nowhere and if you were here during the weekdays, there would hardly be anyone around. For more details, please read How to Plan a Trip to Daksum Valley .
Sinthan Top
Sinthan Top, also known as Sinthan Pass, is a mountain pass located in Kashmir’s Breng Valley, on the road that runs between Anantnag in Kashmir and Kishtwar in Jammu. At an altitude of 12,500 ft, the top of the pass is also known as the 360-degree viewpoint as it offers a charming panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and the valley.
It is a beautiful mountain pass that should find a place in every tourist’s itinerary who is coming toward Pahalgam. Due to its close proximity, Sinthan Top can be easily incorporated with a trip to Pahalgam. The drive from Srinagar to Sinthan Top through the Daksum Valley is also quite scenic and offers a chance to visit some other destinations like Achabal Gardens, Kokernag, and Daksum.
For more details, please read How to Plan a Trip to Sinthan Top and take a look at the video below. This video covers both Daksum Valley as well as Sinthan Top because both these places are right next to each other.
Chatpal Valley
Chatpal, also called Chattabal, is not really a name that many tourists know about. It is a small valley located near Pahalgam but while Pahalgam receives thousands of visitors each year, almost no one goes in the direction of Chatpal. It is one of those places in Kashmir that are still unexplored and yet to find their place on the tourist map.
The majority of the folks you will find in Chatpal will just be the locals from Anantnag or any of the nearby villages, out there for a picnic or a family outing. Even they visit Chattabal usually over the weekends, on Sundays. For the rest of the week, you will hardly see anyone there.
If you are someone who likes to go to offbeat places, away from the crowd, and spend some time in peace, then Chattabal will surely look charming to you. For more details, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Chatpal Valley and check out the video below.
Public Transport in Kashmir
The best way to travel to Kashmir is either by your self-owned vehicle or a private taxi. But if you are a budget traveler, you can also opt for public transport which is available in the form of buses and shared taxis. The problem however is that it is not frequent.
It will be hard to find a JKSRTC bus anywhere in Kashmir. You will have to rely on mini-buses and shared cabs operated by the locals. They do not have a set schedule or timetable but are available throughout the day.
For more details on this topic, please take a look at How to Travel in Kashmir by Buses & Shared Cabs . In this post, I have provided complete details on how you can commute from Srinagar to other places by public transport.
If you are planning on renting a taxi for your trip, the posts below can help you get a cost estimate. An important thing that you should remember is that places like Pahalgam and Gulmarg have their own taxi rates.
What it means is that if you rented a taxi to Pahalgam from Srinagar, it could only drop you in Pahalgam. To visit local places like Betaab Valley, Chandanwari, and Aru Valley, you will have to rent a local cab in Pahalgam.
The same rule applies to Gulmarg. If you want to go for a drive to Bota Pathri, you will have to rent another cab in Gulmarg for that.
Similarly, this rule is also applicable if you intend to move on to Kargil, Zanskar Valley, or Ladakh after exploring Kashmir. Take a look at the posts below to find out taxi rates applicable for these particular regions.
- Srinagar Taxi Rates
- Pahalgam Taxi Rates
- Sonamarg Taxi Rates
- Gulmarg Taxi Rates
- Kargil Taxi Rates
- Ladakh Taxi Rates
Renting a Bike
Renting a bike in Srinagar is a great way to explore for people who reach Kashmir by flight. There are a few bike rentals in the city which you can get the bikes from.
Please take a look at How to Rent a Bike in Srinagar and Srinagar Bike Rental Rates . From both of these posts, you can get to know the procedure and the cost involved.
Self-Drive Rental
If you would however like to rent a car in Srinagar and drive it around on your own, that is also an option. Please take a look at How to Rent a Self-Drive Car in Srinagar for more details.
Itinerary Planning
Your final itinerary for Kashmir will entirely depend on the number of days you have in hand, your budget, and your preferences. But I will recommend taking a look at How to Plan Your Itinerary for Kashmir .
In this post, I have shared different examples of itineraries based on the time at hand. You can pick any one of the suggested itineraries and either follow it completely or modify it as per your requirements.
Food to Try in Kashmir
Your trip to not just Kashmir but any place is incomplete unless you have tasted the local cuisine. That in my opinion is actually one of the best parts of traveling to different places.
The mouth-watering local food to try in Kashmir is an experience that you just cannot miss. Below is a comprehensive list of what to eat and where.
A common question that gets asked most often is about vegetarian food and its availability. You do not have to worry about that as well.
There are a lot of places all over Kashmir where they only serve vegetarian, even Jain food as well. So finding a place to eat will not actually be a problem.
The posts below provide more information on the food that you should try in Kashmir and where.

Hello Mr. VARGIS, Refer aforesaid views, I am writing to you for your guidance and suggest good contact number for the entire Kashmir tour Myself and wife both are senior citizens , we are intend to visit Kashmir in the month of April 24 for 9 nights/10 days.
Sir you can talk to Faisal @ 907 000 0036
Hello, Vergis sir, Shall I visit the gurez valley after mid november?
Hello vargas.khan,I want ti travel kashmir after15th November. May I get snow fall at any place ?
Not in November Bhai, not int the lower areas
Hello Do we need to change taxi at tangmarg while going to hotel stay at gulmarg in March? Or we can take taxi hired for 5 days to at least hotel in gulmarg?
You can take a taxi for 5 days but if you are planning a trip in winter, then you will have to change at Tangmarg. For rest of the year, it can be the same cab.
Hello Vargis bhai, Thanks a lot for detailed information, Extremely helpful to people like us to build DIY travel plan.
I am considering trip to Kashmir from Oct 14 to 24, Mainly Srinagar, Gurez, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, , is this good time to visit Kashmir and all these places i want to cover.
I am planning below itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive Srinagar Day 2: Srinagar Local Day 3: Sringar Gurez Day 4: Gurez Day 5: Gurez to Gulmarg Day 6: Gulmarg to Pahalgam Day 7: Pahalgam Day 8: Pahalgam Day 9: Pahalgam to Sringar and flyout
Please let me know your thoughts if i should make any adjustment to above plan.
This is a good plan Sachin Bhai. I am assuming that you are going to book a taxi for the trip?
Yep, thanks for your feedback , Yep I plan to book taxi for entire trip, few questions.
1) Is Toyoto Etiros/Dzire is good for Gurez trip of you need to have Innova /Scorpio ? Do you know if Razdan pass would be open during October or there is chance of closure ?
2) I changed my plan a bit to skip Gulmarg as I am not interested in doing Gondola, so is there anything else interesting to do there, I assume As i am covering Doodthpatri from Srinagar, the scenary would be similar., what is your suggestion ?
3) what is your opinion on doing Day trip to Yusmarg vs Doodhpatri, from Srinagar ?, doing both on one day could be hectic right ? which one I should do Yusmarg or Doodhpatri ?
Here is my final plan with and without gulmarg as below, let me know your suggestion.
Itinerary 1: without Gulmarg Day 1: Arrive Sringar and go to Pahalgam Dah 2: Pahalgam Local Day 3: Pahalgam Local Day 4: Pahalgam to Gurez Day 5: Gurez Local Day 6: Gurez to Srinagar Day 7: Sringar local Day 8: Srinagar Doodhpatri Day 9: Srinagar Flyout in evening
Itinerary 2: with Gulmarg Day 1: Arrive Sringar and go to Pahalgam Dah 2: Pahalgam Local Day 3: Pahalgam to Gulmarg Day 4: Gulmarg to Gurez Day 5: Gurez Local Day 6: Gurez to Srinagar Day 7: Srinagar Local Day 8: Srinagar DoodthPatri Day 9: Srinagar local and Flyout.
1. Razdan Pass usually remains open in Oct. Scorpio / Innova will be better but it depends on the number of people traveling 2. Yeah, the scenery is more or less similar 3. Same on one day will be hectic. Doodhpathri is better
If the taxi driver is agreeing, the second plan would be better
Thanks a lot for your Feedback Vargisbhai ! Yes we are 3 people so I assume Dzire or Etios should be good enough to cover Dawar – Chakwali route, right ?
For Chakwali route, you will have to hire a Sumo from Dawar. The drivers from Srinagar usually refuse to go on that route due to extremely bad roads. A hatchback or a Sedan driver will definitely not go
Special thanks Verghis Bhai for so detailed information on helping out Persons planning Kashmir trip. Me and my wife both early 69s are planning for Kashmir trip for 5 days 4 night somewhere in May next year. Can u suggest suitable itenerary for above and some insight that how should I plan for private taxi. Thanks
This is the most genuine blog I have come across while planning my trip to Kashmir. This covers everything in great detail. Thank you Vargis for all that work and I assure you this helps us travelers very much.
Thank you Akash Bhai for your kind words !!!
Hi, I am Saikat, I got guidance from you for my ladakh tour and it’s really help me a lot for that thank you. Now I plan to cover Kashmir and again I read your blog it will help us to cover. Now I want a reference of a good and reliable tour operator for Kashmir tour.
Take a look at the contact me page Saikat … I have mentioned a few numbers there
I would be glad if you please let me know at the earliest about Local Sight Seeing in and around Srinagar and Sonmarg, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Yousmarg, Dudhpathri, etc., during my ensuing visit to Srinagar from 10th to 16th June 2023. I am a SOLO Sr. Citizen.
Thank you so much Mr. Vargis for your details, Want to choose one destination among Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gulmarg, please advise.
Hi Sangita – Gulmarg is better among all three of them but also crowded. If not Gulmarg then Doodhpathri
Dear All, This is the review about Kashmironline. We booked on a package in this summer for a family through them, but the hotel which they have opted in Srinagar was not good. No power to stay, no water and no hot water as well. We have to ask for all service every now and then. But upfront the agency collects the payment. Also, they never respond. The reason for booking through a travel agent is that we will not have issues and it will be a safe travel, but here its very bad, there will be a response saying that they will do, but nothing will happen. Remember people travelling to Srinagar / Kashmir make sure you are clear on package, would recommend to make arrangements on your own. Do not depend on any travel agents. Specially Kashmironline at all. They are not friendly and held me in a hotel to pay the final amount. Never trust on any customer and they do not need any customer satisfaction. I have informed very clearly the balance 7-8% (Approx 9000) of amount will be paid on last day of my travel in morning, irrespective of telling and informing the same, they holded in the hotel in the lobby asking for balance payment two days prior itself. The agency called up the hotel informed that before I leave collect the balance money. That looks very bad in front of others asking for money as if am going to move away without paying from them. My only question is if you guys or agency never trust on customer, how do you expect the customer to trust you. If something goes wrong, you will never revert back right. Now, I had a bad and worst stay in Srinagar, they never responded to me anything about that at all. The kashmironline person was apologizing but nothing happened. The issues repeated thrice for all 3 days of stay, our stay was ruined. We went for sight-seeing late for all 3 days and we are not provided with basic necessity of things to stay. Irrespective of informing that Iam not comfortable on the first day itself. Please be aware of these things in Kashmir. Never book though kashmironline at all. They never bother about any feedback or comfortable stay of customer. Only money is important. The driver they organized doesn’t even have a courtesy and he dropped us the railway station by 9pm and have requested him to take me to 5km nearby for dinner which he denied. He never answered any calls after dropping us. Irrespective of informing that we need to have dinner before dropping us, he never bothered that Iam with 2 kids without food travelling for whole night. He was keen on moving away since the money is fully paid a day prior. Important is he knows entire story of this issue. They never change and felt bad for booking with them. Entire trip is ruined and I have give other hint to save other atleast, not to get cheated. Since no one save me.. kashmironline These details are from my recent personal experience during the month of May 2023.
With Regards, Balasubramaniam.
Thank you Bala Bhai for sharing your experience. Most of these online travel platforms are more or less the same. They act as mediators only. I always tell people to not go with any online travel platform.
Hello Vargis Thank you so much for your details, Want to choose one destination among Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gulmarg, please advise.
Hi Vargis, Thank you for your sharing and your article very details. If you don’t mind please suggest best travel agent in Kashmir who can arrange. We plan our trip on December 2023.. tq
Hello. Thanks for the details. I am planning Gulmarg directly from the airport (2 nights) , then Sonmarg (2 nights), then Pahalgam (3 nights) and then Srinagar (2 nights). Is that itinerary okay ? Are these places equidistant
2 and 3 days is a bit much. Gulmarg 1 day, Sonamarg 1 day and Pahalgam 1 night should be more than enough. You can spend rest of your time visiting other places.
Vargis Ji, we are not getting tickets for Gondola Ride. what would be other options?
No other option bhai. You can check at the counter if anyone is selling in black
Hi I am visiting from may 1 to 6 ., this is my first trip to kashmir solo, will travelling to Kargil from Srinagar for 2 days be good ..?
That road is not open yet. There is no telling if it will open by May 1
What a great Blog. Covers almost everything. The best part is that it is not commercial blogs, which generally have an interest in the places they mention. You have written in simple language and from your first-hand experience. I am a Sr. Citizen and also handicapped. I use an artificial limb, but mobility is not an issue (maybe rocky climbing and snow/water). I do travel a lot. My question is: Will you recommend Gondola Phase I and II? My Travel Agent has custom-built an Itinerary for my wife and me using taxis only for the 2 of us. I was told that there is a Union issue and private taxis are not allowed in Gulmarg and Pahalgam and I will have to book local taxis there.
Please advise keeping my handicap in mind. Thanks.
I intend to travel in mid-September.
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. D’Souza.
If you are going to stay in Gulmarg overnight, then yes, I will recommend the Gondola ride. If you are just planning a day trip, it will be best to skip it.
You do not need to rent another taxi in Gulmarg for sightseeing. They may ask to take you to Bota Pathri by renting another cab but avoid that. There is nothing there. All the other places in Gulmarg are near the market area. No additional taxi is needed.
Yes, you will have to rent another taxi in Pahalgam for local sightseeing. Srinagar taxi will not be allowed there.
Hello Vargis, your blogs are awesome, provides complete details one need to plan themselves. Great work! I’m confused in choosing one between yusmarg and doodhpathiri. If i have to select one of these, which one should it be? TIA
Hello Priya Ji – Thank you for your kind words. Both of the places are equally beautiful but if I have to pick one, I will go to Doodhpathri.
Such a detailed article!!! Thanks for sharing
There are so many very well known and most liked temples in Kashmir I didn’t find any mention of these temples and places in your article is there any particular reason or you missed it In case you need any help to draw your attention towards those places I can do that
Pran Bhai Most of these temples are located in the old Srinagar town and I never had the chance to visit there until recently. I do not put any information on the blog until I have been to that place. Please see this post. I did visit the temples and highlighted them
https://vargiskhan.com/log/srinagar-old-city-tour/
If you have information on these temples, please do let me know and I will update. The two that I have been to is the Mangaleshwar Mahadev temple and the Ganesh Ji temple in Ganpatyar. I know there are a lot many others and I plan on visiting them during my next trip so that I can write a post about the temples in Srinagar.
Khan Sir, We are 03 couples (65 years age )planning for Kashmir for 7 Night trip. 1n Gulmarg, 2 N Pahelgam,4N Srinagar. Will see sonmarg,Dooghpatri & all places in srinagar. Pl. suggest best travel agent in srinagar who can arrange . Our travel month is third week of March 2023. Thanks & regards, Pinakin Desai mob:7600227499
Hi Vargis, your blogs are just out of this world. You can start publishing “Vargis Planet”
I have a mobility issue. Though I drive but I walk with crutches and small distances only. I followed your blog on Prashar Lake and you had clarified all my concerns so well that I drove upto the last possible point without any issue and then a little walk to the point from where the lake is visible. Though I didn’t trek down to the lake and temple. That was little too much for me.
Anyway, I am now planning to drive to Kashmir in Sept 1st week and plan to spend 3 days each at Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg. I wanted to ask you how long is the walks at various gardens in Srinagar. I also plan to do Doodhpatri, Yousmarg and Achabal.
Is there too much to walk in Phase 1 and 2 of Gandola, also Sonmarg, Kokernag, Daksum areas? I will be thankful if you can reply to me and help me plan better.
Hi Swati – Sorry I had been traveling myself for the last couple of months and did not see your comment until now. Sorry for the late reply. I guess you are already in Kashmir by now.
