Best Time to Visit
Kuwait's scorching summers, often above 45°C, make Kashmir's June to August cool green season an obvious draw. Winter travel from December to February is the other big pull, largely for the snow experience Kuwait cannot offer.
If travelling with elderly family members, pace Gulmarg activities gently on the first day, the altitude change from sea-level Kuwait can take a little getting used to.

FAQs
Do Kuwait residents need a visa for India?
Non-Indian passport holders apply for an Indian e-Visa online ahead of travel. Indian nationals travel on their own passport as usual.
Is there a direct flight from Kuwait to Srinagar?
No, the route goes through Delhi with a domestic connection onward.
What should we pack for a winter trip to Kashmir?
Heavy thermal layers, waterproof boots, and gloves. Kuwait's climate offers no real preparation for sub-zero temperatures, so most travellers rent extra winter gear locally in Gulmarg too.
For Kuwait's Indian community and beyond, Kashmir remains one of the most accessible mountain escapes available. ViaKashmir can plan your Kuwait to Kashmir trip around your exact travel window.
