Quick Answer: For a Kashmir winter, pack thermals, a warm mid-layer, a windproof and waterproof jacket, insulated gloves, a woollen cap and waterproof boots. Snow gear like ski jackets and boots can be rented in Gulmarg, so you need not carry everything.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base layer | Thermal tops and bottoms |
| Mid layer | Fleece or wool |
| Outer layer | Windproof, waterproof jacket |
| Hands and head | Insulated gloves, woollen cap, scarf |
| Footwear | Waterproof boots with grip, warm socks |
| Rentals | Snow jackets and boots rentable in Gulmarg |
How should I layer?
Start with thermals, add a fleece or wool layer and finish with a windproof, waterproof jacket. Layers let you adjust between warm cars and cold slopes.
What about boots and gloves?
Waterproof boots with grip and thick socks are essential, and insulated gloves keep hands usable. Carry a spare pair of gloves in case one gets wet.
What can I rent locally?
In Gulmarg you can rent snow boots, jackets and gear for skiing or snow play, so you can carry less.

What else helps?
Lip balm, moisturiser, sunglasses for snow glare, a power bank because cold drains batteries and hand warmers.

How many layers is too many for a Kashmir winter trip?
Three functional layers, thermal, insulating, and windproof outer, cover almost every situation without over packing. Adding a fourth heavy layer on top usually just restricts movement, since Kashmir’s cold is dry rather than damp, so a well chosen three layer system keeps you warmer than one bulky coat.
