Fringed by snow-covered Himalayan peaks, deep valleys and skirted by the gushing glacial Lidder river, the hill station of Pahalgam in Kashmir Valley, is one of nature’s benevolent and beatific expressions. Offering much in the way of awe-inspiring sights, this quaint town is located at the confluence of two streams flowing from the pristine Sheshnag lake and the Lidder river. Perched at a height of 2,130 m, Pahalgam’s journey from a humble shepherd’s village with breathtaking views to a cherished golfing destination, popular across the world, has been exciting.
It starts to snow in Pahalgam towards the end of December and continues well into March. So, if you wanted to see snow then you would have to plan a trip during this time. Chances of catching a live snowfall are more in January but the snow on the ground is more in February. However, if cold weather bothers you then you must avoid visiting anytime before March end. If you just wanted to enjoy pleasant weather and sunny days, then anytime from April to June would be good enough. This is the peak tourist season and all tourist related activities and business too would be up and running.
