WINTER: December – February (Min -5.0 oC – Max 8.8oC)
Mother Nature is set for hibernation and ideal time for snowfall on one hand, whereas it is great time for winter sports – Skiing at Gulmarg and Himalayan Chakore and Wild Duck shooting. The frozen Dal Lake presents an exciting look, and tourists enjoy ice skating.
Through December, to the beginning of March is winter time, which presents Kashmir in yet another mood. Snow blanketed mountains, plains and white outlined trees like Chinar have a bare look and the beauty of the hued gardens no longer catches the eye, there is an altogether different charm in the surroundings. The snow covered landscapes being watched from beside the warmth of a fire is a joy that cannot be described to anyone who has not experienced it.
Many houseboats and hotels remain open in winter-these are either centrally heated or heated with ‘bukharis’ and electrical blankets maintain the warmth of beddings. Snow Skiing, Skating, Heli Skiing there is so many winter sports are organized by tourism department as well as private group.
