Top Things to do in Kashmir
The 10 Best Things to do in Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir
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.

Trek up, take the helicopter and trek remainder distance - in any case this will be a once in a lifetime, arduous journey. Feel accomplished at the end of it. The cave itself and the ice linga is unique and mesmerizing. Trek can be cold, slippery (melted snow, frozen ice, narrow two-way path shared by humans and ponies.

Anyone planning a trip to Srinagar has to opt for a shikara ride to enjoy the beautiful dal lake. Though you can go shikara ride anytime, Best time to visit is in late afternoon as u can see snow clad mountains ,experience cool breeze and slowly see the lights lit up all over the lake in the houseboats and road.... Small garden in between the Dal lake...It is deep somewhere while somewhere it is full of weeds.... And can see the bottom.... The small shopkeepers try to sell u their products as u go for a ride.... But they are not authentic and not good in quality....u can see shops set up in Dal lake... During winter It is covered with a layer of ice.... And if temp drops shikaras don't work.... Must visit place in srinagar

In the month of Feb, we visited gulmarg in the second week.... It was freezing cold but along with it the day was sunny.... To reach gulmarg first u need to hire a car from Srinagar till tangmarg..... After getting down at tangmarg....we add a guide named Mr ahmed., he helped us in hiring jackets, long boots, sunglasses ( a must) and mask if required on rental basis of 100rs per thing.... Till then another vehicle was ready for us to travel by tying chains on its wheels to travel safely from tangmarg to gulmarg..... It is journey of 12 km. Approx taking 20 mins to travel..... Beautiful mesmerizing road covered with snow on both sides.... After reaching gulmarg u can tell ur driver to take ur car till gondola ticket counter or walk till it which is difficult as it is 3km approx.... We took a sledge ride pulled by Kashmiri people .... Costing 1500 per person with complete back and forth journey in Gulmarg.... Complete paisa vasool and fun-filled ride.... Then we took a gondola ride 760/person for phase 1.... Ample of snowy mountains and snow to enjoy.... One can also go to phase 2 if required.... But food adventures activities are available at phase 1 or near booking counter and not at phase 2...worth going.... Keep ur cash ready and enjoy cashmore..... Kashmir..... But worth every penny.... Lifetime experience

We traveled from Srinagar to Sonmarg in one and half hour. It is 75kms. We reached in between the snow clad mountains, stunning meadows and luckily it was snow fall today that is icing on the cake. What more you need. Really enjoyed the snowfall. We hired jackets gum boots and pony for Rs 3000/- The person took us to see three points. The thing I love most about winter is playing in the snow! Me and Rajesh played a snowball fight, we made footprints and many many more!!! There is absolutely nothing more peaceful that I can think of than watching snow gently fall. Amazing experience!!!!!
