Indian tourists take a Shikara ride during a boat rally at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 18, 2025. Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party President Altaf Bukhari leads a boat rally at Dal Lake for the revival of tourism in Kashmir two days after the Jammu and Kashmir government reopens 16 tourist destinations for tourists and locals. Over 40 tourist destinations across Jammu and Kashmir are closed for tourists and locals following the April 22 terrorist attack in Baisaran meadows of Pahalgam tourist destination, 100 km south of Srinagar. The Pahalgam terror 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 occurs 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 tourists 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. Meanwhile, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi tells U.S. President Donald Trump late on Tuesday that a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a four-day conflict in May is achieved through talks between the two militaries and not U.S. mediation, India's senior-most diplomat says. Donald Trump says last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors agree to a ceasefire after talks mediated by the U.S., and that the hostilities end after he urges the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

A foreign tourist disembarks from a boat 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.
