FAQs
Q1: Which month is best for Kashmir in summer?
Answer: Generally June & early July are ideal. By then the snow has melted in most mid-altitude routes, flowers are blooming, weather is warm during day but still comfortably cool in mornings/evenings. May is great too especially for tulip & spring blooms.
Q2: Is Kashmir hot in June?
Answer: Kashmir in June is mild compared to plains. In Srinagar, daytime temperatures might rise to around 28-30°C but evenings are cooler.
