Autumn in Kashmir: When Green Turns To Gold

The golden season of Kashmir that paints the valley in the shades of fallen leaves.

The season of Autumn, is the season when green turns to Gold and then to russet and red.

Autumn covers this paradise on earth into hues of gold, yellow, and orange with the shedding of chinar leaves.

During Autumn in Kashmir, while walking down the streets, the rustling of fallen chinar leaves creates a magical sound that one cannot forget easily.

And Autumn in Kashmir gives memories that are filled with shades of fallen chinar leaves, that paint the canvas of the valley into hues of reds and orange before it turns into snow white.
