Quick answer
July is Amarnath Yatra month: in 2026 the Yatra ran from 3 July to 28 August, with pilgrims using the Pahalgam and Baltal routes. That makes Pahalgam and Sonmarg busy, with convoys and security checks. Monsoon rain affects the Jammu side more than the valley. It's a great month for Ladakh and a fine one for Srinagar and Gulmarg.
