The seasonal weather in Kashmir impacts travel plans and activities. Winter snowfall can disrupt road access to higher-altitude destinations like Gulmarg and Pahalgam, while heavy snow may lead to delays or cancellations of flights and road closures. Travellers should also be prepared for freezing temperatures during winter, especially in January, which is the coldest month. Conversely, spring and summer provide safer and more comfortable conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
