Best Time to Visit Kashmir from Delhi

Your time of departure for a Kashmir trip from Delhi decides your entire trip experience. Here is a guide for you to better understand Kashmir’s seasons:

April to June

With a temperature of 8°C to 30°C, this window is perfect for comfortably covering Srinagar. Cool mornings and warm afternoons with great visibility make this the best window for outdoor-heavy itineraries. The water conditions are also stable for shikara rides and overnight houseboat stays. Due to the high traveller demand of this season, prices are all inflated by 20-30%.

• Highlights: Tulip blooms at Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden (March-April), gardens in full bloom
• Festivals: Eid al-Fitr, Tulip Festival (Late March-Early April)
• Best for: First-timers, photographers, family trips to Kashmir, and outdoor-heavy itineraries
• Don’t forget to pack: Light woollens, sunglasses, comfortable walking shoes

July to September

If you don’t mind the occasional rain, this is a great window for a Srinagar trip with a temperature of 15°C to 32°C. With no inflated prices, this offers a good travelling season for itineraries balanced with both indoor and outdoor activities. However, this season also poses some landslide risks on highways, especially towards Pahalgam and Sonamarg. Make sure to get updates before departing there.

• Highlights: Deep green valleys, apple orchards at their peak, fewer crowds
• Festivals: Eid al-Adha, local Sufi shrine gatherings
• Best for: Budget-conscious travellers, couples, slow-paced travellers, balanced itineraries
• Don’t forget to pack: Light cottons, a rain jacket, waterproof shoes and socks, basic medicines for humidity

October to November

This is another one of Srinagar’s peak seasons with a temperature of 5°C to 25°C. The weather is dry and crisp, gradually getting cooler by the day. With clear skies, this window is great for outdoor sightseeing, especially because of the fewer crowds, making it perfect for travellers who like slow-paced, quiet trips.

• Highlights: Chinar trees across Srinagar turn into golden-red shades, best photography window, misty Dal Lake mornings, good deals on hotel pricings
• Festivals: Diwali, Navratri
• Best for: Photographers, honeymooners seeking privacy, slow-paced travellers seeking to avoid the crowds
• Don’t forget to pack: Light jackets, closed-toe shoes, medium woollens

December to February

If you want a complete snow experience, this is the perfect time to travel to Srinagar, as it experiences a temperature of -2°C to 12°C. The weather is cold, and the nights are often freezing with the chances of snowfall. On heavy snowfall days, visibility is minimal, along with limited mobility, with increased risks of landslides and road blockages.

• Highlights: Snow-covered Srinagar and its surroundings, frozen Dal Lake edges, Gulmarg access for skiing, and a 20-30% discount on hotel pricing due to low traveller demand
• Festivals: Christmas, New Year, local winter events
• Best for: Snow experience seekers, budget-conscious travellers (apart from festive windows)
• Don’t forget to pack: Heavy woollens, gloves, caps, woollen socks, heavy scarves, water-resistant boots and socks, moisturiser and lip balm

Best Places to Visit on a Kashmir Trip from Delhi

Here are the best places to visit on a Kashmir trip from Delhi:

Srinagar: The Summer Capital Of Kashmir

Srinagar is the base for most Kashmir tours from Delhi. The evening shikara rides on Dal Lake, exploring the famous Mughal Gardens, and the silence let you experience an environment which is directly in contrast to Delhi’s traffic and noise.

Our expert team recommends making your shikara ride a little less common. In addition to the main lake route, ask your boatman to take you through the inner channels. We promise you, the visuals are worth it.

Gulmarg: The Glorious Slopes of Kashmir

Gulmarg is one of those places that’re beautiful no matter what time you visit. But most travellers choose winter to see the snow-covered slopes of Gulmarg. From the famous gondola ride, the snow below catches the winter sun in a way that makes for most trip highlights.

Our team recommends not taking pony rides where not necessary. They can sometimes be overpriced and rushed, especially if you’re visiting during the peak season. If you can, walk along the meadows to actually experience the place.

Pahalgam: The Starting Point of Betaab Valley

Pahalgam is best suited for all nature lovers. The treks through Aru Valley and Betaab Valley let you experience some of the most scenic landscapes of Kashmir. Its liveliness doesn’t take away from its calm nature and is a common inclusion in most Kashmir packages from Delhi.

Baisaran, a scenic meadow located 5 kilometres from Pahalgam at an altitude of 8,000 feet, is famously known as ‘Mini Switzerland’. Make sure you visit it as early as you can because the late-morning crowd can be overwhelming.

Yusmarg: The Hikers’ Choice

Yusmarg is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Its trails and scenery attract thousands of hiking-loving travellers each year. Even if you don’t seek a hiking-focused trip, Yusmarg works well as a picnic spot and is recommended by our destination experts for multiple family trips to Kashmir. Moreover, as it’s not as crowded as Pahalgam, travellers seeking slow-paced and quiet environments can also explore this.

Many treat Yusmarg as a quick stop. If you’re overwhelmed by the crowds in Pahalgam or Gulmarg, slow down in Yusmarg. Reach early and just unwind for a few hours.

Sonamarg: The Heart of Kashmir

This is the home of the Thajiwas Glacier. A glacier, formed by Himalayan glacial systems, is surrounded by pine forests, meadows and mountains. Some popular treks, like the Vishansar Trek and Krishansar Trek, start from Sonamarg. Keep in mind that weather in this region can change quickly, so it is always wise to carry an extra layer or two in case the temperature drops unexpectedly.

Our previous travellers, who booked New Delhi to Kashmir holiday packages, suggest not relying entirely on digital payments in Sonmarg. Make sure you carry enough cash because the network isn’t always stable.

Best Experiences to Enjoy on a Kashmir Trip from Delhi

These are the best things to do on a Kashmir tour from Delhi:

Dal Lake and Shikara Experience

This is one of the main attractions of most Srinagar tours and a common inclusion in most Kashmir honeymoon packages. Riding a traditional Kashmiri boat while it cuts through the clear water, reflecting the golden sunlight, makes for one of the most memorable experiences of a Kashmir trip from Delhi.

• Best Time to Do It: 5:30 am - 7:30 am in the morning for a quiet, peaceful experience. 5-7 pm for sunset’s golden light, but expect higher pricing and crowds.
• Pricing: INR 700-1,500+ depending on duration, coverage, and season

Houseboat Stays

If you want to have slow-day experiences and want to focus on leisurely activities, a houseboat stay is perfect for you. Thrillophilia always arranges for houseboats that are verified for their quality and registered as a legitimate property to ensure you have a safe and comfortable stay.

• Pricing: Budget options range from INR 1,000 to INR 5,000 per night and are often shared, while mid-range stays will cost you INR 4,000-10,000. Luxury stays range from INR 10,000 and can go up to INR 25,000.

Gulmarg’s Gondola Ride

The gondola experience is divided into three phases. It begins with the first phase from Gulmarg to Kongdoori, then continues to Aparwat Peak in the second phase. The third and final phase is a chairlift that takes travellers to Mary’s Shoulders, one of the area’s most popular skiing spots.

• Pricing: INR 740-810 for Phase 1 and INR 950-1010 for Phase 2. To avoid the queues, we recommend booking tickets in advance from JKTDC.

Mughal Gardens

Kashmir’s Mughal Gardens zone is home to multiple gardens built during the Mughal Empire over vast areas. Visiting the Garden Circuit on a solo or group tour to Kashmir is one of the main attractions of any Kashmir trip with its intricate architecture, surrounding scenery, and historical significance.

• Highlights: Pari Mahal, Chashme Shahi, Nishat Bagh, and Shalimar Bagh
• Pricing: An average of INR 30 per person

Skiing in Gulmarg

For all adventure seekers, Gulmarg is Asia’s biggest skiing resort outside of Himachal's resorts. The Apharwat Peak offers skiing runs from a height of 1,400 m, providing guided options for both beginners and advanced skiers.

• Best Time to Visit: December to March
• Pricing: Skiing rentals start at INR 1,500 per day and go up to INR 3,000 with various inclusions and guides.
