Dry Winter Season In Kashmir

The markets in Gulmarg, a ski destination in the Baramulla district of Indian-administered Kashmir, are remaining deserted on a dry winter day, on January 23, 2024. The Kashmir valley, renowned for its snow-covered picturesque landscapes, is currently experiencing an unexpected lack of snowfall this year. This unexpected climatic shift in the region is impacting the tourism sector and could potentially be detrimental to the health of the region's glaciers and water bodies. The absence of snow this season is causing thousands of tourists to turn away from the Kashmir valley, as they are either cancelling their bookings or postponing them for the upcoming months.
