Autumn Kashmir is pretty short, especially in the winter capital – Jammu. After a scorching July, August brings the humid and restless monsoon and September holds the cranky temperament of the absence of them. It’s only October that bids goodbye to the summer like an old friend and starts embracing the winter like falling in love for the first time.
Lose yourself in the spellbinding autumn hues as they envelope the Heaven-on-earth.
