Season by season—what changes, and how to choose your window.

Kashmir shifts character with the calendar. Spring brings blossom and mild days; summer opens meadows; autumn paints chinar gold; winter turns Gulmarg into a snow theatre.

For first-time travelers, April–June and September–October balance comfort and scenery. Ski-focused trips belong to December–March. Honeymoon couples often prefer shoulder seasons for softer light and quieter stays.
