Some Kashmir destinations such as Gulmarg and Sonamarg are located at higher elevations than Srinagar. Travellers coming from lower-altitude cities may need some time to adjust to the mountain environment. Our Kashmir itineraries are planned at a comfortable pace so travellers get enough time to rest after reaching the valley. Avoid rushing between multiple destinations on the first day and drink enough water throughout the journey. If you are visiting Gulmarg, Sonamarg, or other higher areas, take regular breaks and avoid overexertion. Weather conditions can also change quickly at higher elevations, so keep warm clothing and follow your driver's or travel team's advice.
