Kashmir Tourism welcome
you to enjoy the beauty of this God blessed land. Kashmir is one of
India's most beautiful and tourism popular regions and has been since the
time of the great Moghul emperors. It’s probably most famous for the
houseboats on picturesque Dal Lake ,you’ve not really been to Kashmir
until you’ve stayed on one - but there’s a lot more to the Kashmir Valley
than just lazing on board.Jammu Kashmir is the first Himalayan state of
India, but its not another hill land of India. Jammu and Kashmir is really
three regions: the foothill plains of Jammu; the lakes and blue valleys of
Kashmir rising to alpine passes, the high altitude plains and starkly
beautiful mountains of Ladakh, which lies beyond those passes. It's enough
to move one to poetry. Among the most attractive part that this Indian
state has is the adventure oppurtunities that can be seggragated into
trekking, mountaineering and Trans Himalayan Jeep Safari.

Climate is the one basic
factor, which makes the state of J&K hard to resist for tourists. While
winter is not exactly a suitable time to visit the Ladakh region, but for
trekkers and adventurers May to September are blissful months, opening
numerous trekking opportunities to explore this remote region. Jammu, the
winter capital of the state is at its best after October, just like
Kashmir is an ideal destination for summers. Anyway sports enthusiasts
will get plenty of options to try out their favorites winter sport
activity here.Jammu -Situated at a height of only 300 metres, Jammu has
the three-season weather typical of the Indian plains. The best time of
year in Jammu is the cool season from early October to about
February-March. In October, immediately after the monsoon finishes, the
weather will be cool and fresh, the skies clear and dust free. Later in
the cool season, December and January in particular, it can get quite
crisp with temperatures as low as 50 C at night.In February-March the
temperature starts to climb as you enter the hot season. By April, May and
June it gets uncomfortably hot and dry. Since there has been no rain for
some time the air is very dusty and the temperature scarcely seems to drop
at night. Towards the end of the hot season the mercury sill sit at 400 C
or above for days on end. Finally, the monsoon arrives around the
beginning of July; the dust is immediately cleared out of the air although
for some time the temperature change is merely from hot and dry to hot and
sticky.
Kashmir -At an altitude of over
1,000 metres the Kashmir Valley is much cooler than Jammu and it is at its
best in the months of May-June for visiting to get a respite from the hot,
airless plains. At this time the daily temperatures are around 200 C, a
delightfully cool contrast to the 400 C temperatures common on the plains
to the south. In July and August it can get rather hotter and the valley
somewhat humid and still - the simple solution is to move out to one of
the smaller resorts that lie around the valley rim. At places like
Srinagar Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonamarg the altitude ensures cooler
weather even in mid summer.
