Dry Winter Season In Kashmir

Tourists are riding snow scooters in Leopard Valley Meadows, typically inaccessible during winters, in Gulmarg, a ski destination in the Baramulla district of Indian-administered Kashmir, on January 23, 2024. The Kashmir Valley, renowned for its picturesque snow-clad landscapes, is currently experiencing an unexpected lack of snowfall. This climatic shift is impacting the tourism sector and could potentially harm the region's glaciers and water bodies. The absence of snow this season is deterring thousands of tourists from visiting the Kashmir Valley, leading to numerous cancellations or deferrals of their bookings for the upcoming months.
