Kashmir is open from Delhi now.
Yes, the road journey is long … really long. But here’s the twist… it’s also one of those classic travel experiences people remember for years.

If you want to skip the tiring part and save your energy for snow, views, and cozy moments, fly straight to Srinagar. It’s the smoothest way to start your vacation.

But
if you’re someone who enjoys chai breaks on highways, Jammu, the slow entry into the mountains, the first glimpse of snow as you cross the valley —
then the road to Kashmir hits differently.

From luxury houseboats and snow-covered valleys to the warm smiles of locals, every moment here feels cinematic.
Stay cozy in heated 4-star comfort and soak in the beauty that defines Paradise on Earth.

🏞️ About the Places:

🏔️ Srinagar

Srinagar is famous for its Dal LakeShikara rides, and Mughal gardens. Explore the beautiful floating markets and visit Hazratbal Shrine and Shankaracharya Temple.

🎿 Gulmarg: The Winter Wonderland

Gulmarg in monsoon transforms into a lush green paradise with misty meadows, blooming flowers, and pine forests. Enjoy scenic Gondola rides, peaceful nature walks, and pony rides amidst cool, refreshing weather. It’s a serene escape offering breathtaking views and a completely different charm from its winter counterpart.

🌲 Pahalgam – The Valley of Shepherds

Pahalgam, often called the Valley of Shepherds, is a serene town located in the Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir, about 90 km (2–3 hrs) from Srinagar. Nestled at an altitude of around 2,200 meters along the Lidder River, it is surrounded by dense pine forests, snow-clad peaks, and lush meadows.

❄️ Sonamarg: The Meadow of Gold

Located at an altitude of 9,000 ft, Sonamarg is known for its picturesque landscapes and Thajiwas Glacier. It’s a must-visit for trekkers and adventure enthusiasts.


🏔️ Kashmir Trip Guide: What You Need to Know Before You Go
❄️ Temperatures: Prepare for the Freeze

Kashmir in winter transforms into a snowy wonderland. From late December, temperatures drop sharply—daytime stays around 10°C to 20°C, while nights can fall to 5°C or lower.

What to Pack:
✅ Heavy thermals & layered winter wear
✅ Thick woolen sweaters & jackets
✅ Gloves, muffler & woolen cap
✅ Waterproof snow boots (with good grip)
✅ Socks (carry extra pairs)
✅ Moisturizer & lip balm (to beat dryness)
✅ Power bank & torch
✅ Personal medication & winter protection for bags


🚦 Traffic Conditions: Patience is Key.

Kashmir’s mountain roads during winter can get slow and unpredictable because of snow and ice. Even short distances may take hours to cover.

What to Expect:
✅ Roads may be slippery due to snow or black ice
✅ Occasional delays from road closures or snow clearance
✅ Always carry snacks, water, and warm clothing for long drives


🏠 Stays: A Cozy Experience with Some Hiccups

Kashmiri cottages and houseboats in winter feel magical, but freezing temperatures can bring small challenges.

Power & Hot Water:
✅ Geysers may take longer to heat in sub-zero temps
✅ Power cuts are common in winter
✅ Rooms may still feel cold even with heaters

Tips:
✅ Carry a power bank & keep devices charged
✅ Pack extra woolens, socks & gloves for nights
✅ Keep a thermos flask for storing hot water
✅ Use moisturizer & lip balm to fight dryness


🎯 Activities: Optional and Magical.

Kashmir in winter turns into a playground of snow. You can try skiing, sledging, cable car rides (Gulmarg Gondola), snow treks, or simply walk through snow-covered meadows. All activities are optional and depend on weather conditions.

👉 Our Advice:
✅ Pick from the options shared by our team for best prices & smooth coordination
✅ Enjoy activities at your own pace, whether it’s skiing thrills or cozy snow walks, it’s all about fun.


✅ Final Verdict: Be Prepared for a Unique Winter Experience.

Kashmir in winter is magical, serene, and adventurous, but it demands extra preparedness and flexibility. Here’s what to keep in mind:

✅ Pack heavy winter wear & snow essentials
✅ Be patient with roadblocks or delays due to snow
✅ Expect power cuts and limited hot water in some stays
✅ Choose snow activities through HTC’s trusted vendors for safe, smooth fun

Come with warmth in your heart, layers in your bag, and an open mind—your Kashmir winter trip will be nothing short of unforgettable. ❄️🏔️✨

VERY IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

For all long-distance travel, we book private AC semi-sleeper buses based on reliability and our past experience with the operator. That said, buses are machines. Delays or breakdowns can happen, and these situations are beyond HTC’s control.

If a breakdown occurs, any refund issued by the bus operator will be passed on to you only after HTC receives it from them.

To be very clear:
HTC will not bear any additional expenses arising due to delays or breakdowns — including alternate transport, taxis, hotels, food, or personal arrangements. Any such costs, if they arise, must be handled directly by the participants.

We don’t believe in fancy promises or sugar-coating realities.
Transparency upfront is always better than disappointment later.
