Quick answer

Most foreign nationals can visit Kashmir on India’s tourist e-Visa. On arrival in Srinagar you may be asked to fill a short registration form at the airport, and hotels register your stay (Form C). Some border areas (like Gurez) are restricted, and Ladakh’s Nubra and Pangong need a Protected Area Permit. Check your government’s travel advice and carry insurance.
