Kashmir, located in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. Historically, the term “Kashmir” referred only to the valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal mountain range. However, today it refers to a larger area that includes the Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir (comprising the Kashmir Valley, Jammu, and Ladakh), the Pakistani-administered regions of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir, and the Chinese-administered areas of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract.

Kashmir is truly a paradise on Earth. Situated along the banks of the river Jhelum and surrounded by shimmering lakes, the valley boasts beautiful houseboats sailing against the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped Himalayan mountains. The area is known for its magnificent sunsets, floating markets, verdant landscapes, delectable Kashmiri cuisine, and the warm hospitality of its locals. These captivating elements make it a dream destination for travelers worldwide. No Kashmir trip is complete without staying on a luxurious houseboat and taking a Shikara ride on the serene Dal Lake.

Dal Lake, the crown jewel of Srinagar, is actually a combination of four interconnected lakes: Gargabal, Bod Dal, Lokut Dal, and Nagin. The lake also features three islands, two of which are known as Char Chinar, named after the four Chinar trees at each corner of the islands. The first Char Chinar island, Rupa Lank (Silver Island), is located in Bod Dal, while the second island, Sona Lanka (Gold Island), is situated in Lokut Dal, offering a view of the holy Hazrat Bal shrine. Both islands have rich historical significance, with the construction of Rupa Lake attributed to Murad, the brother of Emperor Aurangzeb.

While in Srinagar, visitors must explore the beautifully designed Mughal Gardens, enjoy a relaxing Shikara ride on Dal Lake, pay respects at the Shankaracharya Temple, and indulge in shopping for famous Pashmina shawls and Kashmiri handicrafts. Adventure seekers can also enjoy thrilling activities like skiing, trekking, white-water rafting, paragliding, camping, and kayaking.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK KASHMIR PACKAGE TOUR FROM CHENNAI?

Kashmir, known as "paradise on Earth," is a year-round destination. However, the ideal time to book a Kashmir Package Tour from Chennai is between late March and October when the weather in Kashmir is at its finest. This period encompasses three distinct seasons in Kashmir: Spring (March to early May), Summer (early May to late August), and Autumn (September to November).

Autumn in Kashmir is truly enchanting. The entire valley transforms with the golden hues of Chinar trees, whose leaves turn vibrant red, creating a fiery carpet of color. The sight of these fiery red leaves, especially towards the end of November, is captivating. As the leaves change from green to crimson and finally to pale yellow, the valley seems to glow with warmth. A stroll through the rustling leaves is an unforgettable experience. A key highlight of autumn is the saffron harvest in Pampore, one of the most famous saffron-producing regions in the world.

Winter in Kashmir, from December to early March, brings a magical transformation, as the valley is blanketed in snow. If you love chilly weather and winter sports, this is the time to visit. Kashmir becomes a wonderland for those seeking adventure, especially for skiing enthusiasts.

No matter the season, Kashmir offers a unique experience, making it a must-visit destination for every traveler.

THINGS YOU MUST CARRY FOR KASHMIR TRIP FROM CHENNAI

As a traveller, you must be prepared for any circumstances while travelling. There may appear any harsh situation which you can control with some basic things you carry. Here is some list of them :

Identity Proof : Always carry your original ID proof with you as Kashmir is the most sensitive part of India and anytime situation may go wrong. In that case it is only your ID proof that proves your nationality. So carry your Voter Card / Aadhaar Card / Driving Licence with you.

Keep / inform nearby contacts with you : If you have any contacts near that region / state like in Kashmir, Delhi, Haryana etc, let them inform about your journey or keep their address and contact no with you so that for any tough situation you can contact them for any help.

Medicines : This is one of the most important things in your travel kit or hand bag. Always carry basic medicine for fever, headache, vomiting, stomach upset and prescribed antiseptics, antibiotics, antacids and painkillers along with inhalers, pain relief sprays, band-aid, bandage & ointment for safe and secure journey.

Warm clothes and Jackets : Depending on your journey date you need to carry light (April - Oct) or Heavy (Nov - March) woollen clothes with you. Places like Gulmarg, Sonmarg and Pahelgam are very chilling throughout the year hence take proper precautions. It is advisable to carry water proof jackets or windcheater to avoid unseasonal rains.

Trekking Shoes/Boots : If travelling icy places like Gulmarg or Sonmagr during cold season, it is better to wear your own high thigh boots or gumboots to safe guard your legs though you can rent it from local stores.

Dry Fruits : Trust me, this is a must to be in your travel bags or hand bags. Kashmir is a hilly area and landslides may halt and stuck you in a place for long time. In that case only dry fruits can keep your hunger in control and alive.

Indeed the list is huge. Here we have provided some basic necessities to keep with you while travelling in Kashmir. In spite of the above listed things there are many to add on your item list like moisturisers, cold cream, extra carry bags, umbrella, adequate money, debit cards, credit cards, torch, candle, match stick, gas lighter, small rope, small knife, camera etc.
