💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book houseboats directly with owners during shoulder seasons (March-April, September-October) to save 30-40% compared to travel agent bookings, and enjoy better negotiation rates for multi-day stays.
📅 September to October and March to May are ideal for visiting Dal Lake when the weather is pleasant, skies are clear, and the landscape is at its most beautiful. Avoid winter months (December-February) when the lake partially freezes, and summer (June-August) when heavy tourist crowds arrive.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require a visa to visit Kashmir as it is an integral part of India. You only need a valid Indian passport or national ID for domestic travel.
