Indian tourists step into a Shikara on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 28, 2025. The Pahalgam attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback comes at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well. At least 26 people are killed 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. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty across the region. The nuclear-armed rivals move closer to military confrontation after Islamabad closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any attempt by New Delhi to interfere with water supplies under a decades-old treaty would be considered an act of war. In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism,'' a claim Pakistan denies.

The streets of Mittenwald, Germany, on September 7, come alive with the sound of bleating as the village's sheep make their way from the high summer pastures back to the safety of the valley. Shepherds, along with their young helpers, guide the large woolly herd through the picturesque violin-making village. The shepherds' boys, dressed in traditional attire, walk confidently alongside the flock, their wooden staffs in hand, ensuring the animals stay on course as they head toward the Schafstadl above the Groblalm. The narrow village streets, lined with charming homes adorned with vibrant flower boxes, seem to step back in time as the sheep fill the road, their fleece a soft, moving sea of white, brown, and black. The villagers watch as the age-old tradition unfolds, a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the people of Mittenwald and their alpine surroundings. This annual event not only marks the end of summer but also reinforces the bond between the community and its pastoral heritage. It is a moment when the village comes together to celebrate the rhythms of rural life, with the shepherds and their boys leading the way, keeping the traditions of their forefathers alive.
