Recommendations

Don't miss out on the opportunity to take a day trip to Sonamarg, known as the 'Meadow of Gold'. The drive from Srinagar takes around 2.5 hours, but the stunning views of the Thajiwas Glacier and the Sindh River make it worth it. Another great day trip option is to visit the town of Leh, located in the Ladakh region. The flight from Srinagar to Leh takes around 1 hour and offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas.

To make the most of your trip, try to wake up early and start your day early. This will give you more time to explore and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Also, be sure to try the local cuisine, especially the famous Kashmiri Wazwan, a multi-course meal that includes several meat dishes.
