FAQ's
Is It Safe To Travel To Kashmir?
- Yes! It's safe to visit Kashmir, and the things we see on televised media are not the actual reality for the main city or tourists.
- On the contrary, Kashmir has the lowest crime rate against tourists, and most of the income for the state happens through tourism, which is the reason behind its safety. The people are friendly, helpful, and very nice to talk to. And we're not denying the possibility of spotting army vehicles or protected areas.
- Still, apart from that, it's one of the most beautiful states to visit in India and completely safe.
How To Travel To Kashmir From Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore?
- The best convenient way to travel to Kashmir is via Airways, as it's the most suitable in terms of comfort and time.
So, if you're coming from Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, you must book a flight to Sheikh Ul Alam International Airport in Srinagar.
There are options to travel to Kashmir by road or railways, but again! It might not be the most efficient way, so we prefer not to talk about it.
But if you're still concerned about 'how inconvenient,' then you should know that to go to Kashmir by railways, you must book a train to Udhampur of Jammu Tawi. Then take a cab to Srinagar, which will take you approximately 6 to 8 hours on the road.
So, yes! It's inconvenient, and Sand and Peaks recommends a journey by flight if you want to visit Kashmir.
Is Kashmir a Good Place For Honeymoon and Why?
- Honeymoon is the time to build connection and trust between two people who have been bonded in a sacred union for life.
- It does not matter that these two people were in love or strangers before getting married. The pressure to take on new responsibilities and start a new life with someone is immense.
- So, honeymoons are usually planned in a destination that is calm, beautiful, and safe at the same time. This helps the newly married couples relax, get to know each other, and have a little fun while being away from any responsibilities.
- Kashmir is one such place that is beautiful, relaxing, and magical when it comes to building connections. Also, don't forget about the snow activities you'd get to do in Kashmir, along with unique things to do, such as staying in a houseboat.
- And that's why we love sending off couples to Kashmir for their honeymoon.
What Would Be The Best Time To Visit Kashmir?
- Most people would prefer to visit Kashmir for the Snow, which is what Kashmir is famous for. So, if you're also alike, the best season is November to February for you.
- But if you want to experience calming weather with the best of everything, the monsoon months are the best, which fall between June and August. Don't worry; you can still find Snow in Gulmarg during this time too.
When Does It Snow In Kashmir?
- From November to February, all of Kashmir is covered in Snow, and it's one of the most preferred times for honeymooners or families to visit Kashmir.
- But if you're visiting Kashmir between March and October, you'd also get to see Snow but only in Gulmarg, as it's where it snows all around the year.
- Moreover, if you're interested in seeing the Tulip of Kashmir, it'll be present from March to April.
Why Should We Visit Aru and Betaab Valley While on a Kashmir Tour?
- The incredible pictures of Kashmir, where you can see green grasslands, high mountains, and bright blue sky, are all captured in Aru and Betaab Valley.
- If you're short on time, you can choose to focus on the main attractions of Kashmir, such as Srinagar, Pahalgam, and Gulmarg.
- But if you've got time, Aru and Betaab valley is one of the best things you can visit due to its excellent landscape view.
Is Houseboat Stay In Kashmir Safe and Comfortable?
- Houseboats are built very strongly and are coupled with things that provide a comfortable stay for the night. Starting from a private cabin to washrooms and a facility for food, all that is present on board.
- Moreover, it's safe as the board staff is there to ensure the safety procedures.
What Are The Famous Places In Kashmir That One Should Definitely Visit?
- Kashmir is full of places that you and your family can visit. From the capital city of Srinagar to the site famous for its Snow, Gulmarg. Everything is so fascinating that you'd not want to end the tour.
- Some other famous places on the list are Pahalgam, Aru Valley, Betaab Valley, and many other names.
- For more information, consult a travel advisor at Sand and Peaks.
How Much Time Does It Take To Travel Kashmir Along With Vaishno Devi?
- That's a very different tour compared to the one where we only visit Kashmir Sightseeing places.
- Since the City of Jammu and Kashmir is only connected through roadways. The significant difficulty comes in travelling back and forth between these two cities.
- If you start with Vaishno Devi, you'd have to visit Jammu Tawi station via railway route, complete the tour in the next three days, and then move onto Srinagar, via roadways, which will take approximately 08 hours.
- Then Kashmir would take anywhere between 05 Nights and 06 Days, and you can take a flight from here back to your hometown.
- But if you wish to go back on a train to save money, you'd have to spend one extra day on the road while returning from Srinagar to Jammu.
- The difficulty is that Jammu does not have an airport, and Srinagar does not have a railway station.
What Is The Network Connectivity Status In Jammu and Kashmir?
- The network for any Internet Service Provider works fine, but the only catch is that you'd need a postpaid connection over a prepaid one.
- And if you enter the lands of Jammu and Kashmir with a prepaid connection, you'll lose signal, and for the rest of the duration, you'd either have to borrow a cell phone with a postpaid connection or not connect with anyone at all.
What To Pack?
- •Woollen Clothes: Jackets, Sweaters, Warm Pants, Gloves, Woollen Caps, and inners are to be carried as it's generally cold in Kashmir.
- •Trekking Shoes: They are Preferred as they work during all seasons and on most terrains. It is advisable not to carry sports shoes as they have loose grip and would create difficulties walking through regions of snow or less friction.
- •Undergarments: The number of undergarments and pairs of socks carried should be equal to the days of the tour.
- •Medications: Prescribed Medications, Diamox For AMS, Vicks Inhaler, Volini Spray For Sprains, Antacids Like Eno, and anything else you find helpful during the tour.
- •Raincoat: Pack it if you already have it; there's no need to buy one for this tour exclusively.
- •Daypack: A small 20-liter backpack for carrying personal items during the day journeys to sightseeing places.
- •Toiletries: Brush, Toothpaste, Tongue Cleaner, Moisturiser, Cold Cream, Lip Balm, Hand Sanitizer, Sun Screen Lotion, and anything else you have in your list of essentials.
