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.
