Recommendations

You may also want to consider visiting the Tso Moriri Lake, the Pangong Tso Lake, and the Zanskar Valley. If you have more time, you can also go trekking in the Markha Valley or attend the Hemis Festival in July. To maximize your fun, bring warm clothes and comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and take breaks as needed. I recommend booking a tour package to save time and hassle. Enjoy your trip to Kashmir!
