Some locations are visited, some are investigated, and some are inhabited. Kashmir, though, must be felt. Your recollection of it will be permanently seared by its beauty and appeal. But you can't just stop by and stay to experience this paradise in full. You must try the most incredible things to do in Kashmir; you must do them all. There are numerous activities and sights to see in Kashmir. And here are some unconventional activities and things to do in Kashmir Packages if you desire to do something different from the typical tourist attractions.


#1. River Rafting

One of the most daring, adrenaline-pumping activities in Kashmir is white river rafting. Since these rapids are easy to moderate, rafting in Kashmir shouldn't be too challenging. Additionally, you can go rafting close to Sonamarg. However, Pahalgam's Lidder River white water rafting is more well-known. River rafting requires teamwork cooperation, and you must also adhere to the safety directives provided by the instructors.

#2. Paragliding

There is also the option of paragliding for those people who live for their thrill during your Kashmir Packages. An amazing sight is the valley below, which is grand and lovely. Paragliding is one of the most exhilarating activities in Kashmir because of the distinctive perspective of the lush valleys. In Sonamarg, Sanasar, Bhaderwah, Gulmarg, and Harwan, paragliding is an option. Due to its location along the Grand Mughal Gardens tour route, paragliding in Harwan is the easiest of them to access.

#3. Trekking

Jammu and Kashmir's geography is abundantly covered in mountains, making trekking one of the best activities to do there. Trekking in Ladakh is more well-known, despite being in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. In the Kashmiri valleys, visitors can go on short climbs and excursions.


For nature lovers and adventure seekers, trekking has emerged as one of the top things to do in Kashmir because accessing these stunning lakes requires climbing hills. No matter how far you have to hike, the vista when you reach the summit will undoubtedly take your breath away. Make sure you bring a pair of sturdy yet comfortable shoes for the walk. Bring enough water with you to drink, and apply sunscreen as well.

#4. Skiing And Snowboarding

Kashmir is a chilly region with snow-capped mountains and freezing river streams; visit Kashmir in the winter to see Kashmir at its best. This is one of Kashmir's best wintertime pastimes. Winter has arrived and Sonamarg, Pahalgam, and Gulmarg are all covered in snow. As a result, winter sports are now feasible. Skiing and snowboarding are among the top winter sports in Kashmir, especially if you wish to sate your urge for adrenaline. If you're looking for things to do in Gulmarg while you're on your Kashmir Packages, skiing is a good alternative.

#5. Mountain Biking

Have you ever considered renting a bike and riding through the lush valleys, snow-capped mountains, raging rivers, and still-clear lakes? There is no greater destination than Jammu and Kashmir if this is your notion of fun. This place is perfect for mountain riding because of its setting, scenery, and geography.


The Kashmir Valleys are ideal for smoother rides, but the rough terrain in Ladakh is great for off-roading adventures. Your cycling trip's strenuous treks would up the stakes for excitement as well. Take the Srinagar-Leh highway route that crosses eleven mountain passes if you wish to see the magnificent Himalayas.

#6. Golfing

One of the most popular things to do in Pahalgam is golf. The city is home to a 9-hole golf course that is known as "Plateau" by the locals and is well-known for many things, including its scenic beauty, elevation, and variety of amenities. Players who come to this game pay on an hourly basis. Beautiful photo opportunities may be found everywhere over the Pahalgam Golf course. Don't pass up the opportunity to get your photo taken at this well-known location.

#7. Hot Air Ballooning

Adventure activities in Jammu & Kashmir are many, and they are not simply on land and in the water. It is the ideal location for aero sports as well due to the expanse of the local landforms and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The demand for hot air ballooning is growing, much like that for paragliding.


Your desire to linger longer in this paradise on Earth will be piqued by the hypnotic view of the deep valleys, milky-white streams, snow-capped mountain ranges, and those distinctive slope-roofed cottages from the summit. Hot air balloon rides are frequently taken in Jammu's Suru and Zanskar valleys. The ride lasts around two minutes and ascends to a height of about 3,000 feet.

#8. Camel Safari

Camel safari excursions are among the most well-liked activities in Ladakh. The Bactrian camels with two hump are well-known in this area. From Hundar Village to Diskit, the safari begins in the Nubra Valley and concludes at Panamic Village. We would like to discourage our readers from mounting camels - and for that matter, mounting any non-human animals. The months of July through September are ideal for taking this thrilling safari.

#9. Camping

The three regions of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh are ideal for activities like camping because they provide a lot of hiking opportunities. Visitors who camp in Kashmir can experience the atmosphere of the stunning location. The best place to go for rustic camping is Pahalgam. The most isolated valleys of Daksum, Chatpal, and Karnah are among the other locations.

#10. Ladakh Buddhist Monasteries

The Buddhist monasteries in Leh Ladakh are the most coveted tourist attractions in Jammu and Kashmir since they are so uncommon. One of the most spiritual things to do in Jammu & Kashmir is to tour these Gompas. The following are a few of Ladakh's most well-known monasteries.

Plus One: The Kheer Bhawani Temple

The most well-known temple in the Srinagar district is the Kheer Bhawani Temple. It is a temple for the goddess Kheer Bhavani that was built over a holy spring. Within this spring lies a little marble shrine. On the eight days surrounding the full moon in May. According to legend, the Goddess alters the colour of spring.
