Planning a Kashmir honeymoon: a practical guide
Kashmir is one of India's classic honeymoon destinations. Here is how to plan it well.
How many days
Five to six nights, at a slower pace than a standard tour - shorter drives, later starts, more free time.
Where to stay
- A premium houseboat on Dal Lake for the first night
- A room with a valley view in Gulmarg
- A riverside hotel in Pahalgam
Best season
April to October. Spring for blossom, summer for green meadows, autumn for golden light and better rates. Winter works too if you want snow.
The touches that matter
- A private sunset shikara rather than a shared one
- A welcome dinner on the houseboat
- Keeping one day completely unplanned
