1) If you are travelling alone, it is better if you have a local contact number with whom you can reach out in case of any emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Always keep your passport safe with you during the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Keep your phone charged at all times and have an unlocked phone if possible so that it doesn’t get locked into one network provider in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Carry necessary cash with you as most shops might not accept cards or cheques from foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Carry water bottles with you. Most of the places in Kashmir include trekking before finally trying out other adventurous activities such as River Rafting, Camping, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to explore Kashmir is by going on a solo trip. There are many benefits of going on a solo trip, and here are some of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) You get more time to be with yourself and do things at your own pace, such as deciding to stay longer at a place and enjoying the flavours of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)  You get the opportunity to explore the place in depth and meet locals, venture offbeat tracks, learn new things and be your own photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) You can make new friends while travelling and learn the local dialect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
