The cold weather and limited daylight can pose challenges for families, especially with young children. Wet clothing, inadequate heating in accommodations, and icy roads can lead to discomfort and safety concerns. In Gulmarg, temperatures barely rise above freezing in January, making it essential to dress warmly and plan activities carefully. Additionally, winter flights to Srinagar may face delays due to fog or snow, and road access to certain areas like Gulmarg and Sonamarg can be restricted after heavy snowfall.
