With the first snowfall of the season, Kashmir has transformed into a winter paradise. It was among the most popular tourist destinations in the nation last year, and it appears that it will be at the top once more this year. Covered in layers of new snow, Gulmarg, one of its most popular vacation spots and a winter lovers’ paradise, appears to be a whole other lovely realm. In addition, it is the epicentre of skiing in India, drawing athletes from around the globe.
Visitors come to Kashmir from all over the nation and the world, particularly in the winter when the valley receives a lot of snowfall. There are reports of snowfall in the upper parts of the Kashmir Valley. The area’s temperature has dropped significantly as a result of this recent snowfall. It is anticipated that those who enjoy snowfall would now head straight towards Kashmir, as Diwali vacations are now underway and additional festivals are on the horizon.
In addition to Gulmarg, there are additional patches of snow covering Gurez Valley, Sadhna Pass, Phirkiyan Gali, and Machil Kupwara. According to reports, most locations have received at least 6 inches of new snow so far. There have been reports of snowfall in Kulgam, Peer Ki Gali, Sinthan Top, and the well-known Doodhpathri in Budgam.
Snowfall has also been reported from Baramulla in Kashmir. Due to slick roads, there have also been restrictions on vehicle traffic on the well-known Mughal Road and the Anantnag-Kishtwar Road. Snowfall disrupts daily life in the valley, but it also attracts more tourists to the city, which the residents anxiously await.
