It\u2019s a short trek away from the main area, and you\u2019ll barely find any tourists there. Pack some kahwa (Kashmiri tea), grab a book, and let the cool May breeze do its magic.

The funny part? Hardly any tourists go there. The valley is massive, and you\u2019ll feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The best part of visiting in May?

The place has a fascinating history\u2014it used to be an army firing range! Now, it\u2019s one of the most peaceful places to pitch a tent. The night sky here in May is crystal clear, perfect for stargazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"6-gurez-valley-internetfree-bliss\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Gurez_Valley_%E2%80%93_Internet-Free_Bliss\"><\/span><strong>6.

There\u2019s barely any network, which means you\u2019ll actually have to talk to the people you\u2019re traveling with (shocking, right?). The Kishanganga River adds to the charm, and the wooden houses make you feel like you\u2019ve stepped into another century.

It\u2019s not just a historical place; the Mughal gardens here are far less crowded than the ones in Srinagar. Sit by the springs, and you\u2019ll understand why the Mughals were obsessed with this place.

That\u2019s Gulmarg in May for you. The place is still dusted with snow at higher altitudes, which means the Gulmarg Gondola is still very much a thrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re lucky, Phase 2 of the Gondola ride (up to Apharwat Peak) is still operational. And trust me, even if you don\u2019t ski, standing up there with wind in your face, ice under your feet, and not a single skyscraper in sight\u2014it\u2019s like rebooting your brain.Looking for a peaceful stay? Consider booking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/jammu-and-kashmir\/villas-in-gulmarg\"><strong>villa in Gulmarg<\/strong><\/a>\u2014some of them are tucked away in quiet corners with bonfire pits and wooden interiors that smell like pine and nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"9-pahalgam\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Pahalgam\"><\/span><strong>9. Pahalgam<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam.jpg\" alt=\"Places to visit in Kashmir\nthings to do in Kashmir\nKashmir tourism\nKashmir travels\nthings to do with family\" class=\"wp-image-21814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam.jpg 910w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/pahalgam-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Gulmarg is the cool sibling that snowboards, Pahalgam in May is the one that takes long walks and writes poetry in a journal. The weather is comfortable\u2014perfect for walking, and more importantly, for walking aimlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While most guides will push you toward Betaab Valley (and sure, it\u2019s worth a picture), the real magic is in the smaller, unexpected spots. Ever heard of Aru village? It\u2019s like a wallpaper come to life\u2014but with goats. You can ride ponies up to meadows that don\u2019t even have names, and that\u2019s the fun part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also this one walnut tree behind a local bakery (ask anyone\u2014they\u2019ll know the one). The bread there is baked in a clay oven, and tastes best when you eat it leaning against that tree, watching kids play cricket with sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes, for the love of your knees, don\u2019t miss Lidder River. But don\u2019t just take pictures. Get your feet in the water. It\u2019s like a surprise slap of winter in the middle of spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accommodation tip: Go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/jammu-and-kashmir\/villas-in-pahalgam\"><strong>villa in Pahalgam<\/strong><\/a> that lets you hear the river at night. White noise machines? Who needs them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"10-sonmarg\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Sonmarg\"><\/span>10. <strong>Sonmarg<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp.jpg\" alt=\"Image credit Wvdp via Wikimedia\nThings to do in Kashmir\nPlaces to visit in Kashmir\nKashmir in Summer\" class=\"wp-image-21815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp-370x254.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp-770x529.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Wvdp-150x103.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sonmarg in May is a wildcard. It can still snow, or you can get sunburnt\u2014sometimes both in one afternoon. That\u2019s the fun of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A must-do is the walk (or pony ride) to Thajiwas Glacier. It\u2019s not just a glacier; it\u2019s where you\u2019ll end up getting into an impromptu snowball fight with complete strangers. It\u2019s where people giggle like children because something about being surrounded by snow in May short-circuits your grown-up brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now here\u2019s something few will tell you: the local boys rent sleds made from plastic jugs and string. Forget fancy equipment; this is the OG version of snow adventure. Ride it once and you\u2019ll remember it more fondly than your first roller coaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, grab some fresh trout. There are families who grill it roadside with just salt, chilli, and lemon. You\u2019ll smell it before you see it. And once you taste it\u2014yep, every other grilled fish will seem pretentious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spend a night in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/jammu-and-kashmir\/villas-in-sonmarg\"><strong>villa in Sonmarg<\/strong><\/a> if you can. At night, the sky goes full galaxy mode. If you\u2019ve never seen the Milky Way with your own eyes, this is the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kashmir in May 2025 is different from the rest of the year. The snow has melted just enough to make travel easy, but it\u2019s not yet peak tourist season, so you won\u2019t feel like you\u2019re in a crowd. The flowers are at their brightest, the rivers are full, and the air is just the right mix of cool and warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Kashmir summer travel guide isn\u2019t about ticking off famous spots; it\u2019s about finding places that feel special, even if you\u2019ve been to Kashmir before. So, pack your bags and head to the best places to visit in Kashmir in summer, stay in a luxurious private <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/jammu-and-kashmir\/villas-in-kashmir\">villa in Kashmir<\/a>, and\u2014just don\u2019t tell everyone, or these hidden gems won\u2019t stay hidden for long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=User:BeeWas&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">BeeWas<\/a> via Wikimedia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: In light of the recent tragic incident in Pahalgam, we strongly advise travellers to pause all non-essential travel plans to Kashmir until further notice.
