Kashmir is breathtaking year-round, but each season brings a completely different character to the valley...
## Spring (March–May) The most popular time to visit. Tulip Garden blooms in April, temperatures are pleasant, and the whole valley turns green.
## Summer (June–August) Peak tourist season. Dal Lake is perfect, Gulmarg is lush, and Pahalgam is ideal for trekking.
## Autumn (September–November) The golden Chinar season. Arguably the most beautiful time with warm colors and fewer crowds.
## Winter (December–February) Snow covers everything. Gulmarg becomes a ski resort. Cold but magical for snow lovers.
