Frequently asked questions

What should I pack for Kashmir in winter?

Layers rather than one heavy coat, waterproof footwear with grip, gloves and a hat. Snow boots can be hired at Gulmarg, which is usually more sensible than carrying them.

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 happens if snow closes the road to Gulmarg?

A well-run itinerary is rearranged rather than cancelled — usually by swapping the Gulmarg day for a Srinagar gardens day and retrying later in the trip. Ask how this is handled before you book.

Are flights included in package prices?

Usually not in the base price. Airfare to Srinagar varies widely by season and origin city, so it is normally quoted separately once dates are fixed.

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.

Do I need travel insurance for Kashmir?

Recommended, particularly in winter when flight cancellations are common and road closures can extend a trip by a day or more.
