Tourism Sector In Kashmir, India
Tourists sit in cable car gondola lifts as they pass over the higher reaches of Affarwat, Gulmarg, about 55 km north of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on October 12, 2025. Indian authorities reopen 12 tourist destinations across Jammu and Kashmir, nearly six months after they close them as a precautionary measure following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. At least 26 tourists die on April 22 when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam, in what officials describe as the most serious civilian attack in the region in recent years. The valley, nestled in the Himalayan mountains, now begins to show signs of a tourism revival. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
