It&#8217;s beautiful in every season. We visited Kashmir in the off-season and during a curfew imposed in the region. <strong>The streets are quiet and the bus is not operating (maybe it does but we did not see any). <\/strong>Locals depend on shared jeeps to get around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kashmir Valley is located in Northern India, between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range. Throughout history, the valley ruled by Mughals, Afghans, Sikhs, and the Dogras. The present-day Kashmir is divided and administered by India, Pakistan, and China. A large part of Kashmir is Jammu and Kashmir state, which is administered by India, and northern Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir, administered by Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Muslim is the majority population. Despite its recent turmoil, Kashmir Valley is still a popular honeymoon destination, branding as a romantic valley. Kashmir Valley portrayed in Bollywood films changed from romantic to violent. <\/strong>Still, some beautiful Indian music videos shot here. The famous dish, Rogan Josh, has its origin in Persia. It was refined with Kashmiri spices when introduced by the Mughals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura-48x32.jpg 48w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/singpura.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Winter in Chittisinghpura<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-neve-text-color-color has-css-opacity has-neve-text-color-background-color has-background is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Kashmir Valley Safe to travel?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kashmir Valley is still relatively safe for tourists to visit. Due to military presence in the valley, military trucks and soldiers are everywhere. During the curfew, it could pose issues with access to transportation. Hotels and restaurants are mostly closed. On this trip, I only visited three places in the Kashmir Valley. I cannot speak for other destinations. Hateful and political messages are elaborated in Graffiti. Soldiers stand on the roadsides with guns. The psychological impact of military presence in cities could affect some children and adults, even as travelers. The presence of the military and soldiers is not &#8220;normal&#8221; in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Day Jammu and Kashmir Itinerary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Day 1<\/strong> Shared Jeep to Chittisinghpura<br><strong>Day 2<\/strong> Explore Chittisinghpura&nbsp; \/ Pahlagam<br><strong>Day 3 <\/strong>Pahalgam<br><strong>Day 4<\/strong> Srinagar<br><strong>Day 5<\/strong> Srinagar<br><strong>Day 6<\/strong>&nbsp;Shared Jeep to Jammu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiking in Pahalgam and meet the nomads<br>Wandering in Chittisingphura<br>Walking along the Lidder river in Pahalgam<br>Try <em>Noon chai<\/em> (Salt Tea)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best time to visit Kashmir Valley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>March to May <\/strong>is summer and shoulder season.\u00a0<br><strong>June to September<\/strong> is monsoon season and an offseason\u00a0<br><strong>October to February<\/strong> is best for snow, but it&#8217;s bitterly cold at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>5 to 7 Days&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Around?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Air<br><\/strong>The easiest way to get to Srinagar is by flight.

Many rooms are available at a reasonable price if you are not picky. However, most hotels and guesthouses are closed. If you have to stay in your dream hotel, you have to call and check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chittisingphur<\/strong> &#8211; Homestay&nbsp;<br><strong>Pahalgam<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/mnZbUrcmiiy9oxL88\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a> &#8211; Hotel Swiss Cottage<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/yE8vQQrS5qatRfRP6\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"14\" class=\"wp-image-833\" style=\"width: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/locaiton2-1.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a> INR 500 for Double Bed<br><strong>Srinagar<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 Shared Jeep to Chittisinghphura<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arrived in Jammu early morning from Shimla,<\/strong> shared jeeps are stand-by not far from the bus station in Jewel Chowk. The plan was to go to Pahalgam, which is in the opposite direction as Srinagar. Anantnag, locally called Islamabad, is a busy transit city. We transferred to another jeep to the Liddar Valley direction. We got invited to spend 2 nights in Chittisinghphur, which is on the way to Pahalgam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road conditions to Kashmir are curvy along the mountain, potholes are here and there, and there is heavy traffic. <strong>The jeep left Jewel Chowk around 8:20 am.<\/strong> The road becomes foggy after sunset due to the high altitude. Arrive at Srinagar before 5 pm is ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/salttea-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:768px;height:512px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Salt Tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many roadside shops and villages along the highway.

After that, we got in a shared taxi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No traffic on the way to Pahalgam. This means tourism is slow and hotels are empty.

Permanently docked houseboats on the lakeshore, accompanied by embellished wood carving balconies. Wooden shikaras\u00a0are longboats used to commute around the lake. The lake is divided into four basins, Bod Dal, Nagin, Gagribal, and Lokut Dal. The island in the middle of Bod Dal is known as Sona Lank. The basin of the lake is the drainage of all channels and rivers in Srinagar that are interconnected and divided by causeways, gardens, and houseboats. Wooden pavements connect houses and shops built on the edge of the lake and to the houseboats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wetland of the lake covers 21.1 sq km<strong>. Floating gardens created on the banks or in soil that floats on beds of flora. Many lives are depending on vegetable growing as well as crucial in providing vegetables to the markets. They mostly cultivate carrots, radishes, lotus, turnips, and other greens. <\/strong>Every day farmers paddle to tend their floating gardens regardless of summer or winter. If you visit in July and August, you could witness the full blossom of flower gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early morning walk around the lake, I thoughtit  would be interesting to see farmers or locals on their boats. It was bone-chilling cold. On <strong>Boulevard Road<\/strong>, shops haven&#8217;t opened. This man set up a breakfast stall on the concrete embankment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2216\" style=\"width:768px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak-48x32.jpg 48w, https:\/\/mappingaway.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/sribreak.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Breakfast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shikara Boat Ride <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The shikhara boats are colorfully decorated for tourists.
