About Kashmir

Kashmir's reputation as paradise on earth rests on Dal Lake's houseboats and shikaras, the saffron fields of Pampore and the alpine meadows of Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg. Ride one of the world's highest gondolas in Gulmarg, tour Srinagar's Mughal gardens and stay a night on a cedar-panelled houseboat.

Best Time to Visit Kashmir

April to October for meadows and garden visits. December to February for snow in Gulmarg.
