Useful Tips

For those with extra time, consider adding a houseboat stay in Srinagar or exploring the city's historical landmarks like the Hari Parbat and Shankaracharya Temple. For those with less time, skipping some of the remote locations like Yousmarg or Aru Valley could save time and money. Plan your transportation in advance, and be sure to check opening and closing times for each location. Dress warmly for the snowy environments in Sonamarg and Gulmarg and be sure to carry enough cash as certain locations may not have card facilities.
