Kashmir changes completely with the seasons, so the right time to go depends on the trip you want.
Spring (March to May)
Almond blossoms, the tulip garden in Srinagar and mild days. Perfect for first-timers and families.
Summer (June to August)
Green meadows in Gulmarg, Sonmarg and Pahalgam, and long evenings on the houseboat.
Autumn is our secret: chinar trees turning gold and far fewer people.
Winter (December to February)
Snow in Gulmarg, frozen streams and a quieter Srinagar. Pack properly and you’ll have the valley to yourself.
