Things To Do In Jammu and Kashmir

Adventures, encounters, and memories await!

Gulmarg is a hub of several adventure activities in Kashmir, especially during winter. December through February when the terrain is covered in snow, tourists take gondola rides and skiing lessons in Gulmarg. The sweeping views from Apharwat peak mesmerise honeymooners and children. Exploring the Gurez valley in North Kashmir is one of the best things to do in Kashmir. The valley is home to a few nomadic tribes that retain their old traditions and live a simple life. Taking a wooden boat ride on Dal Lake is one of the wholesome family activities to do in Kashmir.

Lay back and sail on the placid waters of Dal Lake, admire the sights of Pir Panjal mountains, ski down the powdery slopes in Gulmarg, go on a shopping spree in Srinagar’s Lal Chowk, take a pony ride in Sonamarg, opt for paragliding in Aru, or join the batch of pilgrims on their way to sacred Amarnath Cave. The fun and the range of things to do in Kashmir never end.

Pashmina shawls, antiques, salted tea bags, willow baskets, and local spices are some of the best things to bring back from Kashmir. Saffron grown in fields of Pompore is one of the most expensive spices in the world. Local vendors sell woollens made from Pashmina, Kashmiri carpets, and handicrafts in the Old Bazaar and street markets. Bargain while shopping in Srinagar and you will definitely find a good worth for your product. While shopping in old Srinagar, one can also take the self-guided heritage walk to admire the city’s architecture.

The white waters of Lidder River are easy or moderate making the river ideal place to do rafting. Once you’ve visited the Betaab Valley near Pahalgam, do find time to conquer the noisy waters of river Lidder. Paragliding in Sonamarg, Bhaderwah, and Gulmarg will leave you speechless as you take it the majestic views of mountains. If you would rather take things slow, there’s a golf club in Gulmarg which is open to the public in summer. Besides all the adventure and fun activities, gorge on delectable Kashmiri cuisine and take a cup of salted tea which will help you maintain body temperature.

I highly recommend Travel Triangle for your future trips. They organize everything so efficiently, and it’s budget-friendly too. My trip to Kashmir was a dream come true, and they made it amazing. The driver was fantastic—his behavior was so warm and cooperative, it really felt like being with family.

Mr Owais was with us on the entire trip not only showing his brilliant driving skills but acting as a Guide as well. His knowledge about various places to visit and suggestions of cafés and restaurants helped us to enjoy the trip without any hassle. :)

Jigu's 7 days trip to Kashmir

Out of the three, only one hotel in Gulmarg was extremely good. Hotel in Pahalgam lacked many services, including proper heater, which was necessary during such temperatures. Hotel in Srinagar also lacked few services despite being a 4 starproperty and was located in a very secluded place, close to local market instead of tourist market, and we had to commute for about 5-6 Kms even for small things. Overall experience about the cab and driver was good, except for a few small things.

Jayati Chandigarh

Sharma's 6 days trip to Kashmir

Food & Accommodation: Grand Mir International: Great food, but my bed had a broken ply. The issue was temporarily fixed, and I got a new room the next day. Check bed condition at check-in. White Water Resort Pahalgam: My request for a front-side view room was not honored, despite prior instructions. Many travelers faced similar issues. Extra beds were uncomfortable, and check-in/room selection took over an hour. Heevan Houseboat: Average food for vegetarians. Have a proper meal in Srinagar beforehand. Sightseeing & Tips: Pahalgam requires two days: Day 1: ABC Valley and nearby points. Day 2: Baisaran Valley. Stay near the taxi stand/main market in Pahalgam for convenience. Shankaracharya Temple closes at 4:30 PM; plan accordingly. At Sonmarg, negotiate for boots/jackets and pay via UPI or keep proof of payment. Health & Budget: Avoid overeating makki ki roti and sarson ka saag from Doodhpathri; it caused stomach issues. Carry ₹7,000–₹10,000 cash per person for sightseeing. These tips can help ensure a smoother experience in Kashmir.
