10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Kashmir That You Shouldn't Miss

September 23, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

The valley of Kashmir is as rich with history and political controversy as it is with culture and natural phenomena. Sample exquisitely spiced native cuisines and festive teas, then walk off your meal along the rugged trekking routes to the north. Marvel at the famous houseboats of Srinagar and take a spiritual moment to reflect at one of the many pilgrimage sites and religious shrines that dot the region. Of course, native craftsmanship makes for excellent souvenirs—carpets and textiles are an especial shopping must.

Ardhkuwari Mata Gufa

Reviewed By Bhaskar_10 - New Delhi, India

Had Darshan on 5/1/2020 On our trek to Maa Vaishno Davi we registered at Ardhkuwari Maa and on return from Bhawan the group number was still far off but due to less number of pilgrims in the current batch we were allowed and had a great darshan. The average wait for darshan is about 3-4hrs. after your group number is called. the group wait can be more than a day so it is better to take the tickets from the pilgrims who could not get darshan due to time or make the group registration on the onward journey and then do the darshan on return. Also the gufa mandir is closed for darshan in morning and evening from 4 - 7.30 during aarti. So please plan your travel accordingly. Jai Mata Di

I went to Hari Parbat. The majestic mountain overlooking the city of Srinagar is called Hari Parbat. Besides the famous Hari Parbat fort, the mountain also has various shrines dedicated to several deities, the most prominent of which is Sharika Devi Temple enshrined by Goddess Jagadamba Sharika Bhagwati. It is great place to go.

We enjoyed a lot there. Chandanwari would give you a chance to play with the snow. It is beautiful place with Lidder River flowing very closely. At this place, there was snow and jackets and boots are available on rentals. This is the gateway of Amarnath yatra. Best time to visit this place is from March to April.
