Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a separate local taxi at Pahalgam?

Vehicles from Srinagar are not permitted beyond Pahalgam town. Travel to Betaab Valley, Aru Valley and Chandanwari must use local union taxis, which are charged locally and are not part of any package transfer.

How reliable is snow at Gulmarg?

Reliable from roughly late December through February. November and early December are a gamble. If snow is the entire reason for the trip, January and February are the safest months.

Can vegetarian and Jain meals be arranged?

Yes, but it needs confirming with hotels in advance. Options are good in Srinagar and thin out considerably at Gulmarg and Pahalgam, where hotel kitchens are the only realistic source.

How much does a Kashmir trip cost?

It depends on hotel category, season and group size, which is why a single figure is misleading. Ask for a costed itinerary for your specific dates rather than working from an advertised starting price.

When does the Tulip Garden open?

Typically for a few weeks in April, though the exact window shifts each year with the weather. Booking a trip specifically around the bloom is risky unless you can keep the dates flexible.

What is the best way to reach Srinagar?

By air to Srinagar (SXR). Delhi has the widest frequency and most cities connect through it. The rail alternative is to Jammu Tawi followed by roughly 260 km by road, which adds a full day each way.

Planning from Delhi?

We quote real return airfare bands by season — not a generic 'flights extra' line.
