Can Doodhpathri be combined with Yusmarg in one day?
It is possible but makes for a very long day, since both are in different directions from Srinagar and each already takes a half day round trip on its own. Most travellers do better picking one per day if they want unhurried time at the meadow rather than mostly seeing them from inside the car.
