Quick answer

Kashmir’s trekking season runs from about June to September. Beginners can start with day walks like Aru to Lidderwat (Pahalgam) or the Thajiwas glacier path (Sonmarg), then try a multi-day trek like Tarsar–Marsar with a support team. Always go with registered local guides and check the weather.
