Snow-capped Mount Mahadev, also known as Kohe Jabbar, the highest peak of the Zabarwan Range and the highest point in Srinagar, is seen under dramatic clouds from Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 16, 2026. Glaciers across the Kashmir Himalayas have shrunk rapidly over the past several decades as rising temperatures, reduced snowfall, and changing weather patterns accelerate ice loss in the region. Recent scientific studies indicate that some glaciers, including the Thajiwas Glacier in Sonamarg, have lost nearly 88 percent of their ice volume, while broader research suggests Kashmir has lost nearly 25-30 percent of its glaciers over the last six decades. Climate experts and international reports warn that the rapid retreat of Himalayan glaciers threatens rivers, agriculture, ecosystems, and water supplies for millions across South Asia.
