Kashmir is famous for its four distinctive season each with its own peculiar character and charm each extravagantly beautiful. Spring [march-may] seas a million blossoms carpeting the ground. When the weather can be pleasant at 23degree or chilly and windy at 6 degree. In summer [june-August].The whole valley turns into a mosaic of varying shades of green.

In autumn [september-november] the green shades turn gold and then russet andered as the season advances.

Winter [december-march] presents Kashmir in an entirely different mood as the landscape becomes bare. Soon to be covered by the white mantle of the first snowfall, watching the bare, snow covered landscapes from the windows of a heated room is a joy that cannot be described, but only experienced.
