October 2026 planning window:<\/strong> The 2026 autumn is at its peak right now \u2014 Srinagar sits at 22\u201323\u00b0C days (dry, bright, no humidity), Pahalgam’s Lidder Valley is rust-and-gold, and Gulmarg’s upper meadows catch their first snow dustings by the end of this month. November is the transition into winter proper (12\u201315\u00b0C in Srinagar, snow a realistic hope in Gulmarg by month-end). December onwards is prime winter \u2014 book 4\u20136 weeks ahead for the Christmas\u2013New Year window, when Gulmarg sees 100% occupancy. Kashmir tourism is at record levels in 2026, with no central or state travel restrictions in force for the standard tourist circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
