The last week of February in Kashmir is typically a good time to experience fresh snowfall, especially in areas like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg, as the winter season is still in full swing. While snowfall patterns can be unpredictable, it's one of the peak months for winter activity, so there's a good chance you'll catch some snow, particularly in higher altitudes.

In late February 2025, Kashmir experienced unusually warm and dry conditions, leading to a significant reduction in snowfall. This prompted the postponement of national winter games in Gulmarg due to insufficient snow.
Historically, the period known as 'Chilla-i-Kalan'—from December 21 to January 29—is the coldest in Kashmir, often bringing heavy snowfall. The subsequent periods, 'Chilla-i-Khurd' (January 30 to February 18) and 'Chilla-i-Bachha' (February 19 to February 28), typically see diminishing snowfall. Given the recent trends and the typical climate patterns, experiencing fresh snowfall in the last week of February 2025 may be unlikely. However, weather can be unpredictable, so it's advisable to monitor local forecasts as your travel date approaches. Kashmir Faces Unusual Warmth and Dry Conditions in February 2025
