On the ground

Sartaj's tips for Yusmarg Meadow Cottages

What a local would tell you before booking this one.

  1. 1

    Carry cash — there is no ATM

    Yusmarg gets a fraction of Gulmarg's visitors for a meadow that is arguably prettier in summer. Go before that changes.

  2. 2

    Go before it changes

    There is no ATM and card acceptance is unreliable. Draw cash in Srinagar before you leave.
