For lush green views, visit in September. For snow, January and February are ideal. April is perfect for seeing tulips in bloom.
Book your accommodation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. Consider staying in houseboats on Dal Lake.
Rent a vehicle for the duration of your trip to make internal travel smooth and seamless.
Carry warm clothing, especially if visiting in winter. Don’t forget necessary medications and consult your doctor if you have health concerns.
Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Respect local customs and traditions to ensure a pleasant experience.
Only postpaid connections work in Kashmir. BSNL has the widest network, but Airtel offers better quality. Jio works decently well.
Be prepared for occasional roadblocks or disruptions due to political situations. Always stay updated on local news and advisories.
Don’t miss iconic spots like Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahalgam, and Dal Lake.
