If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Kashmir—the land of snow-capped mountains, floating gardens, and soul-soothing silence—you’re not alone. But one question always pops up: Should you go all out on luxury or explore Kashmir on a budget?

The good news? You can do both. If you book with Joy Tour and Travels, we’ll tailor your trip to match your travel style and vibe.

Luxury Stay:

If you’re after indulgence, Joy Tour and Travels won’t disappoint. Picture this: a private balcony overlooking snow-draped pine trees, heated floors, and relaxing spa treatments.

Food: Street Eats vs Fine Dining

Affordable meals:

Grab a hot plate of Rajma-Chawal or Rogan Josh from a roadside dhaba.Kashmiri food on a budget is flavorful, authentic, and always filling.

Gourmet Dining:

Luxury resorts offer curated multi-course Wazwan dinners, organic ingredients, and elegant presentations where every bite will feel like a celebration.

Shopping in Kashmir:

Affordable:

Local markets sell beautiful souvenirs—papier-mâché boxes, wool shawls, and Copy (but pretty) pashminas. Bargaining is part of the fun

 Luxury:

Visit certified shops for real pashmina, hand-knotted silk carpets, and saffron. You’ll pay more, but the quality is top-tier and long-lasting.

So, Which One Should You Choose?

• Go Deluxe if you’re into cultural immersion, flexible travel, and meeting locals.

• Go Luxury if comfort, convenience, and curated experiences matter most to you.
