Best time to visit
Bhagalpur's humid Ganga-side summers make April-June and September-October comfortable escape windows for Kashmir. Craft buyers from the silk trade often prefer autumn, when Kashmiri workshops are working at full pace ahead of the wedding and festival season.
How does Kashmiri pashmina differ from Bhagalpuri Tussar silk?
Pashmina is a fine wool from Himalayan goats worked into shawls, while Tussar is a wild silk fibre, entirely different raw materials but a similarly deep hand-weaving tradition in both places.
Is Patna the only realistic connection from Bhagalpur?
Yes, Patna remains the nearest airport with reliable, frequent Delhi connectivity for this route.
Can we combine sightseeing with a craft shopping trip?
Yes, our standard Srinagar itinerary already includes time in the old city bazaars, we can extend that with a dedicated workshop visit on request.
