What's special
Snowy Mughal gardens if you're lucky, mist on the lake, kahwa and harissa in the old city.
Quick answer
Winter in Srinagar is quiet and atmospheric: misty Dal Lake, occasional snow on the gardens, and the Chillai Kalan cold from about 21 December to 30 January. It's the base for Gulmarg's snow, with heated hotels and the old city's warmth. Snow in the city itself isn't guaranteed; for sure snow, add Gulmarg.
