Jammu and Kashmir also has some amazing festivals that people here love to celebrate. You'll find people out dancing in the spring with Baisakhi, while Lohri lifts the mood during the cold winter months.
Festivals of Jammu and Kashmir are something else. Take a stroll through any neighbourhood on Shivratr, and temple bells ring from every corner. Eid is about wonderful food and families coming in from far-off places. When Diwali comes, every house in this land is aglow with stunning lights.
Here's the thing that gets us - people don't simply let you observe their festivals, they draw you in. Before you know it, you're sharing a meal, picking up dance steps, and laughing with strangers who are treating you like close friends.
Want to know the best things to do in Kashmir? Time your trip with these festivals. You'll get way more than pretty mountain views - you'll understand what makes this place tick.
