Kashmir in March
March is the turn of the season. Almond trees blossom in Srinagar's Badamwari garden below Hari Parbat, snow lingers in Gulmarg, and the tulip garden usually opens at the end of the month. Days can swing between sun and cold rain, so pack a waterproof. Hotel prices are still low until the tulip rush begins, which makes the first three weeks good value.
