Spring (late February–March) is a lovely time to visit Lahore: warm, pleasant days (20–30°C), blooming gardens and a fresh feel before the summer heat. It’s historically associated with Basant (the spring kite festival), and the gardens — Shalimar, Bagh-e-Jinnah — are at their best.
Why spring is special
Comfortable weather for full days of sightseeing, flowers in the Mughal gardens, and a celebratory mood. An excellent alternative to peak winter, often with slightly thinner crowds.
Good to know
Pack for warm days and mild evenings. Learn about the spring kite tradition on our Basant history page.
