Kashmir has four spectacular seasons, but spring is uniquely magical — when the entire valley comes alive with blossoms after months of snow.
Tulip Festival (late March to mid-April) Asia's largest tulip garden at Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar blooms spectacularly with over 1.5 million tulips in 60+ varieties. The festival typically runs for 2–3 weeks and draws visitors from across India.

Almond Blossom Festival at Badamwari This ancient garden in Srinagar erupts in white almond blossoms as early as February–March — the first sign of spring.
Perfect Weather Spring days are warm (15–20°C), nights are cool, and the landscape is impossibly green after winter snows melt.
