What to Expect
Expect heavy military presence everywhere, breathtaking alpine scenery, aggressive pony-walas in tourist spots, a strictly meat-heavy local cuisine (though veg is available), and a complete shutdown of your prepaid mobile network.
- Prepaid SIM cards from outside J&K DO NOT work here. You must have a postpaid connection (Jio or Airtel work best).
- Srinagar Airport has multiple layers of intense security. You legitimately need to reach 3 hours before your flight.
- The Jammu-Srinagar highway is notorious for landslides and massive traffic jams. Fly directly into Srinagar if you are short on time.
- Pony-walas in Pahalgam and Sonamarg will aggressively hustle you and overcharge. Bargain hard or just walk.
- Do not point your camera at military installations, convoys, or personnel. It will get confiscated or deleted.
Things to Do
Plan Your Trip
Flying into Srinagar International Airport (SXR) is the most reliable and hassle-free way. Alternatively, take a train to Jammu Tawi or SMVD Katra, followed by an 8-10 hour shared cab ride to Srinagar (though this highway is prone to severe traffic and landslides).
Local Guide
Skip the fancy tourist traps on Boulevard Road. Head to local spots in the old city (Downtown Srinagar) for authentic street food, or try Ahdoos and Mughal Darbar for the best Wazwan experience.

Group Trips to Jammu and Kashmir
If you are planning an epic getaway with your squad, Jammu and Kashmir group tours offer an unmatched mix of high-altitude adventure and breathtaking scenery. Forget the outdated idea that this region is only for honeymooners. Today, group trips to Kashmir are all about snowboarding down the powdery slopes of Gulmarg, conquering the Kashmir Great Lakes trek, and chilling on a Dal Lake houseboat with your friends. With 16 group tours available and affordable Kashmir trips starting from ₹7,100, exploring the 'Paradise on Earth' has never been more accessible for young Indian travelers. The most popular months to visit are between April and July 2026, when the weather is perfect to escape the scorching Indian summer plains. Whether you are looking for Kashmir tour packages that focus on intense alpine trekking, or just want a laid-back cultural road trip through Pahalgam and Sonamarg, traveling with a group cuts down costs on expensive private taxis and makes navigating the rugged terrain much easier. Travel with friends, split the cost of that massive Wazwan platter, and experience the raw, unfiltered beauty of the Himalayas.
