Kashmir’s popular tourist spots, Gulmarg and Sonamarg, received fresh snowfall overnight, officials reported on Tuesday. The snowfall primarily covered the higher parts of the valley, creating beautiful scenery. This new snow also caused some issues with travel, particularly along the Zojila section of the Srinagar-Leh national highway. Despite the travel problems, many people welcomed the overnight snow, especially given the recent cold weather.
The snowfall also helped to raise the minimum temperatures across the Kashmir valley, offering some relief from the severe cold. While some areas experienced travel difficulties, this combination of new snow and improved temperatures should attract visitors eager to see the area’s beauty. Locals, too, are expected to enjoy the improved weather conditions.
“Officials noted that snowfall also occurred along the Zojila section of the Srinagar-Leh national highway.” These areas, which are famous for their scenic views, now have a fresh layer of snow, creating a winter-like scene. The recent weather conditions will likely have an effect on local tourism, particularly in the next few days, as people travel to experience the fresh snowfall.
