Kashmir in April is one of the most photogenic times to visit, when the valley wakes up for spring. For a few weeks you can see tulips, blossom and snow all in one trip.
This guide covers the weather, what is in bloom, and how to plan an April visit.
What is Kashmir in April like?
Cool, fresh and colourful, with spring well under way.
Days are pleasant for sightseeing, nights are still cold, and the valley is green again after winter. Gulmarg often keeps snow into early April.
What is in bloom in April?
Tulips, almond and cherry blossom, and the first spring green.
The Srinagar Tulip Garden, Asia's largest, usually peaks from late March to mid-April, though the exact window shifts yearly. See our Srinagar Tulip Garden guide.
Can you see snow in April?
Often yes, up in Gulmarg, even as the valley floor turns green.
This mix of tulips below and snow above is what makes April special, and rare among destinations.
How should you plan an April trip?
Book early, because tulip season is short and draws crowds.
The garden opens officially only when the blooms are ready, so confirm close to your dates with the J&K Department of Tourism.
