Kashmir is a wonderful family destination with cool weather, easy sightseeing and plenty for children to enjoy. Here is how to plan a smooth family trip to the valley.

Kid friendly places

Children love the Gulmarg Gondola cable car, Shikara rides on Dal Lake, pony rides in Pahalgam and Sonmarg, and playing in the snow at Thajiwas Glacier even in summer. The Mughal Gardens are easy, open spaces for all ages.

A relaxed family itinerary

A gentle 5 to 6 night plan works best: Srinagar with a houseboat and Shikara, a Gulmarg day with the Gondola, Pahalgam for meadows and pony rides, and Sonmarg for the glacier. Keep drives moderate and days unhurried.

Best season for families

June to August is ideal, with pleasant weather and open high routes. Spring is good for tulips, and winter suits families who specifically want snow.

Tips for travelling with children

Carry light layers, snacks and any regular medicines, choose comfortable family hotels, and keep the schedule flexible with rest time. A private cab lets you stop whenever the children need a break.
