Best Time to Visit Srinagar

April to June

With a temperature of 8°C to 30°C, this window is perfect for comfortably covering Srinagar. Cool mornings and warm afternoons with great visibility make this a suitable window for outdoor-heavy itineraries, making it a peak booking window for Srinagar group packages. Due to the high traveller demand of this season, prices are all inflated by 20-30%.

• Highlights: Tulip blooms at Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden (March-April), gardens in full bloom

July to September

If you don’t mind the occasional rain, this is a great window for a Srinagar trip with a temperature of 15°C to 32°C. With no inflated prices, this offers a good travelling season for itineraries balanced with both indoor and outdoor activities. However, this season also poses some landslide risks on highways, especially towards Pahalgam and Sonamarg.

• Highlights: Deep green valleys, apple orchards at their peak, fewer crowds

October to November

This is another one of Srinagar’s peak seasons with a temperature of 5°C to 25°C. The weather is dry and crisp, gradually getting cooler by the day. With clear skies, this window is great for outdoor sightseeing, especially because of the fewer crowds, making it perfect for travellers who like slow-paced, quiet trips.

• Highlights: Chinar trees across Srinagar turn into golden-red shades, best photography window, misty Dal Lake mornings, good deals on hotel pricings

December to February

For travellers seeking to experience snow, this is the perfect time to travel to Srinagar. However, with a temperature of -2°C to 12°C, the weather is cold, and the nights are often freezing. On heavy snowfall days, visibility is minimal, along with limited mobility, with increased risks of landslides and road blockages.

• Highlights: Snow-covered Srinagar and its surroundings, frozen Dal Lake edges, Gulmarg access for skiing, and a 20-30% discount on hotel pricing due to low traveller demand

Best Places to Visit on a Srinagar Tour

Here are the best places to visit in Srinagar during your tour:

• Dal Lake: Also known as ‘Srinagar’s Jewel’, it’s an 18-22 km² lake located in Srinagar at a height of 1,583 metres. Surrounded by Mughal Gardens and Zabarwan mountains, Dal Lake is famous for houseboats and shikara rides amidst the floating gardens (rad).
• Shalimar Bagh: This is the largest garden in all of Kashmir. Built for Nur Jahan in 1619, it’s located over an area of 31 acres. The ‘Char Bagh’ features 3 descending terraces, each one for a different use, a central water canal, and chini khanas (arched niches, lit up during the evening).
• Nishat Bagh: Built by Nur Jahan’s brother in 1633, the Nishat Bagh offers one of the best views of the Dal Lake. Surrounded by the Zabarwan Mountains, this features 12 terraced gardens, one for each zodiac sign, and is designed based on Persian architecture.
• Shankaracharya Temple: Located on top of the Shankaracharya Hill, this is a common inclusion in most Srinagar family tour packages. Situated at a height of 1,100 ft, you can view the entirety of Srinagar and the Dal Lake from here, making it great for photography sessions. Pilgrims have to climb 243 steps to reach the top, although a road option leading up to the hill is also available now. No phones or cameras are allowed inside, with strict monitoring.
• Lal Chowk: Srinagar’s main commercial hub, known for its Tilla work, which is basically embroidery done using gold or silver thread. The detailing of the work is striking and requires a high level of craftsmanship to produce over a period of several weeks. Additionally, the Koker Bazaar here offers the best dry fruits in Srinagar.

Best Things to Do in Srinagar

Srinagar offers a plethora of experiences suited for both budget-conscious travellers and luxury Kashmir trips with a Srinagar-specific focus.

Here are the best things to do on a Srinagar tour:

• Dal Lake and Shikara Experience: This is one of the main attractions of most Srinagar tours. Riding a traditional Kashmiri boat while it cuts through the clear water, reflecting the golden sunlight, makes for one of the most memorable experiences.
• Houseboat Stays: If you want to have slow-day experiences and want to focus on leisurely activities, a houseboat stay is perfect for you. Thrillophilia only books houseboat properties through trusted and authorised sources to prevent any issues during your stay.
• Old City Coverage: Exploring the old city of Srinagar is something that even attracts habitual Srinagar travellers, let alone first-timers. If you want a more atmospheric experience of Srinagar’s heritage, the wooden architecture and the narrow lanes surrounded by a lively atmosphere are the perfect way to experience it.
• Weaving Workshops: You can opt for a carpet-making or weaving workshop where artisans themselves teach you about their practice, how it’s done and how to do it.
• Traditional Meal Experience: Go for a multi-course traditional meal experience with a Kashmiri wazwan meal
