When:
 April 19th to 30th, 2024
Where: Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, Srinagar, Kashmir
 
Kashmir is the most picturesque in spring because of the flowering tulips. During April, the Tulip Festival attracts a lot of viewers to this place for experiencing the mesmerising colours all around. The festival also features cultural programs, a sale of local handicrafts and Kashmiri folk songs. However, make sure you check with a local about the exact dates for this one, since they do seem to shift about the calendar each year. And yes, one must surely not miss the traditional Kashmiri Cuisine, while here. 

2. The Aoling Festival of the Konyak Tribe

Marking the onset of spring and new year for the Konyak tribe, this one is identified by traditional dances, costumes, food, music, drinks, animal sacrifices and more for a couple for days as well as nights. Not only is the festival to keep you hooked, the terrain and remoteness of the area also tend to cast a spell.
