Discover the New Kashmir with JKL Travels: Resilience, Revival & Real Connections

Tap & Konnect Kashmiriyat: Reviving Kashmir Tourism with Culture, Confidence & Care

Following the tragic Pahalgam attack, Kashmir’s tourism sector has come together in a powerful show of resilience and unity, leading with the spirit of ‘Kashmiriyat’—a unique cultural ethos that represents warmth, hospitality, communal harmony, and shared heritage. While the region experienced a record influx of tourists in early 2024, the focus is now evolving toward meaningful engagement, sustainable tourism, and authentic Kashmiri experiences.

Key Initiatives Under ‘Tap & Konnect Kashmiriyat’

• Srinagar-Pahalgam Roadshow for Confidence
  Local and national travel operators, in partnership with JKL Travels, are launching discounted travel packages and themed itineraries to rebuild traveler trust and excitement. Roadshows include meet-and-greet events, live folk performances, and interactive travel fairs across major Indian cities. Visitors can engage with Kashmiri musicians, craftspeople, and chefs, offering a pre-travel taste of the Valley’s magic.
  
• Cultural Revival Through Local Experiences
  Tourists are now being encouraged to explore homestays, participate in handicraft workshops, culinary tours, and heritage walks to truly connect with the local way of life. Experiences such as papier-mâché art lessons in downtown Srinagar, Kangri-making demonstrations in Kupwara, and Wazwan cooking classes are now part of JKL’s immersive offerings. Additionally, newly launched “Village Connect Tours” allow travelers to spend a day in rural Kashmir, engaging in farming, local sports, and traditional music. 
• Adventure Tourism Expansion
  New adventure-centric travel circuits are being introduced by JKL Travels, with a special focus on trekking in Sonamarg, skiing in Gulmarg, and white-water rafting in Lidder River, appealing to thrill-seeking domestic and international travelers. Packages also include ATV rides in Pahalgam, paragliding in Sanasar, and ice climbing expeditions for expert mountaineers. The recently launched ‘Thrill & Tranquility Tour’ combines adrenaline with moments of peace through guided nature therapy and meditation in alpine meadows. 
• Government Investment in Tourism Infrastructure
  With over ₹390 crore allocated in the Jammu & Kashmir Budget 2025–26, efforts are now underway to create sustainable infrastructure, including eco-resorts, digital information centers, and smart tourist management systems. This also includes the upgrading of rural tourism hubs, and development of clean-energy public transport in popular areas. New electric buses between Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Srinagar are slated to be operational by winter 2025.

Why Kashmiriyat Matters in Tourism Revival

• Beyond Footfalls: A Deeper Connection
  While reviving tourist numbers is vital, the broader vision is to foster emotional and cultural connections between Kashmir and its visitors. Every experience with JKL Travels is designed to go beyond the surface—inviting travelers into the heart of the Valley through storytelling, shared meals, and community-led tours. Story nights around bonfires with village elders are becoming popular among younger travelers looking for meaning and memory. 
• Authentic Travel Experiences
  From spiritual pilgrimages to Amarnath, farm stays in Ganderbal, to local cuisine tastings in downtown Srinagar, Kashmir is offering transformative journeys that appeal to mindful and experience-oriented travelers. Special sufi trail packages, language immersion programs, and seasonal village festivals are new highlights for the upcoming year. JKL is also curating heritage mosque and temple trails that celebrate Kashmir’s pluralistic past and present. 
• Community-Led Tourism Growth
  Artisans, local guides, houseboat owners, and small business operators are actively shaping the future of Kashmir tourism. JKL Travels plays a crucial role in linking these communities with global travelers via platforms like www.JKLTravels.com and www.KashmirTravels.in. Additionally, JKL is hosting Kashmiriyat Weekends, a monthly tourism event where visitors and locals co-create art, music, and food. Themed weekends include ‘Flavors of the Valley’, ‘Handmade Kashmir’, and ‘Tales of the Dal’ storytelling circles.

The Road Ahead for Kashmir Tourism

• Public-Private Partnerships
  Continued collaboration between the government and private stakeholders such as JKL Travels is vital to scale infrastructure and services in a sustainable and community-oriented manner. JKL is now part of Tourism Revival Taskforces and Green Himalayas Consortia, ensuring active representation of private visionaries. Joint training programs for rural tour guides, youth tourism entrepreneurs, and local homestay managers are also underway. 
• Marketing Kashmir as a Safe Destination
  With influencer-led video campaigns, drone footage of scenic spots, and real-time safety updates on JKL Travels’ platforms, the region is being repositioned as one of the safest mountain getaways in India. Collaborative digital storytelling with travel bloggers, YouTubers, and wellness influencers is helping shift perceptions globally. Upcoming influencer journeys like “Healing Himalayas: A Retreat in Kashmir” are designed to rebuild trust and curiosity among new visitors. 
• Sustainable Tourism Practices
  Responsible travel is no longer a niche—it’s the norm. JKL Travels integrates zero-waste trekking, eco-friendly stays, and green certifications into its offerings, ensuring that the beauty of Kashmir is preserved for generations to come. Initiatives include tree-planting drives with tourists, river clean-up treks, and solar-powered accommodations. The new Eco-Explorer Program lets travelers earn green badges and rewards for every sustainable activity they complete in the Valley.
