Will my SIM work in Kashmir?
Postpaid connections generally do. Prepaid SIMs from outside the region have historically not worked on roaming, so check with your operator before you travel.
Can I buy a local SIM?
It is possible with proper ID and paperwork, though it takes time. Your hotel or driver can advise on the process.
How is internet coverage?
Good in Srinagar, moderate in Gulmarg and Pahalgam, and patchy in remote valleys like Gurez or high passes. Do not rely on live navigation in the mountains.
