Research the best times to visit Kashmir's mountains before looking for tour packages. Otherwise, Kashmir is a place to visit all year round, but the summer and winter months are especially special and charming. However, the majority of tourists prefer to visit during the summer, from March to October, when the weather is pleasant throughout the day and there is beautiful golden sunshine throughout the morning and noon. This is the best time to see all of the city's gardens in full bloom, take pictures of the alpine meadows in all of their lushness, and drift on the Dal Lake in Srinagar and fully immerse yourself in the moment as life slowly returns to the city after the winters. Pahalgam is a great place to go white water rafting from April to November. At this time of year, horseback riding and golfing are also popular activities in Pahalgam, where there are some excellent golf resorts. If you want to visit Gulmarg, winter is the best time to visit Kashmir. The region becomes covered in snow in December, making it difficult to engage in snow sports like skiing and snowboarding.

Before choosing your Kashmir vacation packages, you should know how to get around the area by public transportation. Minibuses and taxis are the most common modes of transportation in Kashmir, but there are also numerous autorickshaws and comfortable buses with air conditioning. The Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation operates buses that travel the city, and the Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation maintains a fleet of luxurious coaches that are ideal for touring the state. The minibus, a versatile mode of transportation that can be found throughout the city, including in the suburbs, at any time of day, is the choice of the locals. They always follow a predetermined path. However, for shorter distances, you can rely on an auto-rickshaw, which is simple to hail and ideal for entering the city's crowded bazaars and markets.

You should learn as much as you can about Kashmir's seasons and which ones are best for traveling before looking into any of the available packages. Since Kashmir is open all year, the best time to visit is between March and October in the summer and fall. You can simply watch Dal Lake in Srinagar come back to life, take in breathtaking views of the alpine meadows, and listen to the song of the birds. Between April and November, go horseback riding and rafting in Pahalgam. Come between April and November to play golf. But go to Gulmarg between December and the first half of March if you like snow and snowboarding and skiing.

Before selecting one of the Kashmir tour packages, you should know how much cash you should carry and how many ATMs are nearby. You shouldn't have any trouble finding an ATM while traveling through Kashmir because the network of ATMs there is quite extensive. However, since many ATMs may be out of service or have run out of cash, it makes sense to always carry sufficient cash—not a lot—when traveling. There are many ATMs in Srinagar, so cash withdrawals are not a problem there. However, this is not the case in Pahalgam or Gulmarg. When traveling outside of Srinagar, it's best to bring enough cash with you because these areas have fewer ATMs.

Even though all of the Kashmir travel packages you look at will include transportation, it's important to know how to get around town. Taxis and minibuses are the most common modes of transportation in Kashmir, but there are also plenty of auto rickshaws and luxury coaches. For local sightseeing in Kashmir, you can take a bus operated by the Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation or the Jammu & Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation, both of which have a fleet of luxury coaches. Otherwise, hire a tourist taxi to take you to local attractions and places outside of Srinagar. The minibus, which runs both in the city and in the suburbs, is the most popular mode of local transportation. They follow a predetermined route. Auto-rickshaws are your only option for traveling shorter distances.
