10. Kashmir
Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, welcomes tourists who flock to its limpid lakes fringed by snow-capped mountains and green valleys. While western Kashmir is considered unsafe for travel, tourists frequent the eastern side. The Valley offers a wealth of tourism, and some of the most visited destinations are Sonmarg, Gulmarg, Leh, Pahalgam, Patnitop, Yusmarg and Katra. Enjoy the snow at Gulmarg and enjoy shikara rides in the scenic Dal Lake while shopping for crafts and enjoying the local cuisine. Pilgrims visit the shrine of Amarnath, 144 km east of Srinagar, and the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine near Katra. Adventure enthusiasts brave winter chills for the Chadar Trek across the frozen Zanskar River. Visits to Kashmir are advised to be cautious given the political situation. Getting there: Flights to Srinagar operate from Delhi. By train, Udhampur in Jammu is the last railhead, from where you can take buses and private 4-wheel drives into the Valley. Buses to Srinagar also operate from Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
Best time to go: March to October
