Kashmir in Spring
Tulips, blooming gardens, and green valley mornings
Spring in Kashmir is a gentle awakening. The valley sheds its winter quiet, Srinagar's tulip gardens reach full bloom, and the surrounding mountains reveal their green underskirts beneath slowly retreating snow lines.

What to expect in spring
March through May is one of the most visually rewarding times to visit Kashmir. The famous Tulip Garden in Srinagar typically opens in late March or early April, drawing visitors with Asia's largest tulip display. Beyond the gardens, the entire valley transitions into shades of green, orchards blossom across Pahalgam and Shopian, and the weather is comfortable enough for extended sightseeing. Spring is ideal for travelers who want lush scenery, moderate temperatures, and a relaxed travel pace without the summer rush.
Weather
