07 Nov 2026 · Team Flyingbuff
Spring is the most colourful time to visit Kashmir. From late March the Indira Gandhi Tulip Garden blooms, the Mughal Gardens wake up and Gulmarg still holds snow.
How many days do you need?
Six days lets you cover Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonmarg at a comfortable pace.
Where to stay
Spend at least one night on a houseboat on Dal Lake, then switch to hotels in Gulmarg and Pahalgam.
Packing tips
Carry warm layers, waterproof shoes and a power bank. Postpaid SIM cards from other states work, prepaid ones usually do not.
