Best Time To Visit Srinagar

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

The best time to visit Srinagar is from April to September. During this time, the whole place is covered with blossoms and looks aesthetically beautiful. Compared to the rest of the places in the country it is quite pleasant in Srinagar during summer which provides much-needed relief from heat and sweating. Not too cold and not too hot, the summer season is the best time to visit Srinagar. One can visit all the major attractions and enjoy the pleasant climate too, between the months of April to October. Not to forget, one of the major attractions in Srinagar, the Tulip Garden, is in full bloom during the month of April. However, the best time to visit Srinagar for snow is from October to March.

Let's take a season-wise look below for the ideal time to visit Srinagar:

April to June (14°C to 30°C): The best season to visit Srinagar is definitely the summer season when the main festival of the place which is the Tulip festival also takes place. Srinagar becomes a whole new charming place in the summer months from April to June. The temperature is quite pleasant and ranges between 14°C to 30°C.

June to September: Monsoon season is not the best time to visit Srinagar. Srinagar hardly witnesses any rain in a particular season, so there is no monsoon season as such. There is autumn instead of monsoon. It is not a good time to plan a visit to Srinagar as there won’t be much for sightseeing and also the natural beauty is less charming as compared to other seasons.

October to March (-2°C to 10°C): Winter is the best time to visit Srinagar for snow. Those who love the white sheet of snow and the snow adventures, then this is the perfect time to go for an excursion to Srinagar. The average temperature during this time is -2°C to 10°C. Some adventures to try out are snowboarding, skiing, walking the Chadar lake trek etc.

Climate in Srinagar

Summer Season in Srinagar

Summer is sweaty, dusty, and irritable for most of us. To escape the intolerable heat of the cities, most families go off to regions lying at a higher altitude. One such place is Srinagar. An event which is not to be missed during this period is the Tulip Festival which takes place in the first two weeks of April. Asia’s largest Tulip garden is in its full bloom at this time and provides eye catching sights with dazzling rainbow colors of the tulip flowers. Also summer would be the best time to visit Srinagar for honeymoon as well.

Monsoon Season in Srinagar

The geographical location of Srinagar is such that it does not have a typical monsoon season. There is hardly any rain and the showers last for a maximum of 10 minutes. However, Srinagar does witness autumn, which is quite uncommon in the Indian subcontinent. This is most undesirable time to visit Srinagar as it does not provide much scope for travelers to explore the popular destinations or to go out for sightseeing. The localites too prefer to stay indoors during this season.

Each season carries a charm of its own during which, the capital city of Srinagar, looks and feels like a heaven on Earth. To make the most of it, the best and the most popular season is that of summer.

Winter Season in Srinagar

For skiers and lovers of snowfall, the best time to visit Srinagar to see snowfall is between October to March. One can enjoy a winter marvel that Srinagar turns into, with temperatures dropping to as low as minus 10 degree Celsius. However, the much talked about and popular Shikara ride would have to go off the list because the Dal Lake gets frozen. For skiers, the slopes of Gulmarg become a paradise during the winter season. Others can enjoy the view of the snow covered slopes and mountains, and even indulge in games like snow balling, rolling through the snow, making a snowman and what not! However, for those who aren’t fans of chilling cold and have a low resistance power to such climate, this isn’t the best time to visit Srinagar.

Georgevarkey's 4 days trip to Srinagar

Overall rating is good. Hotel: Staff: Very Good. Negatves: No room service. No bed coffee, they provide breakfast by 8 am only. Should provide food according to the requirement of the tourist. House boat: Food is not that good. Demands tip. Cab and driver: Good. But the driver doesn't know the city routes well. Doesn't follow traffic rules. Sonamarg and Gulmarg trips and the Shikara ride

Poonamdshukla's 6 days trip to Srinagar

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Anu ( Meikah Associates) during my recent Tour to Kashmir . Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience were truly commendable. Our Driver, Sabbir Bhai was very much supportive and generous. It is rare to find individuals who are as passionate and committed to their work as they are. Her customer-centric approach and genuine care have left a lasting impression on me. You have not only earned a loyal customer in me but also someone who will readily recommend Meikah and TRAVEL TRIANGLE to friends and family. I want to encourage her to continue the excellent work she is doing. Her dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed and are indeed a driving force behind her success. I am confident that she will continue to achieve great things in her career. Thank you once again TRAVEL TRIANGLE for making my tourism experience a memorable one. I look forward to staying in touch and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Warm regards, Poonam shukla

Arvind's 4 days trip to Srinagar

I recently booked a Kashmir trip through Go Rumi Tour & Travels, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Ms. Esha was my tour planner, and she made everything seamless. She was available at all times to address my concerns, which made a significant difference in our experience—kudos to her! The trip included well-chosen hotels, delicious food, and excellent sightseeing. Our driver, Imraan, was exceptional; he was always ready to assist and ensure we had a great time. Overall, my wife and I had a memorable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Go Rumi Tour & Travels for anyone planning a trip to Kashmir, especially thanks to Ms. Esha's outstanding services.
