One of the hardest details of travel is finding the right accommodations for your needs. The majority of the accommodations in the Kashmir region are found in Srinagar and Jammu. Travellers have many options there to suit their wishes and budgets. When choosing between luxury hotels, guesthouses and everything in between you should consider your wishes in lodgings, as well as your budget.

There is a variety of five star hotels available for example the Hotel Grand Palace which began its life as a royal palace for the Maharajas, or the Hotel Hari Niwas Palace another former palace for the Maharajas. Jammu also offers a variety of three and four star hotels for those that love elegance, but also have a budget in mind.

Guest houses are a nice option if you are looking for charm within a budget and Srinagar has a variety of styles houseboats, a ranch, regular guest houses, inns and specialty hotels that offer that little something more. The houseboat guest houses are a unique lodging experience, haggle on the price and be picky on your location.

The most economic lodging options are campgrounds and hostels. These are obviously less than elegant, but a more realistic experience.
