Recommendations

You can also consider visiting the Hemis National Park, Tso Moriri Lake, and Zanskar Valley. For side trips, you can visit Gulmarg and Pahalgam in Srinagar. To maximize your fun, try some adventure activities like trekking and river rafting. I suggest carrying sufficient cash as many places may not have card payment options.
