As temperatures drop, Kashmir’s iconic Chinar trees turn golden yellow, casting an enchanting glow over the valleys, fields, and orchards. JKL Travels invites you to witness these incredible hues, breathe in the crisp air, and capture moments that feel like they belong in a painting. Enjoy the harvest season and explore the local markets brimming with fresh apples, walnuts, saffron, and other seasonal delights.
