We visited Kashmir in April from Kolkata and the timing turned out to be perfect.Srinagar had that fresh spring feel pleasant weather during the day, chilly enough in the evenings for a light jacket. The tulip gardens were in full bloom, and Gulmarg still had patches of snow which was enough for us since we wanted the experience without extreme winter conditions. everything was manage smottely

April in Kashmir turned out to be the best timing decision we made. The Indira Gandhi Tulip Garden was in full bloom, easily 20 lakh tulips across the terraced slopes with the Zabarwan Range as the backdrop. We took a shikara at 6am when the Dal Lake was perfectly still and reflected the surrounding mountains. Pahalgam meadows were bright green after winter and the Betaab Valley was uncrowded at that time of year. Our houseboat host arranged a Wazwan dinner on the last evening that we are still talking about. The Thrillophilia coordinator had suggested April specifically for the tulip season and it was exactly right. Zero complaints.

Kashmir di kudrat vekhke hairan ho gayi! Pahalgam de betaab valley ne dil jeet litta, aur Gulmarg di snow toh Waheguru di kirpa lagdi si. Thrillophilia ne saanu ek experienced driver dita jo pahadon nu apni hathelee wangu jaanda si. Amritsar toh aaye si, ek dum worth it trip si.

Kashmir 7 days honeymoon - darun! Dal Lake shikara ride at golden hour - amra second baar jabo ei trip e! Pahalgam er green valley te ghora chadha chilo maha romantic. Gulmarg gondola theke snow covered mountain dekhte peyechi. Local wazwan food - ki bolbo, mukhora jol chere dilo! Khub bhalo!

Delhi’s winter is a joke compared to Gulmarg right now! We just returned from a Feb 2026 trip. The snow was 4 feet deep. Thrillophilia’s coordination was life-saving; when our flight from IGI was delayed due to fog, our driver Mushtaq waited for 4 hours at Srinagar airport with a heated car. Staying in a houseboat while Dal Lake was 40% frozen was unreal. They provided 'Kangris' and heavy electric blankets. If you're coming from Delhi, pack your heaviest thermals.

Lucknow ki garmi se pareshan hoke Feb mein baraf dekhne gaye. Srinagar ke log itne acche hain. Sales walo ne itinerary bohot "sorted" banayi thi. Hamara houseboat host ne raat ko Kangri la kar di jab temperature -10 chala gaya tha. Humne Betaab Valley dekhi, bilkul filmy scene lag raha tha. Lucknow waalon ko toh ek baar Feb mein zaroor jana chahiye.
