Spring in Kashmir: Tulip Garden and Cherry Blossoms
Spring (March-May) brings Kashmir to life. Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar displays over 1.5 million tulips across 70+ varieties. Open only in April for 2-3 weeks. Cherry and almond blossoms blanket orchards in Badamwari and Naseem Bagh. Mughal Gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Chashme Shahi) are at their best. Temperature is pleasant (15-25°C). Book early, peak season prices apply. Best photography opportunities. Celebrate local spring festivals. Markets overflow with fresh fruits. Perfect time for houseboats and Shikara rides. Fewer tourists than summer. Carry light woolens for evenings.
