Directions from Srinagar –

From Srinagar ,You can reach Pahalgam by Car. Distance between Srinagar to Pahalgam is 88 km by Road. There are also State transport buses from Srinagar to Pahalgam, as I m not sure on the frquency, I don’t wanted to comment on it and recommend reach by Car for your convenience. The minimum time to reach Pahalgam from Srinagar is 2h 40m.

Best time to Enjoy –
Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonamarg – All these places are located in different directions from Srinagar as you notice in the Map. I would suggest , spend one day for each of these destinations to enjoy , that includes the travel time to reach the destination and return to Srinagar. I personally feel, the Month of March will be enjoyable for Pahalgam . The climate will be very cool and the mountains dressing in white will be a treat to Watch.If you are lover of Gardens , then prefer to go in the month of June.
As far as Kashmir is concerned, 144 is very common and Kashmiri natives seems they are used to it . on our first day visit , we came to know that 144 is imposed on Srinagar from 6 AM to 6 PM and we needed to start our Journey before 6 AM and need to go out of Srinagar City .

In the Month of March, it may not be green, but in the Month of June , it will be colorful

On the way to Pahalgham , we had a short break for Tea. I heard that, there are five rivers that flows through Kashmir. Absolutely there will not be any water scarcity for these people.

—————– Pahalgam will be concluded in Next with Viewpoints
