Kashmir solo — few questions
First time in Kashmir, landing Srinagar 28th May and leaving 2nd June. Planning Doodhpathri, Sonamarg and Gulmarg, Pahalgam across 5 days.
Few things I can’t figure out:
Basing entirely in Srinagar and doing everything as day trips, or worth staying a night in Gulmarg to catch the first gondola before the tourist wave hits?
Which hostel in Srinagar is actually good — not looking for luxury just decent crowd and common area vibes.
And for Gulmarg gondola — if I want to be there at dawn, is it actually possible to find a taxi from Srinagar at midnight or 3am or is that a nightmare?
Anyone who’s been recently or planning around the same dates do share your experience below.
