Is Ladakh Apricot Blossom Peak happening right now?

As of today, out of season, returns ~March. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Every spring Ladakh's cultivated and wild apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) burst into pale pink and white flowers, transforming villages and monastery terraces into vivid blossom landscapes.

The season is short and altitude-sensitive, offering prime viewing for roughly 3-6 weeks depending on winter snowmelt and local elevation.
