The Prolonged Dry Spell This Winter Affect The Ski Resort Of Gulmarg

A view of the ski slopes in Gulmarg, located about 55 km from Srinagar, is seen on January 20, 2024, in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. The ski resort of Gulmarg is experiencing a severe blow due to the prolonged dry spell this winter in the Kashmir valley. The once bustling ski slopes are now snowless, causing disappointment among tourists and ski enthusiasts. The absence of seasonal snowfall has led to the cancellation of mass bookings for hotel owners, severely impacting their businesses. This unexpected setback highlights the vulnerability of winter-dependent economies and the urgent need for strategies to mitigate the impact of unpredictable weather patterns.
