Even if you pick the spring season to go to Jammu and Kashmir, you still have to pack warm winter clothes because Jammu and Kashmir is never not cool. You will always require a few warm layers to protect you from the cold.

We urge you to be very careful in touristy areas because there are people who would try to sell you duplicate saffron, overpriced goods, and duplicate Pashmina. So be careful and get help from your tour guides to go to authorized stores and authorized centers only.

If you are to visit any religious sites on your trip to Jammu and Kashmir remember to dress modestly and to respect everybody around you.

We also recommend that if you are choosing to travel by road, you should take note of the weather conditions beforehand. If you choose local taxis, they can charge you much higher so you should be well aware and book these taxis beforehand.

The local markets are wonderful places for you to do some souvenir shopping as you can find budget-friendly items and high-quality products at much lower prices. You can also choose to bargain and get help from locals in these areas.
