You can get guesthouse and lodge options that promise you a comfortable stay.<\/li>\n<li>If you are looking for an off-the-grid experience, you can even go for camping, which will give you a chance to stay close to nature.<\/li>\n<li>If you are hoping to explore restaurants and cafes, you are in for a disappointment. Doodhpathri is where you can enjoy homelike meals at roadside dhabas and guesthouses. You get to enjoy local dishes like Dum Aloo, Rogan Josh, and Haakh. Bread varieties like Lavasa and Girda are also available, which people usually enjoy with Kashmiri Kahwa. A bonus? Some roadside stalls also serve makki ki roti and sarson saag.<\/li>\n<li>Although people usually go to Kashmir via train or flight, if you are self-driving, you can always take it to Doodhpathri. The view will be unprecedented and memorable.<\/li>\n<li>You may not necessarily carry jackets and boots with you. Rental clothes and footwear are available at INR 150 to INR 200. It will save your luggage space and the frustration to carry heavy stuff everywhere.<\/li>\n<li>You can also enjoy snowbiking in the snow in Doodhpathri that starts from INR 1500.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plan your trip from Srinagar to Doodhpathri and make your adventures memorable!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Road travel hits different.
