Best time to hold a wedding in Gulmarg
Indian weddings generally take place in the months of October-November, January – February, and April – May, are cast as wedding season. The best time to host your wedding in Gulmarg is during the summer season that means during the April- June, the place having the temperature of about 13-29°C giving a pleasant environment with paradise on the earth hence, could be regarded as the perfect time for a wedding. Moreover, the monsoon approaches the valley during July-September which has minimal rainfall compared to other places of India, instead of decreasing the temperature, it increases the temperature with a pleasing atmosphere with colorful flowers all around. The hosting of weddings during these months needs a banquet hall to have the party. Further, if you are determined to have the wedding in the snowfall background then winter is the appropriate time for you, as the temperature falls to-4°C and is not everyone’s cup of tea. Though getting married in the months of winter i.e. October- March provides you more options to explore including skiing, Christmas in Gulmarg which is uniquely celebrated, and the snow festival there will add tremendous happiness in your wedding plans.
