Best Time to Visit
Bahrain's humid summer heat pushes many families toward Kashmir between May and September for cooler, drier air. December to February brings snow, a genuine novelty for a country where it never gets cold enough to freeze water outdoors.
Groups of extended family travelling together should book houseboats and Gulmarg hotels early, availability tightens fast during Gulf school holiday periods.
