Yes you can hire the tent

Yes. they have full day package only. for Pahalgam site visits. so they cover everything in 1 day. All the vellys are nearby so. u can visit all in 1 day. Enjoy your trip.

Roads are good with no congestion but it is advisable to hire a taxi because if you want to hire in the mid-way then you won't be able to get one. You have not mentioned the month of travel because when we visited in the month of April itself there was no fresh snow all snow was avalanche snow

Weather will be cold so do carry your winter wear. If you have snow hiking boots do carry them as well.

Weather in May at Pahalgam is pleasant and will get cold in evenings, a pair of jacket will help to make you feel better. Snow is not available at Pahalgam, but can be found at Chandanwadi, one of the valley to be seen at Pahalgam. If you are in pahalgam, please do visit, all 3 valleys, Aru, Betaab & Chandawadi. Also, visit pahalgam valley, kashmir valley & mini Switzerland. Please plan your stay for 2 days at Pahalgam, this will cover all places. Have a safe and happy journey.

you can start. you have to hire the local vehicles​ controlled by the union for going to chandanwari. we did see many outstation vehicles self driven as well. There are plenty of vehicles for hire are available.

I also recommend you Yatharth Travels for your Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra By Helicopter coz for this year we had a good experience with Yatharth Travels.. i will recommend you Mr. Mahesh, he is highly experienced person and having all the informations of Yatra.
