Quick Answer: Kashmiri food goes well beyond the Wazwan feast. Try rogan josh, yakhni, dum aloo, haak greens, nadru yakhni, noon chai and local breads at a bakery. Eat at busy local places, ask about spice levels and try dishes in season.

Not sure which package fits your dates and budget? WhatsApp us at +91 94192 44962 and we will build a custom day-by-day plan free, no obligation.
Is Wazwan served at every meal in Kashmir, or only on special occasions?
Only on special occasions, weddings, celebrations, and honoured-guest meals. Day to day, Kashmiri households eat simpler food, rice, vegetables, dal, and lighter meat preparations. If you want to experience Wazwan specifically, it is worth telling us in advance so we can arrange it with a restaurant or hotel rather than expecting it to appear on a regular menu.
