Dry Winter Season In Kashmir

A helicopter is landing in Gulmarg, a ski destination on 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 experiencing an unexpected absence of snowfall this year. This climatic shift is affecting the tourism sector and could be detrimental to the health of the region's glaciers and water bodies. The lack of snow this season has led to thousands of tourists turning away from the Kashmir valley, either canceling their bookings or deferring them for the coming months.
