We need to hire a vehicle from Jammu to Patnitop and then to Pahalgam. This Journey will be enchanting with beautiful valleys, waterfalls, snowcapped mountain ranges etc.

A Heavenly Experience!!

At the Srinagar airport, there are pre-paid taxis charging Rs. 1200-1500 (non-AC/AC). From there it's a hassle-free journey devoid of ghats on good roads through scenic locations and saffron fields. You can also buy the world-famous Kashmiri saffron and cricket bats made from Kashmiri willow it on your way. Ask your cab-driver for a good deal. The food served at dhabas is not good, just stop for tea/ snacks. Pack a sweater or two, yeah, even the summers are cold by the rest of India standards! A windsheeter would be best to fight the chilly winds, especially if you wanna go out in the evenings or night. Normal clothing will suffice for the day or if you stay indoors. Bargain with the shawl-wallahs and horsemen. They tend fix exorbitant prices. During river-rafting, you have to sign an undertaking saying that you are participating at your own risk. Please do not take kids below 10 as they are not covered in the undertaking.
