The information in this post might be outdated

Kashmir in August — oh, what a treat to eyes! Pahalgam or the Valley Of Shepherds is pleasant around this time of the year, and you can set off on long brooding walks, all by yourself. Be sure to check out Kolahoi Glacier, River Lidder, Avantipur Temple, Aru Valley. You'll be surrounded by pine trees and coniferous forests, making for a sweet, slow-moving holiday.
