Dry Winter Season In Kashmir

The ski school is remaining closed due to the ongoing dry weather this winter at Gulmarg, a ski destination experiencing a dry winter day in the Baramulla district of Indian-administered Kashmir, on January 23, 2024. The Kashmir valley, known for its picturesque snow-clad scenery, is facing an unexpected lack of snowfall this year. This change in climate is affecting the tourism sector and could be detrimental to the health of the region's glaciers and water bodies. The absence of snow this season has led thousands of tourists to cancel or postpone their bookings for the Kashmir valley. (Photo by Muzamil Mattoo/NurPhoto)
