The Gardens of Babur, also known as Bagh-e Babur, are most splendid during the late spring and early summer months, typically from April to June. During this period, the climate in Kabul is moderately warm with less rainfall, offering a comfortable environment for exploring the outdoors. The gardens come to life with an array of blooming flowers, lush greenery, and the fragrance of roses and other flowers filling the air. Visiting in the late spring ensures you'll witness the garden in full bloom, with the roses in particular being a prominent aspect of the garden's beauty. Moreover, the clear skies and pleasant weather allow for uninterrupted strolls through the terraced gardens and opportunities to enjoy picnics or leisurely walks along the water channels.
In contrast, the summer months from July to August can be considerably hot, which may affect the comfort of daytime visits. However, the evenings are cooler and provide a delightful ambiance for those who prefer to avoid the midday heat. Autumn, from September to November, is another pleasant season to visit as the temperatures begin to cool, and the gardens take on golden hues with the changing colors of the foliage. While winter months from December to February can be extremely cold and might not offer the lush scenery of other seasons, the snow-capped surroundings do bestow a unique charm upon the landscape. Therefore, planning your visit during the late spring will ensure the most vibrant experience, but other seasons also hold their distinct appeal.
