For practical planning:


Ask the property whether it provides:

  • Thermal inner wear (upper and lower) — at least 2 sets
  • Fleece mid-layer or wool sweater
  • Heavy down jacket or parka (waterproof preferred)
  • Full-length warm trousers or ski pants
  • Woollen socks (multiple pairs)
  • Woollen cap covering ears
  • Heavy-duty gloves (waterproof for snowfall)
  • Muffler or balaclava for neck and face
  • UV-protection sunglasses (snow glare is intense)
  • Hand and foot warmers (available cheaply in Srinagar)
  • Power bank (cold drains batteries quickly)
  • Camera with extra batteries and memory cards
  • Personal prescription medicines — sufficient supply
  • Pain relievers for headaches and muscle aches
  • Cold and cough medication
  • Lip balm and moisturiser (cold air is very drying)
  • Oral rehydration salts

Can I see fresh snowfall and snow-covered landscapes at the same time?

Yes, but they are separate conditions. Fresh snowfall means snow is falling during your visit, while snow-covered landscapes can remain for days after earlier snowfall. You can therefore see plenty of snow without experiencing live snowfall.
