Best time to visit
April to June suits Rampur travellers escaping the Rohilkhand region's summer heat, with the added draw of Kashmir's spring gardens in full bloom. Autumn, September through October, appeals particularly to those interested in the historical and architectural side of the trip, when milder weather makes old city walks more comfortable.
If Rampur's Raza Library and Nawabi architecture interest you, request a slower, guided walk through Srinagar's old city rather than a quick drive-through, the wooden latticework and courtyard houses reward a closer look.
