"Other attractions at Kashmir" Gulmarg Things to Do Tip by victorwkf

Besides Gulmarg, there are good attractions in the surrounding areas of Kashmir. They are as follows:

- Srinagar: This is a beautiful lake city and the gateway to Kashmir. More tips and photos are at my VT Srinagar page.
- Pahargam: "The Valley of Shepherds" (with hills, valleys, rivers etc)
- Sonamarg: "The Meadow of Gold" (with Himalayan Mountains, valleys, rivers etc)
- Ladakh: This is a vast and remote area within the Himalayan Mountains many kilometres east of Srinagar. The landscape consists of barren snow mountains dotted with villages and farmland of Tibetan people. The biggest town in Ladakh is Leh.
- Zanskar: This is one of the most remote region in the world occupied by the traditional Zanskar people.

Note that Somamarg, Ladakh and Zanskar have very old and harsh winters, and these places can only be visited during the summer months when the weather is warmer and the mountain passes are free of snow.
