Nestled in the heart of the Kashmir Valley, Pari Mahal (also known as The Angels' Abode) is a historic monument that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Dal Lake and Srinagar city. The best time to visit Pari Mahal is during the spring and summer seasons, from April to June. During these months, the weather in Srinagar is pleasantly warm with temperatures ranging from 14°C to 30°C, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The spring season also brings a vibrant bloom of flowers, enhancing the beauty of the terraced gardens that Pari Mahal is famous for. Tourists can enjoy the lush greenery, blooming tulips, and the overall splendor of the Kashmiri landscape without the deterrent of winter’s chill or the heavy downpours of the monsoon season.
It is also worth considering a visit during the autumn season, between September and November. During this period, the weather remains mild and the changing colors of the foliage provide a stunning backdrop to the historic architecture of Pari Mahal. The air is crisp, and the skies are usually clear, offering excellent conditions for photography. However, visitors should note that temperatures begin to drop in late autumn, and the evenings can get particularly cold, so packing some warm clothing is advisable. Despite the colder temperatures, fewer tourists during this time ensures a more peaceful experience. Keep in mind that winter, from December to March, can be very cold in Kashmir with the possibility of heavy snowfall, which can make access to Pari Mahal difficult.
