Quick Answer: Summer days in Kashmir are pleasant but evenings are cool, so pack light layers, a warm jacket, comfortable shoes, rain cover and sun protection. Pahalgam and Gulmarg are cooler than Srinagar, so keep a fleece handy.

Do I need special clothing for a shikara ride in summer?

Nothing special, ordinary summer clothing is fine, though evenings on the water can feel a little cooler than on land, so a light layer is worth having if you plan a sunset ride. Closed shoes or sandals with a back strap are more practical than loose flip flops when stepping in and out of the boat.
