The dining context
Pahalgam sits within the North India, and its table reflects that, regional ingredients, technique, and heritage recipes specific to this place rather than a generic pan-Indian menu. We treat dining as part of the itinerary, not an afterthought: it is timed into the day and matched to the pace of the leg.
How we curate it
Curation means vetted kitchens, private or semi-private settings, escorted access to the genuine establishments, and dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies, medical, religious) planned in advance, not navigated on the spot. The same standard runs across the wider North India circuit.
