Frequently asked questions

Can I wear jeans in Kashmir?

Yes. Kashmir is relaxed about what visitors wear and jeans are completely normal. Modest dress is appreciated at religious sites such as Hazratbal and Charar-i-Sharief — covered shoulders and knees, and a scarf for women at shrines. In winter, jeans alone are not enough at Gulmarg; you want thermals underneath and waterproof outer layers.

How do you reach Kashmir most easily?

By air to Srinagar (SXR). Delhi has the widest frequency and most cities connect through it — 85 minutes from Delhi, about 2h 45m from Mumbai when the seasonal direct is running. The rail alternative reaches Jammu Tawi, from where it is roughly 260 km by road to Srinagar, adding the better part of a day each way.

How do you visit Kashmir by train?

Trains have long terminated at Jammu Tawi, from where Srinagar is about 260 km by road through the mountains — budget most of a day for that leg. The Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla line has since extended rail towards the valley itself. Services on the newer sections have changed more than once, so check IRCTC for what is actually running on your dates rather than relying on any website, including this one.

Is it safe to travel to Kashmir right now?

No website should be your source for this, including ours — conditions change and a page written months ago cannot tell you about today. Check your own government travel advisory, and the Jammu & Kashmir administration for local notices, before you book. What we can tell you is what we see on the ground: we are based in Srinagar, and if we think your dates are unwise we will say so rather than take the booking.

What is not included in a typical Kashmir package?

Most packages exclude return airfare, Gulmarg gondola tickets, local union taxis at Pahalgam and Sonamarg, pony rides, and entry tickets at ticketed gardens. Union taxi charges in particular surprise people, because they are compulsory and separate from your package vehicle.

When are Kashmir packages cheapest?

March, early April, and November — shoulder months with usable weather and low occupancy. The most expensive weeks are the Christmas–New Year window and the June school holidays.
