Quick answer
August is late summer: warm days, green valleys, and the Amarnath Yatra running until late in the month (28 August in 2026). Rain can affect Jammu and the highway, so flying into Srinagar is simpler. After the Yatra ends, Pahalgam calms down quickly. Ladakh remains excellent all month.
