Kashmir in Chinar: The Autumn Special
Chinar autumn, Kashmir
Highlights
- Chinar season timing (Oct–Nov)
- Saffron harvest walk at Pampore
- Apple orchard lunch
- Mughal gardens at first light
- Dal Lake mist-morning shikara
The story
For six weeks a year Kashmir turns amber. The giant chinars go red-gold, the saffron fields at Pampore flower purple, apple orchards sag, and the light does things photographers move countries for.
This autumn special paces the classic circuit for golden hours — gardens at first light, orchard lunches, harvest walks.
