Kashmir in November 2026: Weather, Snowfall & Travel Guide
Detailed guide to visiting Kashmir in November 2026. Understand winter onset weather, chances of snowfall in Gulmarg, clothing essentials, and cost-effective holiday packages from Mumbai.

What Is Kashmir Weather Really Like in November?

November in Kashmir is the bridge between autumn and full winter. Daytime temperatures in Srinagar and Pahalgam range between 12°C and 16°C under bright blue skies, while night temperatures drop sharply to 0°C to 4°C. Mountain peaks surrounding the valley receive their initial heavy snowfalls.

For travellers who want to touch real snow without facing the freezing sub-zero temperatures and icy road blocks of January, taking the Gulmarg Gondola to Phase 2 (Apharwat Peak at 13,780 ft) in November offers high probability of snow walking.

Heating is the most important factor when choosing hotels in Kashmir during November:
