Best Time to Visit

For snow and skiing, the best months are from late December to mid-March when Gulmarg is covered in a thick blanket of snow. For pleasant weather, lush green meadows, and activities like trekking and golf, visit between May and September. The autumn months of October and November offer clear skies and crisp air but can be very cold. Avoid the monsoon months of July and August if you dislike rain, though the landscape is very green at this time.
Peak Crowd: December to February for the ski season, and May to June for summer holidays.
Moderate Crowd: March, April, September, and October, which are shoulder seasons.
Low Crowd: July and August due to the monsoon season.
