Why? Because it will be different for each individual and depends on what kind of trip were they looking for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that being said, there is a certain time of the year when every tourist destination receives the majority of its share of visitors. The weather is usually the driving factor behind it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that logic, the months of April, May, and June are mostly considered to be the best time to visit Pahalgam but will that time suit you as well? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For any other details on visiting Pahalgam like how to reach, what to see, where to stay, and itinerary planning, please take a look at

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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 tourism-related activities and businesses too would be up and running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keep in mind though that May and June is also the time when it gets a little crowded in Pahalgam. With vacations in school, a lot of families plan their trips at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amarnath Yatra starts in July and it is not a good time to be in Pahalgam unless you wanted to go to Amarnath. This is because of two reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first one is that it is going too crowded with devotees in late June, July, and August. Secondly, it will also be the monsoon season which means a lot of rain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a photographer\u2019s point of view, visiting in April or September would be best because vistas are best in these months. November is overall a bad month because the scenery is very dull at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For a budget trip, visiting in August or November will be perfect. If you want to avoid the crowd, plan for either September or October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-kashmir-a-complete-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir &#8211; A COMPLETE Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Not_to_Visit_Pahalgam\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>When Not to Visit Pahalgam?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The time of Amarnath Yatra will definitely be the one. At the time, the entire place is filled with devotees and people wanting to undertake the Amarnath Yatra. This also means that accommodation will get rarer and costlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The months of July and August when monsoons can wreak havoc would be another bad time. A trip in the weeks of 26th January and 15th August too can be problematic due to increased security in Srinagar and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, a trip in the weeks of Eid al-Fitr (Meethi Eid) or Eid al-Adha (Bakra Eid) is also not suitable. It may get hard for you to find a hotel as the workers go on leaves to celebrate the festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visiting in the month of Ramzan too will leave you traveling through a sleepy valley everywhere as people fast and spend most of their time praying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last but not least, keep an eye on the news, and if there is any news of trouble in Kashmir, best postpone your plans for another time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37517 size-full\" title=\"best time to visit pahalgam\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1.jpg\" alt=\"best time to visit pahalgam\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/best-time-to-visit-pahalgam-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Pahalgam\"><\/span><strong>About Pahalgam<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you ever imagined waking up and hearing the symphony of the flowing river and galloping horse? You walk to the window and see the lush green pine trees and the snow-capped mountains. It&#8217;s Pahalgam, a family destination in the beautiful state of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pahalgam is a tiny town situated in the heart of Lidder valley, formed by the Lidder River. This small town is more like a family and honeymoon destination, where you can roam around the small town exploring the small markets, trying pony rides, relaxing at the club park, and many more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The name Pahalgam literally means a village of Shepherd. It is located at a distance of about 90 kilometers from the city of Srinagar and the journey can easily be completed in 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though it is a small town, you could stay in Pahalgam for days or even weeks. Each day has something new to show you and every month has something to offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Be it the bone-chilling winter or the heart-warming summers or the cool monsoon, Pahalgam has something to offer in each season.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pahalgam_in_Winter\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pahalgam in Winter<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pahalgam witnesses a considerably long and cold winter. The months of December, January, and February are ideal for those who want to experience snow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Extreme cold winds and snowfalls await the visitors and the entire valley gets painted white. A hot Kashmiri Chaai or Kahwa in the morning and a steaming hot breakfast from any small street stall is an indelible experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Temperature lowers to sub-zero in peak winter months so make sure you are geared up for that. A pair of good-quality trekking boots are highly recommended as roads can be slippery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The average temperature ranges from 5 to -5 degrees celsius. It is an ideal time for winter sports like skiing, ice skating, sledding, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/pahalgam-to-chandanwari-srinagar-to-chandanwari\/\"><strong>Pahalgam to Chandanwari Road Trip<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pahalgam_in_Summer\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pahalgam in Summer<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Starting from March to late June, the mountain town offers pleasant weather and is considered to be the most favorable time to visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Snow starts melting by late March and the trees start blooming, flavoring the air with the scent of freshness.

Wet air cleanses the mind filling the body with a heavenly freshness. The average temperature ranges between 10 and 20 degrees celsius and is most humid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, in the months of July and August, it can sometimes rain enough to cause landslides and leave people stranded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember the Kashmir Floods of 2014? It left several thousand Amarnath Yatris started in Pahalgam and the nearby areas. So do remember that before you plan a trip to Pahalgam in either July or August.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Time_to_Visit_Pahalgam_with_Family\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Best Time to Visit Pahalgam with Family<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As I have mentioned, Pahalgam is a family destination.
