Srinagar is famous for its Dal Lake, Shikara rides, and Mughal gardens. Explore the beautiful floating markets and visit Hazratbal Shrine and Shankaracharya Temple.
Known as India’s premier skiing destination, Gulmarg offers thrilling snow activities like skiing, snowboarding, and the Gulmarg Gondola ride, one of the world’s highest cable cars.
Pahalgam is perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Enjoy river rafting at Lidder River, trek to Aru Valley and Betaab Valley, or just soak in the stunning scenery.
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 can be extremely cold, especially during winter months. Expect daytime temperatures around 5°C to 15°C, while nights can dip to -10°C. Snowfall is common, especially in Gulmarg.
What to Pack:
✅ Thermal wear
✅ Heavy waterproof jackets
✅ Woolen caps, gloves, and socks
✅ Comfortable waterproof shoes
Also, keep in mind that heaters in rooms may not always be effective in extreme cold. Be prepared to layer up and stay cozy!
Kashmir’s mountain roads can be challenging, especially during snowfall. Traffic jams are common, and a 30-40 km journey can sometimes take hours.
What to Expect:
✅ Roads can become slippery and dangerous during snow.
✅ Delays are common due to roadblocks and snow-clearing operations.
✅ Always carry snacks and water for long drives.
Staying in Kashmiri cottages and houseboats is an amazing experience, but there are a few challenges to be prepared for:
Power Blankers & Hot Water:
✅ Blankets take time to warm up.
✅ Geyser water may take longer to heat.
✅ Power cuts can happen during heavy snow, though most hotels have backup generators.
Tips:
✅ Carry a power bank.
✅ Keep your devices charged.
✅ Layer up to stay warm without relying solely on heaters.
Kashmir offers various adventure activities like skiing, snowboarding, Shikara rides, and trekking. These activities are optional and weather-dependent.
You can select your activities through our team for a hassle-free experience.
