Tourists Enjoy Cold Weather In Kashmir

Tourists drink tea at Affarwat peak in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on May 16, 2026. As India experiences an intense heatwave, Kashmir provides a cooler alternative. Thousands of tourists from across the country visit Gulmarg, where temperatures remain pleasant. The meadows and gondola rides are crowded as visitors seek relief from the heat. Pahalgam is also seeing a high number of visitors, contributing to a strong start for Kashmir's tourism this summer. (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto)
