The entire valley is soaked in freshness and tempting fragrances of flowers and fruits mesmerizesenses to the deepest of thoughts.

As the monochrome winter gives way to spring, Kashmir’s hills and meadows begin to turn into a riot of colours. The ground thaws and tiny colourful flowers raise their heads among the soft, green grass of the meadows, their stalks swaying merrily in the breeze. Overhead, the sky turns into a shining blue. The snow-peaks etched against the horizon dazzle in their white raiment.

The Mughal gardens of Srinagar break out into a profusion of blooms. The countryside is awash with white and pink flowers of almond, peach and cherry blossoms, the air fragrant with their mild scents. The mustard fields join the show with their bright-yellow blooms. Twinkling among the meadows or covering the hill-sides are crocuses, hyacinths, snowdrops, narcissus or daffodils, forsythia, and countless other blooms.
