Best places to go in Kashmir

Been in Srinagar for 2 days and have had enough of it. We are taking a day trip to Gulmarg tomorrow, but trying to decide where to go the next day. We want to stay somewhere else for 2 days or so. Just looking for somewhere relaxed or quiet. Does anyone have a preference between Pahalgam or Patnitop? We are hoping to ride horses. Also, would love some good suggestions for accommodation in either places. Hoping to spend 500-700 rupees. (Hot water and clean is a must).... if it can be found for cheaper than my intended price, I'm find with that :).

Thanks.

Best places and landscapes are up in the mountains, towards Kargil and Leh. I'm not sure though if the road is still open. Gulmarg area is good either for skiing or trekking, but one day would be a bit short. As for cities you might not find anything better than Srinagar.

The road to Leh is still open, but everyone is saying it's 'just' open and it's a bit risky. I come to India quite frequently, so I'm happy to go to Ladakh another time.

Sonamarg is lovely and worth 2 days. I've been there a couple of times.

I like Pahalgam. Stayed at the "Beach Resort" (maybe 1 km north of the town center, just off the main road, near the river, look for a sign or two) for about a month a year or so ago. The family was really nice and could arrange anything for you.
