Weather and snowfall patterns
The Kashmiri winter is traditionally divided into three phases, with the harshest being Chillai Kalan from December 21 to January 31, during which temperatures plunge and the region receives the heaviest snowfall.
Temperature ranges:
December: Average temperatures are between -2°C and 10°C, with nights often dropping below freezing.
January: The coldest month, with average temperatures dropping well below 0°C, particularly at higher altitudes.
February: The cold starts to ease, but significant snowfall continues.

Essential travel tips
Dress in layers: Pack heavy woolens, thermals, insulated jackets, waterproof gloves, socks, caps, and scarves. Layers are crucial for adapting to Kashmir's variable winter weather.
Wear proper footwear: Invest in waterproof, insulated snow boots with a good grip, as roads and paths are often icy and snow-covered.

Be aware of road conditions: Snowfall can cause road closures, especially on mountain passes leading to higher altitudes. Travel plans should be flexible, and checking local weather reports is essential. The Srinagar-Sonamarg route is particularly prone to closure, though the new Z-Morh Tunnel has improved year-round access.
Book ahead: Accommodations with reliable heating are in high demand, so it is advisable to book your stay in advance.
Have backup plans: Due to potential weather-related delays, it's wise to have extra time in your itinerary.
Prepaid SIM cards don't work: Only postpaid mobile connections from outside the region will work. You will have to purchase a local SIM if you have a prepaid one.
Embrace the cuisine: Warm yourself with local delicacies like the savory lamb dish Harissa, the multi-course Wazwan feast, and the spiced, fragrant drink Kahwa.
