Discovering Snowy Landscapes in Srinagar and Gulmarg During May-June

For those seeking a winter wonderland in the months of May and June, Srinagar in Kashmir presents a unique twist. The region has seen unexpected snowfall, making it a less conventional yet beautifully serene destination. As a local tour operator, I can vouch for these experiences with firsthand knowledge and insight.

Shrouded Snow in Srinagar

First and foremost, it is crucial to prioritize your health and safety while visiting any region. During May and June, Srinagar itself is experiencing an unusual presence of snow. The Zabarwan hills, located just outside the city, are some of the prime locations where you can catch a breath of crisp, cool air. The snow has been present even into the early months of summer, much to the surprise and delight of visitors and locals alike. Just a few weeks ago, there was fresh snowfall in Gulmarg, showcasing the region's unique climatic phenomena.

Exploring Gulmarg

Gulmarg, a well-known resort town in the Western Himalayas, is another destination where you can find snow during these months. The upperwat area is particularly famous for its enchanting views and snow-scapes, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Gulmarg offers serene conditions, perfect for a peaceful retreat in the midst of the snowy landscape.

Preparing for the Cold

Regardless of where you venture, it is essential to prepare for the cool temperatures, even in the summer months. In Srinagar, you will need to wear a sweater or a jacket to stay warm. Additionally, when sleeping, it is highly recommended to use a quilt and a blanket to ensure a comfortable and cozy night's rest. For those insensitive to the cold, a hot water bottle or a heating pad can be a lifesaver.

As someone who currently resides in Srinagar, I have taken to closing all but one window in my room before going to sleep to retain the comforting warmth. The experience is truly tranquil and offers a stark contrast to the bustling city life.

Winter Wonderlands to Explore

For those who seek to experience the beauty of Kashmir's snow-covered landscapes, make sure to include both Srinagar and Gulmarg in your itinerary. Whether it is for a visit or a vacation, the picturesque views of snow in these regions provide a memorable and awe-inspiring experience.
