How does one describe Kashmir? This Kashmir travel guide will show you exactly why this is heaven on earth, as said in mythological language. Imagine peaceful lakes surrounded by mountains, gardens bursting with tulips, and snow-covered meadows. It is a wonderful place to be part of a beautiful painting.

There is just so much to see, right from the places to visit in Kashmir to what you can witness there. A wooden houseboat floating in the Dal Lake; a ride by cable car, taking you atop the snowy mountain peaks of Gulmarg; or perhaps getting lost in Srinagar's busy markets at your leisure. If nature is what thrills you, then things to do in Kashmir are as countless as they could be, including skiing down its slopes during winters and pitching camps under its twinkling summer sky.

Best Time to Visit Kashmir

Most of the tourists have a question for themselves: when is the best time to visit Kashmir? And the answer varies with the type of experience that you would want. The whole of Kashmir transforms with every season.

• Spring: March to May: Perfect if you are an admirer of blooming flowers and fresh air. Gardens in Srinagar bloom like no other and make for wonderful weather to have long walks around.
• Summer: June to August: Summer is a hectic time because, during this period, the temperature is most pleasant and amicable. This is an ideal time for trekking, visiting the Mughal gardens, and moving about in a houseboat on Dal Lake.
• Autumn: September to November: The golden leaves of the Chinar tree make autumn an enchanting season. It's much quieter compared to summer. The weather is crisp, and the skies are clear.
• Winter: December-February: Love snow? Gulmarg becomes a snow-white wonderland, and so it's actually among the best places in India to ski and snowboard.
