How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir – A COMPLETE Travel Guide

How to plan a trip to Kashmir? For this, there are a lot of factors that you will have to consider like how to reach, where to stay, what to see, things to do, what to pack, how much will it cost, itinerary planning, etc. All of these questions cannot be answered in a single post if you truly want it to be detailed.

I have visited Kashmir a few times and have written several detailed articles that can be of help to everyone planning a trip. This information is scattered in several posts and getting the details that you need can be a little time-consuming.

For the sake of convenience and ease of navigation, I am cataloging these articles in the post below. Follow the links, take a look at the articles and every question that you have about visiting Kashmir will surely get answered. You will find complete information about popular destinations like Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahalgam, Gurez, and Aharbal, as well as some offbeat destinations like Drung Waterfall, Chatpal Valley, Sinthan Top, Daksum, and several other places.

If there are still some doubts left, you can contact me on Instagram and I will be happy to help in any way that I can. I would greatly appreciate it if you could also consider subscribing to my YouTube channel .

Best Time to Visit Kashmir

When is the best time to visit Kashmir? There is actually no straight answer to this question because it will depend on what kind of trip you were looking forward to.

If you want to see snow, January and February are ideal times. If you want to see lush green views, September will be the best time. For a honeymoon trip, I will recommend April and September.

If you want to see flowers and the Tulip Garden, you should plan for April. If you want to see Apple orchards, August and September is the best time to go.

For photography, a trip in the post-monsoon season will be best. For budget travelers, August and November are good times to go.

This however is just a brief overview. For a more detailed and month-by-month breakdown of this information, please take a look at When is the Best Time to Visit Kashmir .

Mobile Network and Data Connectivity

BSNL has the widest network in Kashmir but Airtel is better in terms of the quality of the network. Jio works decently well but the services of Vodafone and Idea are not that great.

The important thing that you should know is that only postpaid connections work in the valley. Irrespective of which network you were on, your phone will be dead as soon as you enter Kashmir if it was a prepaid connection.

But if it was a postpaid phone, you would have good reception and data connectivity in tourist destinations like Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Pahalgam. If you went a little offbeat, your phone may or may not work depending on the service provider.

I have covered this topic in great detail in another article Mobile Network and Data Connectivity in Kashmir that you can take a look at. I have given a region-wise breakdown of the network reception in this post.

Kashmir Trip Cost

How much will a Kashmir trip cost? This will depend on a lot of factors like the number of travelers, duration of the trip, mode of commute, personal preferences, etc. But with that being said, there is still an average per-person cost that can be calculated.

Take a look at this post – How to Calculate the Total Cost of Kashmir Trip . While I cannot give you the exact cost of the Kashmir trip, I can still give you an idea of how you can calculate your own Kashmir trip budget. That is the information that I covered in this article.

Using the numbers below, you will get a fairly good estimate of how much you will end up spending in the valley. These are some of the minimum expenditures that you will end up incurring for accommodation, taxi, food, shopping, etc.

Clothes to Pack for Kashmir Trip

The next important question will be related to your packing. The clothes that you need for visiting Kashmir will vary according to the season and month of your trip. It will also depend on the places you have in mind to visit and your mode of commute as well.

I will recommend taking a look at Clothes for Kashmir Trip – Things to Pack for Kashmir Trip for more information on this aspect. In this post, I have talked in detail about the kind of clothes that you should be packing for a trip to Kashmir in different seasons.

Places to Visit in Kashmir

Now let us take a look at the tourist destinations in Kashmir, places that you just cannot afford to miss. These are the destinations that will become the very highlight of your journey.

I am adding Srinagar first to the list because that is where you will have to go first. Srinagar will be your base to explore the beautiful valleys of Kashmir.

But is it just that? The answer is no.  It is not just a base to explore Kashmir but rather a place that deserves to be explored, a place of both natural and man-made beauty.

Shah Jahan a long time ago aptly called Kashmir the paradise on earth, and Srinagar is the heart of that paradise. With its serene blue lakes and magnificent gardens ringed by an Arc of Majestic Himalayas, it is a picture-perfect town that looks straight out of a painting.

There is just so much to see here and so much to do. This I believe is the very reason that despite all the unrest and tensions, Srinagar continues to remain one of the most visited tourist destinations in our country.

Gulmarg in my opinion is the biggest tourist attraction in Kashmir. Known as the meadow of flowers, it is a heavenly place to tread in that offers mesmerizing landscapes and an enthralling possibility of various adventure activities.

Such is the beauty of this tiny hamlet that it attracts people from all over the country throughout the year. It is possibly one of those destinations where the tourist season never ends.

From families to adventure enthusiasts, Gulmarg has a lot to offer everyone. It not only draws tourists from other parts of the country but also is a favorite weekend getaway for the local Kashmiris as well.

Below is a list of articles that I have posted on Gulmarg. I will recommend taking a look at these before visiting this beautiful little town.

  • Gulmarg – A Complete Travel Guide and Itinerary
  • Gulmarg in Winter Travel Guide

  • Best Time to Visit Gulmarg – Best Month, Season, Activities

  • Baba Reshi Gulmarg – History, How to Reach, What to See

If you were planning a winter trip to Gulmarg, you may want to check out the video below. This was shot during one of my trips to Gulmarg in the month of January.

The next destination that you must visit during your Kashmir trip is Sonamarg. The place is easily accessible, remains open for most of the year, has plenty of hotels, offers amazing views, and is perfect for all kinds of trips.

Public transport is also easily available. There is a daily bus between Srinagar and Sonamarg. Other than that, shared cabs also travel on the route regularly.

For accommodation, there is a wide range of hotels to choose from, both for budget travelers as well as someone looking for a luxury stay. Read on to find out more.

Below is a list of articles that provide the information that you need to know in order to plan your trip.

  • Sonamarg – A Complete Travel Guide and Itinerary
  • Best Time to Visit Sonamarg – Season, Month

  • Thajiwas Glacier – Sonamarg to Thajiwas Glacier Trek Guide

  • Taxi Rates in Sonamarg | Sonmarg Local Taxi Rates

If you were planning on visiting Sonamarg in the winter season, you can also take a look at the video below to get more details on the topic.

The name Pahalgam needs no introduction. It is one of the most visited destinations of Kashmir, one that receives tourists all year long. No trip to Kashmir is complete unless Pahalgam is a part of the itinerary.

Located at a distance of about 100 kilometers from Srinagar, Pahalgam is best known for its awe-inspiring vistas, lush green meadows, dense forests, and pristine waters. The place is also noted for the annual pilgrimage to the shrine Amarnath Yatra that starts here in July and August.

In the articles below, I have talked about how a trip to Pahalgam can be planned, places you should visit there, accommodation, public transport, and several other useful tips.

  • Pahalgam – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary
  • What to see in Pahalgam – Sightseeing in Pahalgam
  • Best Time to Visit Pahalgam – When to go to Pahalgam

But in my opinion, the actual fun of visiting Pahalgam is in the winter season. This is when the natural beauty of this place is at its best. Take a look at the video below to know what I am talking about.

Drung Waterfall

Drung Waterfall, also known as Drang Waterfall or Durung Waterfall, is a destination that must find a place in your itinerary if you are planning a winter trip to Kashmir. It may not be that large in size but the sight that it presents in the winter season is truly majestic and is sure to charm you off your feet.

As the temperature in the valley drops, the water of this fall starts to freeze. By early January, the entire face of the mountain that it falls from is covered by a thick layer of ice. The water still continues to flow down but is surrounded by huge icicles and snow.

The waterfall is located about 42 kilometers from Srinagar and 16 kilometers from Gulmarg. It remains accessible for all 12 months and can easily be included in your trip to Gulmarg. You can visit Drung at any time of the year but it is in the winter season when the waterfall is truly at its best.

For more details on this one of its kind waterfall, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Drung Waterfall and What to See . You can also take a look at the video below for more details.

Gurez Valley

Gurez Valley is one of the least explored regions of Kashmir and the one that can truly be called an offbeat destination. It is a place of high scenic beauty that does not really get the attention that it truly deserves. The vistas and the natural beauty of the mountains that you see here are very different than what you will see elsewhere.

Usually, when you talk about visiting Kashmir, it is mostly 4 places that come to mind – Srinagar, Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Pahalgam. Even Srinagar just acts as a base to explore the other three places.

But Kashmir is so much more. There are so many other places here that will leave you mesmerized if visited. Gurez is one such destination that I will highly recommend that you find a place for in your travel plans.

How you can plan your trip to Gurez are details that I have covered in the posts below.

  • Gurez Valley – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary
  • Places to Visit in Gurez Valley and Things to Do
  • Best time to Visit Gurez Valley – Month, Season, Snow, Road
  • Habba Khatoon Peak Gurez – The Legend of Habba Khatoon
  • Razdan Pass Gurez, Kashmir – Sightseeing & Trip Planning

how to plan a trip to kashmir

Let us now take a look at some offbeat destinations that do not find a place in everyone’s itinerary but are definitely worth visiting.

Yusmarg is located at a distance of about 50 kilometers from Srinagar in the Badgam district of Kashmir. At an altitude of 2,396 meters (7,861 ft), it is an alpine valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains and meadows of Pine and Fir.

It is one of those places in Kashmir that are immensely beautiful but do not get the attention that they rightfully deserve. But for someone wanting to go offbeat and stay away from the crowd, Yousmarg is perfect.

For more details on this destination, please take a look at Yusmarg – A Comprehensive Travel Guide & Itinerary .

Doodhpathri

Doodhpathri is a small hill station in Kashmir. It lies in a bowl-shaped alpine valley surrounded by snow-clad mountains and meadows of Pine Fir and Deodar. It sits at an altitude of 2,730 meters (8,957 ft) above sea level and receives heavy snowfall in the winter season.

The region does not have all-year road connectivity yet and in the months of peak winter, it can get very difficult to reach here. For the rest of the year though, a trip to Doodhpathri can actually be made in less than half a day.

To be honest, it is not yet a hill station as there is little to no development in the region. What you see is nature in its raw form. There are just a few houses of the local shepherds and that is the only sign of civilization that you will see here.

The area is largely unexplored and receives very little tourism. However, efforts are being made by the authorities to develop it as a tourist destination. JKTDC has also built a resort here for tourists who want to stay overnight. You can take a look at Doodhpathri – A COMPLETE Travel Guide & Itinerary to find out more.

Mughal Road

Not many people would know about the Mughal Road. Srinagar Jammu National Highway, also known as NH44, is often considered to be the only road connecting the cities of Jammu and Srinagar.

It is true that it is indeed a better maintained, wider, more traveled upon, and shorter way to travel between the two places but it is definitely not the only one.

There actually exists another route that is far more scenic, less crowded, takes you through some internal parts of Kashmir, and has existed for far longer than the regular NH44 highway. Yes, I am talking about the historical Mughal road.

This route is the alternate way to travel between Jammu and Srinagar and to reach some internal areas of Kashmir like the town of Rajouri. It is also a very scenic route that definitely deserves to be explored.

For more details on Mughal Road, you can take a look at the posts below.

  • Mughal Road – Route Detail, Sightseeing, Best Time
  • Peer ki Gali, Mughal Road – Trip Planning & Sightseeing

Aharbal Waterfall

Aharbal Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Kashmir. It is also the most easily accessible one and yet never crowded. Located at a distance of only about 70 kilometers from Srinagar, it is a place that is amazingly beautiful but does not get the attention that it truly deserves.

If you are planning to visit Kashmir, I highly recommend that you find a day in your itinerary for a visit to Aharbal. How can you plan that is what I have talked about in the article below.

  • Aharbal Waterfall – A Complete Travel Guide & Itinerary

Can you visit Aharbal Waterfall in the winter season? It will depend a lot on the weather at the time of your trip but yes, a trip can be planned. Take a look at this short video below to see how this beautiful waterfall looks in winter.

Daksum Valley

Daksum, also known as Daksum Valley or Daksum Village, is a viewpoint or a picnic spot located on the Anantnag-Kishtwar road near Sinthan Top. Surrounded by lush green mountains and sitting right next to the Bringhi River, it is a popular spot among the locals for family outings and school picnics.

If you are someone who likes spending time in nature, away from the crowd in an offbeat place, Daksum may just be your cup of tea. It really feels like in the middle of nowhere and if you were here during the weekdays, there would hardly be anyone around. For more details, please read How to Plan a Trip to Daksum Valley .

Sinthan Top

Sinthan Top, also known as Sinthan Pass, is a mountain pass located in Kashmir’s Breng Valley, on the road that runs between Anantnag in Kashmir and Kishtwar in Jammu. At an altitude of 12,500 ft, the top of the pass is also known as the 360-degree viewpoint as it offers a charming panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and the valley.

It is a beautiful mountain pass that should find a place in every tourist’s itinerary who is coming toward Pahalgam. Due to its close proximity, Sinthan Top can be easily incorporated with a trip to Pahalgam. The drive from Srinagar to Sinthan Top through the Daksum Valley is also quite scenic and offers a chance to visit some other destinations like Achabal Gardens, Kokernag, and Daksum.

For more details, please read How to Plan a Trip to Sinthan Top and take a look at the video below. This video covers both Daksum Valley as well as Sinthan Top because both these places are right next to each other.

Chatpal Valley

Chatpal, also called Chattabal, is not really a name that many tourists know about. It is a small valley located near Pahalgam but while Pahalgam receives thousands of visitors each year, almost no one goes in the direction of Chatpal. It is one of those places in Kashmir that are still unexplored and yet to find their place on the tourist map.

The majority of the folks you will find in Chatpal will just be the locals from Anantnag or any of the nearby villages, out there for a picnic or a family outing. Even they visit Chattabal usually over the weekends, on Sundays. For the rest of the week, you will hardly see anyone there.

If you are someone who likes to go to offbeat places, away from the crowd, and spend some time in peace, then Chattabal will surely look charming to you. For more details, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Chatpal Valley and check out the video below.

Public Transport in Kashmir

The best way to travel to Kashmir is either by your self-owned vehicle or a private taxi. But if you are a budget traveler, you can also opt for public transport which is available in the form of buses and shared taxis. The problem however is that it is not frequent.

It will be hard to find a JKSRTC bus anywhere in Kashmir. You will have to rely on mini-buses and shared cabs operated by the locals. They do not have a set schedule or timetable but are available throughout the day.

For more details on this topic, please take a look at How to Travel in Kashmir by Buses & Shared Cabs . In this post, I have provided complete details on how you can commute from Srinagar to other places by public transport.

VARGIS KHAN

If you are planning on renting a taxi for your trip, the posts below can help you get a cost estimate. An important thing that you should remember is that places like Pahalgam and Gulmarg have their own taxi rates.

What it means is that if you rented a taxi to Pahalgam from Srinagar, it could only drop you in Pahalgam. To visit local places like Betaab Valley, Chandanwari, and Aru Valley, you will have to rent a local cab in Pahalgam.

The same rule applies to Gulmarg. If you want to go for a drive to Bota Pathri, you will have to rent another cab in Gulmarg for that.

Similarly, this rule is also applicable if you intend to move on to Kargil, Zanskar Valley, or Ladakh after exploring Kashmir. Take a look at the posts below to find out taxi rates applicable for these particular regions.

  • Srinagar Taxi Rates
  • Pahalgam Taxi Rates
  • Sonamarg Taxi Rates
  • Gulmarg Taxi Rates
  • Kargil Taxi Rates
  • Ladakh Taxi Rates

Renting a Bike

Renting a bike in Srinagar is a great way to explore for people who reach Kashmir by flight. There are a few bike rentals in the city which you can get the bikes from.

Please take a look at How to Rent a Bike in Srinagar and Srinagar Bike Rental Rates . From both of these posts, you can get to know the procedure and the cost involved.

Self-Drive Rental

If you would however like to rent a car in Srinagar and drive it around on your own, that is also an option. Please take a look at How to Rent a Self-Drive Car in Srinagar for more details.

Itinerary Planning

Your final itinerary for Kashmir will entirely depend on the number of days you have in hand, your budget, and your preferences. But I will recommend taking a look at How to Plan Your Itinerary for Kashmir .

In this post, I have shared different examples of itineraries based on the time at hand. You can pick any one of the suggested itineraries and either follow it completely or modify it as per your requirements.

Food to Try in Kashmir

Your trip to not just Kashmir but any place is incomplete unless you have tasted the local cuisine. That in my opinion is actually one of the best parts of traveling to different places.

The mouth-watering local food to try in Kashmir is an experience that you just cannot miss. Below is a comprehensive list of what to eat and where.

A common question that gets asked most often is about vegetarian food and its availability. You do not have to worry about that as well.

There are a lot of places all over Kashmir where they only serve vegetarian, even Jain food as well. So finding a place to eat will not actually be a problem.

The posts below provide more information on the food that you should try in Kashmir and where.

  • Food to Try in Kashmir – What to Eat & Where

Hello Vargis bhai, Thanks a lot for detailed information, Extremely helpful to people like us to build DIY travel plan.

I am considering trip to Kashmir from Oct 14 to 24, Mainly Srinagar, Gurez, Gulmarg and Pahalgam, , is this good time to visit Kashmir and all these places i want to cover.

I am planning below itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive Srinagar Day 2: Srinagar Local Day 3: Sringar Gurez Day 4: Gurez Day 5: Gurez to Gulmarg Day 6: Gulmarg to Pahalgam Day 7: Pahalgam Day 8: Pahalgam Day 9: Pahalgam to Sringar and flyout

Please let me know your thoughts if i should make any adjustment to above plan.

This is a good plan Sachin Bhai. I am assuming that you are going to book a taxi for the trip?

Yep, thanks for your feedback , Yep I plan to book taxi for entire trip, few questions.

1) Is Toyoto Etiros/Dzire is good for Gurez trip of you need to have Innova /Scorpio ? Do you know if Razdan pass would be open during October or there is chance of closure ?

2) I changed my plan a bit to skip Gulmarg as I am not interested in doing Gondola, so is there anything else interesting to do there, I assume As i am covering Doodthpatri from Srinagar, the scenary would be similar., what is your suggestion ?

3) what is your opinion on doing Day trip to Yusmarg vs Doodhpatri, from Srinagar ?, doing both on one day could be hectic right ? which one I should do Yusmarg or Doodhpatri ?

Here is my final plan with and without gulmarg as below, let me know your suggestion.

Itinerary 1: without Gulmarg Day 1: Arrive Sringar and go to Pahalgam Dah 2: Pahalgam Local Day 3: Pahalgam Local Day 4: Pahalgam to Gurez Day 5: Gurez Local Day 6: Gurez to Srinagar Day 7: Sringar local Day 8: Srinagar Doodhpatri Day 9: Srinagar Flyout in evening

Itinerary 2: with Gulmarg Day 1: Arrive Sringar and go to Pahalgam Dah 2: Pahalgam Local Day 3: Pahalgam to Gulmarg Day 4: Gulmarg to Gurez Day 5: Gurez Local Day 6: Gurez to Srinagar Day 7: Srinagar Local Day 8: Srinagar DoodthPatri Day 9: Srinagar local and Flyout.

1. Razdan Pass usually remains open in Oct. Scorpio / Innova will be better but it depends on the number of people traveling 2. Yeah, the scenery is more or less similar 3. Same on one day will be hectic. Doodhpathri is better

If the taxi driver is agreeing, the second plan would be better

Thanks a lot for your Feedback Vargisbhai ! Yes we are 3 people so I assume Dzire or Etios should be good enough to cover Dawar – Chakwali route, right ?

For Chakwali route, you will have to hire a Sumo from Dawar. The drivers from Srinagar usually refuse to go on that route due to extremely bad roads. A hatchback or a Sedan driver will definitely not go

Thank you so much Mr. Vargis for your details, Want to choose one destination among Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gulmarg, please advise.

Hi Sangita – Gulmarg is better among all three of them but also crowded. If not Gulmarg then Doodhpathri

Dear All, This is the review about Kashmironline. We booked on a package in this summer for a family through them, but the hotel which they have opted in Srinagar was not good. No power to stay, no water and no hot water as well. We have to ask for all service every now and then. But upfront the agency collects the payment. Also, they never respond. The reason for booking through a travel agent is that we will not have issues and it will be a safe travel, but here its very bad, there will be a response saying that they will do, but nothing will happen. Remember people travelling to Srinagar / Kashmir make sure you are clear on package, would recommend to make arrangements on your own. Do not depend on any travel agents. Specially Kashmironline at all. They are not friendly and held me in a hotel to pay the final amount. Never trust on any customer and they do not need any customer satisfaction. I have informed very clearly the balance 7-8% (Approx 9000) of amount will be paid on last day of my travel in morning, irrespective of telling and informing the same, they holded in the hotel in the lobby asking for balance payment two days prior itself. The agency called up the hotel informed that before I leave collect the balance money. That looks very bad in front of others asking for money as if am going to move away without paying from them. My only question is if you guys or agency never trust on customer, how do you expect the customer to trust you. If something goes wrong, you will never revert back right. Now, I had a bad and worst stay in Srinagar, they never responded to me anything about that at all. The kashmironline person was apologizing but nothing happened. The issues repeated thrice for all 3 days of stay, our stay was ruined. We went for sight-seeing late for all 3 days and we are not provided with basic necessity of things to stay. Irrespective of informing that Iam not comfortable on the first day itself. Please be aware of these things in Kashmir. Never book though kashmironline at all. They never bother about any feedback or comfortable stay of customer. Only money is important. The driver they organized doesn’t even have a courtesy and he dropped us the railway station by 9pm and have requested him to take me to 5km nearby for dinner which he denied. He never answered any calls after dropping us. Irrespective of informing that we need to have dinner before dropping us, he never bothered that Iam with 2 kids without food travelling for whole night. He was keen on moving away since the money is fully paid a day prior. Important is he knows entire story of this issue. They never change and felt bad for booking with them. Entire trip is ruined and I have give other hint to save other atleast, not to get cheated. Since no one save me.. kashmironline These details are from my recent personal experience during the month of May 2023.

With Regards, Balasubramaniam.

Thank you Bala Bhai for sharing your experience. Most of these online travel platforms are more or less the same. They act as mediators only. I always tell people to not go with any online travel platform.

Hello Vargis Thank you so much for your details, Want to choose one destination among Doodhpathri, Yousmarg and Gulmarg, please advise.

' src=

Hi Vargis, Thank you for your sharing and your article very details. If you don’t mind please suggest best travel agent in Kashmir who can arrange. We plan our trip on December 2023.. tq

' src=

Hello. Thanks for the details. I am planning Gulmarg directly from the airport (2 nights) , then Sonmarg (2 nights), then Pahalgam (3 nights) and then Srinagar (2 nights). Is that itinerary okay ? Are these places equidistant

2 and 3 days is a bit much. Gulmarg 1 day, Sonamarg 1 day and Pahalgam 1 night should be more than enough. You can spend rest of your time visiting other places.

' src=

Vargis Ji, we are not getting tickets for Gondola Ride. what would be other options?

No other option bhai. You can check at the counter if anyone is selling in black

' src=

Hi I am visiting from may 1 to 6 ., this is my first trip to kashmir solo, will travelling to Kargil from Srinagar for 2 days be good ..?

That road is not open yet. There is no telling if it will open by May 1

' src=

What a great Blog. Covers almost everything. The best part is that it is not commercial blogs, which generally have an interest in the places they mention. You have written in simple language and from your first-hand experience. I am a Sr. Citizen and also handicapped. I use an artificial limb, but mobility is not an issue (maybe rocky climbing and snow/water). I do travel a lot. My question is: Will you recommend Gondola Phase I and II? My Travel Agent has custom-built an Itinerary for my wife and me using taxis only for the 2 of us. I was told that there is a Union issue and private taxis are not allowed in Gulmarg and Pahalgam and I will have to book local taxis there.

Please advise keeping my handicap in mind. Thanks.

I intend to travel in mid-September.

Thank you for your kind words, Mr. D’Souza.

If you are going to stay in Gulmarg overnight, then yes, I will recommend the Gondola ride. If you are just planning a day trip, it will be best to skip it.

You do not need to rent another taxi in Gulmarg for sightseeing. They may ask to take you to Bota Pathri by renting another cab but avoid that. There is nothing there. All the other places in Gulmarg are near the market area. No additional taxi is needed.

Yes, you will have to rent another taxi in Pahalgam for local sightseeing. Srinagar taxi will not be allowed there.

' src=

Hello Vargis, your blogs are awesome, provides complete details one need to plan themselves. Great work! I’m confused in choosing one between yusmarg and doodhpathiri. If i have to select one of these, which one should it be? TIA

Hello Priya Ji – Thank you for your kind words. Both of the places are equally beautiful but if I have to pick one, I will go to Doodhpathri.

' src=

Such a detailed article!!! Thanks for sharing

' src=

There are so many very well known and most liked temples in Kashmir I didn’t find any mention of these temples and places in your article is there any particular reason or you missed it In case you need any help to draw your attention towards those places I can do that

Pran Bhai Most of these temples are located in the old Srinagar town and I never had the chance to visit there until recently. I do not put any information on the blog until I have been to that place. Please see this post. I did visit the temples and highlighted them

https://vargiskhan.com/log/srinagar-old-city-tour/

If you have information on these temples, please do let me know and I will update. The two that I have been to is the Mangaleshwar Mahadev temple and the Ganesh Ji temple in Ganpatyar. I know there are a lot many others and I plan on visiting them during my next trip so that I can write a post about the temples in Srinagar.

Hi Vargis, your blogs are just out of this world. You can start publishing “Vargis Planet”

I have a mobility issue. Though I drive but I walk with crutches and small distances only. I followed your blog on Prashar Lake and you had clarified all my concerns so well that I drove upto the last possible point without any issue and then a little walk to the point from where the lake is visible. Though I didn’t trek down to the lake and temple. That was little too much for me.

Anyway, I am now planning to drive to Kashmir in Sept 1st week and plan to spend 3 days each at Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg. I wanted to ask you how long is the walks at various gardens in Srinagar. I also plan to do Doodhpatri, Yousmarg and Achabal.

Is there too much to walk in Phase 1 and 2 of Gandola, also Sonmarg, Kokernag, Daksum areas? I will be thankful if you can reply to me and help me plan better.

Hi Swati – Sorry I had been traveling myself for the last couple of months and did not see your comment until now. Sorry for the late reply. I guess you are already in Kashmir by now.

The Mughal gardens of Srinagar: Persian beauty in Kashmir

The Mughal gardens of Srinagar are a rare example of an splendor of the Paradise on Earth. Let’s discover their history and secrets!

Jardines mogoles de Srinagar

Among the attractions of the capital of Kashmir , we find the Mughal gardens of Srinagar . Located slightly outside the city, on the eastern shore of Dal Lake, they are safe places to visit at your leisure.

Even at times when Kashmir was a hotbed of unrest, they were always open to the public.

If there is paradise on earth: it is here, it is here, it is here | A phrase attributed to the Mughal emperor Jahangir. Gar firdaus bar-rue zamin ast, hami asto, hamin asto, hamin ast

What is a Mughal garden?

The concept of the Mughal garden refers to the gardens designed by the Mughal emperors (1526-1858) in their palaces, but also on the outskirts of the city as recreational spaces.

They are actually based on Persian garden designs , with an absolute preference for the form called charbagh , or four gardens. Other Persian garden designs are the bagh, the meidan and the hayat, each with a more or less important presence of vegetation and architecture and different public or private uses.

The charbagh is a private garden with a layout that subdivides the garden into four parts. It usually has a water element that crosses in the center, thus recalling the Muslim paradise . According to the Koran, paradise is a garden where four rivers start from a central elevation: one of milk, one of nectar, one of water and one of honey. Around it, an orchard of abundance was distributed. Therefore, in the charbagh the vegetation is distributed in flowerbeds that combine fruit trees and flowers, with geometric designs similar to a Persian carpet.

Charbagh in India

In India, the charbagh was very successful. It is found in palaces in Rajasthan and in Mughal tombs. The most famous charbagh is the Persian garden of the Taj Mahal , which was heavily reworked during the colonial period. The British reclaimed the compound and planted large trees and eventually built an English garden. Today the two coexist, with the Persian garden recovered around the central canal, and the lawns and large trees in the side areas of the monument.

You will find Mughal gardens in the Agra Fort , in the area of Shah Jahan’s private quarters or in the tomb of Akbar. Sometimes, the charbagh is again divided into four other gardens, as happens in the tomb of Humayun in Delhi or in the Taj Mahal itself and 16 spaces are created. In the central area of the Amber Fort, the Persian vegetable carpet is created with marble channels between the Sheesh Mahal and the monsoon palace. The same is true of the Saffron garden at Amber’s Maota Lake .

However, the best preserved Mughal gardens that have remained the ultimate benchmark are those of Srinagar. The fact that they still work with the original technology and that they were considered paradise by emperors like Jahangir, helps to keep alive the myth of their beauty. The truth is that getting here is an adventure in itself, and that not only the gardens, but the whole natural environment is impressive.

Jardines mogoles de Agra

Kashmir and the Mughals

Kashmir enters the Mughal world from the conquest of the valley by Emperor Akbar . After capturing Kashmir, Akbar built a fortress called Koh-i-Maran, which today is known as the Hari Parbat fort. We will return to it to discuss its Almond Garden later.

The Mughal gardens of Srinagar

Srinagar’s three Mughal gardens are located on the eastern shore of Dal Lake. They are slightly removed from the city, although they are easily accessible by road.

The three gardens were built by Mughal emperors or dignitaries of the empire in the period between the reigns of Jahangir and Shah Jahan (1605-1666). The 17th century coincides with the period of maximum splendor of the Mughal empire. These gardens are contemporary with the construction of Versailles , to put a historical landmark of the West.

A curiosity of these spaces is that in the past they could be accessed directly in sikara. Particularly, Nishat Bagh had a portal on the Dal Lake. Today the road prevents reaching the water from the gardens.

Lago Dal

Shalimar Bagh

Shalimar Bagh means the garden of Love. It is a common name in several Mughal constructions of the time. You can find homonymous gardens in Lahore, Pakistan, which are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Srinagar garden was built by Emperor Jahangir in honor of his only wife, Nur Jahan.

The Kashmir valley so enamored the emperor that he spent 13 summers here. No wonder he is credited with identifying the valley with paradise, and Srinagar became the summer capital of the Mughal Empire.

Shalimar Bagh is a traditional Persian-style garden with three cascading terraces surrounded by fountains and plane trees. The garden has 410 fountains and a central canal called Shah Nahar that conducts water between the three terraces.

The two side gardens of Shalimar Bagh are known as Fara Bagh or Garden of Delights and Faiz Bagh or Garden of Generosity.

Jardín mogol de Shalimar Bagh

Summer Palace of Jahangir and Shah Jahan

When Emperor Jahangir settled in Srinagar, the buildings of Shalimar Bagh were the imperial residence. The court assembled in these gardens.

The first terrace functioned as Diwan-i-Aam, i.e., the public audience hall . The second terrace was the Diwan-i-Khaas or room for the emperor’s private audiences .

On the third and last terrace was the Zenana , the Indian name for the harem. This is where the women of the Mughal court lived during the reign of Jahangir. Shah Jahan settled here in a black stone pavilion that today occupies the third terrace.

When to visit Shalimar Bagh

The two most beautiful times to visit the garden of Shalimar Bagh are spring, when most of the garden is in bloom, and autumn, when the banana trees change their leaves.

Nishat Garden

The second Mughal garden of Srinagar, chronologically speaking, is considered the largest and most extraordinary of the three. Interestingly, it is the only one that was not commissioned by an emperor.

It was built by Nur Jahan’s brother, Asaf Khan . This personage had a lot of influence on the Mughal court since he was doubly related to the Mughals. He was also the father of Arjumand Bano or Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan’s favorite wife (for whom the Taj Mahal was built).

Nishat Bagh means the Garden of Joy. It is built between the Dal Lake and the Zabarwan Mountains, so it has a spectacular view in both directions.

It is distributed in 12 terraces, representing the 12 signs of the zodiac . As I mentioned earlier, the road around the lake prevents direct access by Sikara to Nishat Bagh, but in the past it was possible to enter directly from the water.

mughal kashmir tours and travels

The legend of Nishat Bagh

Legend has it that Shah Jahan was so enamored with the beauty of Nishat Bagh that he asked his father-in-law to give it to him. Asaf Khan refused to give up his space for recreation and contemplation which provoked the anger of the Emperor. Shah Jahan had the water supply to the garden cut off.

Whether by chance or out of pity, Asaf Khan fell ill while his gardens were drying up and Nishat Bagh looked desolate. It seems that one of his servants took pity on him and reopened the taps supplying water from the mountains in disobedience to the emperor. With the return of the splendor of Nishat Bagh, Asaf Khan was regaining his health.

Emperor Shah Jahan upon learning of the incident withdrew his orders and returned the permission to use the water to Asaf Khan.

Nishat Bagh main elements

The Mughal gardens of Kashmir are the only ones still functioning with the original water supply system.

It should be noted that each fountain has a different melody due to the fall of water between the different levels and that is also part of its particular beauty.

From Nishat Bagh you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Dal Lake . I recommend that you visit these gardens in the spring or autumn when the changing color of the banana leaves gives it a very special aura.

The gardens are marked by the snow-capped peaks of Pir Pangal and Zabarwan.

Chashma Shahi Garden

This garden was curated by Shah Jahan and is the last of the three great Mughal gardens of Srinagar. It was a gift from the emperor to his firstborn son, Prince Dara Shikho.

The garden is built on three terraces and has a natural water source that has healing properties . The truth is that the water from this spring is rich in minerals, and for many years it was brought to Delhi for the consumption of the royal family. Even Prime Minister Nehru consumed it regularly.

Tumbas musulmanas en Srinagar

The natural continuation of the visit to these gardens is the Pari Mahal. The palace and astronomical observatory of Prince Dara Shikoh is on top of the Zabarwan.

The complex has a seven-story palace and garden . From this palace, one can appreciate the beauty of the Kashmir valley and the city of Srinagar.

Dara Shikoh spent his months of studying and practicing in astronomy here. The prince treasured an imposing library specializing in the science of the time. He spent his time studying and translating manuscripts in solitude with spectacular views of Dal Lake.

Be careful with the stories of local guides

Some local guides say that it was at the Pari Mahal that Aurangzeb captured and killed Dara Shikoh who was the heir to Shah Jahan’s Mughal throne. However, historical records indicate that he was captured in Sindh, on the India-Pakistan border, and imprisoned in Delhi until his last days.

Incidentally, his brother Murad, who collaborated with Aurangzeb, had an island in the middle of Dal Lake. The island is called Char Chinar, or Four Bananas.

Other gardens in Srinagar

The Kashmir Valley and, in particular, the city of Srinagar, are full of Mughal remains. Here are some that you can’t miss.

Garden of almond trees

The Akbar-era fort is today a militarized space, as Kashmir has since India’s independence had a strong army presence. It is therefore closed most of the year , with one exception.

During the Kashmiri spring (March-April) one of the most spectacular gardens in India is accessible. The Badamwari or Almond Garden was commissioned by Emperor Akbar at the base of the fort.

It is a Persian garden in the charbagh style, i.e. a private garden divided into 4 spaces by stone walkways that cut perpendicularly in the center. It is not among the Mughal gardens of Srinagar, although de facto, it is.

Badamwari refers to the almond trees planted extensively in the garden. The almond tree has a characteristic white flower that blooms in late winter before the leaves appear. In Kashmir, it coincides with the month of March and early April. This is the only period when the fort is accessible and many Kashmiris take advantage of it to come for a picnic under the blossoming trees, a Kashmiri hanami.

Nur Jahan Mosque

Nur Jahan is one of the most interesting characters among Mughal women . She was a great empress and patron of many works. Among them is a mosque in the old quarter of Srinagar.

Pattar masjid

Nur Jahan’s mosque is known as Patthar Masjid . Unlike many mosques in the city that are made of wood, Patthar Masjid is built with the gray stone of the Kashmir valley. It is located in the old part of the city, near the Khanqah-e-Moula. It is quite hidden in the historical part and receives very few visitors.

Furthermore, it highlights the fine work of local stone and its nine arches of access in a monumental portico overlooking a garden (charbagh style, of course).

Pahalgam is a town and a notified area committee in Anantnag district of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is a popular tourist destination and hill station. Its lush green meadows and pristine waters attract thousands of tourists from all over the world each year. [1] It is located 45 kilometres (28 mi) from Anantnag on the banks of Lidder River at an altitude of 7,200 feet (2,200 m). Pahalgam is the headquarters of one of the five tehsils of Anantnag district. Pahalgam is associated with the annual Amarnath Yatra. Chandanwari, located 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Pahalgam is the starting point of the yatra that takes place every year in the months of July August.

The name means the *Meadow of Flowers*. Popular as a skiing destination in India at an altitude of 14000ft, the place is frequented by die-hard adventure lovers for the thrill of a panoramic view of the mountainous landscape from the world highest ropeway covering a mid-air distance of almost 5 kms. Snowfall is quite common even in the summer months while in winters the place is generally closed for tourists due to heavy snowfall.

LEH & LADAKH

At 3500 metres above the sea, Leh is characterised by steep landscape, clear skies and snow-covered mountain peaks. From the Zanskar River to the Pangong Tso Lake, the highest motorable road on the Earth through the Khardungla Pass, the phenomenal Magnetic Hill and the many Gompas, this is surely not to miss in Kashmir.

The word in the local language means the meadow of Gold. It is also called the Jannat or the heaven on Earth. Due to heavy snowfall the place is closed for tourists during the winters. It is the base for the Hindu pilgrimage of Amarnath. Treks, Zorbing, and river rafting are some activities to indulge in here.

This small village in Kashmir is mostly not crowded because is still relatively unknown to tourists. The terrain is filled with many monasteries and it is also home to the Hemis National Park where the snow leopard can be easily sighted. The Hemis Festival highlights the Buddhist culture surrounded by plenty of colours and masks.

The horizon of this place is marked by the 18th century Poonch Fort surrounded by greenery and white coloured mountain peaks. Some of the must visit places include the Baksh Sahib, Gurudwara Nangali Sahib and the 7 lakes of Girgan Dhok..

Situated at 53 kms from Srinagar, it lies at a height of 1600 metres above the sea. The city centre at the Lal Chowk, the 15th century Masjid Baba Dawood Khaki and the ancient archaeological site of Martand Temple are some of the popular tourist places here.

A small quiet town in the Ladakh district of Kashmir, the place hit the headlines during the infamous Kargil War between India and Pakistan. It is the second largest town in the region and is a must-visit for nature lovers and people who wish to see reminiscent signs of the 1999 war.

Famous the world over for its saffron fields, the place is lovingly called the Dudha-Kul of Kashmir because of its milk production capacity. The Aharbal Waterfall, The Tarsar and Marsar Lake, the Kounsarnag Lake surrounded by the Panjal mountain ranges are key highlights of the place.

Guide To Visiting The Famous Mughal Gardens: How To Reach, Highlights & Best Time To Visit

Mughal Gardens in Kashmir are famous for their lovely flower beds, fruit trees, and shady walks.

mughal kashmir tours and travels

Gardens in Kashmir are fascinating works of art to come across. Abundant with Natural beauty and countless springs, Mughal Gardens in Kashmir are the source of artistic inspiration. Most of these Mughal Gardens are designed in quadrant geometrical models, famously known as the Charbagh style. This concept of a planned garden was first introduced by the Mughal Emperor Babur in India and later by Akbar after conquering Kashmir in 1586. The Charbagh is a characteristic of most of the Mughal Gardens. Its design is inspired by the Persian Gardens, divided into four equal portions by walkways or small bodies of water. 

Owing to Kashmir’s natural beauty and captivating surroundings, Mughal Emperors from Akbar to Shahjahan and Prince Dara Shikoh built beautiful gardens in the Valley. These Mughal Gardens are characterised by grand terraces, beautiful fountains, and a central water channel as their principal adornments. Some famous Mughal Gardens in Srinagar are Shalimar, Nishat, Naseem, etc. So, the next time you plan to stay in the city of lakes, visit these well-known gardens of Kashmir.

Chashm-e-Shahi Garden

Mughal Gardens

The “Royal Spring,” as Chashm-e-Shahi is famously known, is a Mughal garden located in Srinagar. It was constructed in the middle of the 17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and is renowned for its lovely terraced gardens, fountains, and waterways. Chashm-e-Shahi Garden is best visited in the spring and summer, from April to September.

How to Reach: Chashm-e-Shahi is about 7 kilometres southeast of Dal Lake in Srinagar.

Shalimar Bagh

mughal kashmir tours and travels

King Pravarasena II (530–590 CE) built Shalimar for himself on the shores of Dal Lake after founding the city of Srinagar. After being demolished and ruined for ages, all that is remembered about the site is its name. Jahangir came here in the 16th century and transformed the area into a grand garden. The spring or fall seasons are the best time to visit Shalimar Bagh (mid-February to mid-April and September-October).

How to Reach: From Dal Lake, Shalimar Garden can be reached by road or lake.

Naseem Bagh

mughal kashmir tours and travels

Situated on the Dal Lake’s bank, Naseem Bagh is recognised for its lovely flower beds, trees, and lawns. The Garden is also known as ‘The Garden of Breeze’ and is most pleasing in autumn (September-October) when Chinar trees provide a refreshing wind, and their leaves are at their most gorgeous.

How to Reach: About 8 kilometres northwest of Dal Lake, you’ll find Naseem Bagh.

Nishat Garden

mughal kashmir tours and travels

This terraced Garden, which sits on the eastern side of Dal Lake, is the second-largest Mughal Garden in Kashmir. The Garden has been given the titles “Garden of Bliss,” “Garden of Joy,” and “Garden of Gladness,” which reveal its royal status. The 12 terraces that make up this Garden’s unusual layout each reflect one of the Zodiac signs. The spring and summer (April to September) are the best seasons to visit the Garden. Nishat Garden is open from 10 am to 6 pm.

How to Reach: The Garden of Joy is situated on the eastern shore of Dal Lake at a mere distance of 2 km.

Tips for visiting the famous Mughal Gardens Attractions

Here are some tips for touring the well-known Mughal Gardens:

Plan in advance 

The Garden you intend to visit may have limited hours or be closed for maintenance, so confirm its opening days and hours.

Dress Decently

Be sure to wear modest clothes that cover your shoulders and legs because many gardens have strict dress requirements.

Go Picnicking

Bring water and food with you because it may take some time to tour every Garden because some of them can be rather extensive. To stay hydrated and motivated, it’s a good idea to pack some water and snacks.

Take a guided tour

Many gardens provide a guided tour which will tell you more about the history and architecture of the gardens.
