If you are looking for a great Kashmir trip, the first question which comes in your mind is
“when to visit Kashmir”? or the ideal time to visit the Kashmir valley. Kashmir is beautiful throughout the year. It is famous for its beautiful and sublime seasons. The best time to visit Kashmir is during the months of March to October. During this period the weather conditions in Kashmir are at their best. This period covers three seasons in Kashmir i.e., spring (March-early May), summers (early May-late August) and autumn (September-November). The blossoms of the different colors of spring flowers and the heavy scent of roses fill the air in mughal gardens. The cool weather of summer mornings, sunrise in the apple orchards and saffron plantations, and the gold and red hues of falling chinar leaves in autumn all provide the ideal time for Kashmir trip. From December to early March is the winter season for Kashmir, when the entire valley wears a white blanket of snow and frost. For those, who enjoy watching snowfall, chilling weather and are interested in skiing and snow activites, then winter is the time to be in Kashmir.
