Best time to visit Kashmir by month

Kashmir is breathtaking year-round, but each season brings a completely different character to the valley...

Spring (March–May) The most popular time to visit. Tulip Garden blooms in April, temperatures are pleasant, and the whole valley turns green.

Summer (June–August) Peak tourist season. Dal Lake is perfect, Gulmarg is lush, and Pahalgam is ideal for trekking.

Autumn (September–November) The golden Chinar season. Arguably the most beautiful time with warm colors and fewer crowds.

Winter (December–February) Snow covers everything. Gulmarg becomes a ski resort. Cold but magical for snow lovers.
