Fresh snowfall greets tourists in Kashmir Valley
Srinagar:
Kashmir valley is attracting tourists with its fresh
spell of snowfall. Srinagar is under a thick blanket of
snow with trees, rooftops, roads and parks covered with
snow. Tourists are also thronging hill resorts of Gulmarg,
Pahalgam and Sonamarg to enjoy various snow activities.
One of the tourists from Mumbai was so excited to see
the snowfall for the first time and said, "This is so
beautiful and people should come and see. It is really
heaven. There is snow everywhere. It is natural beauty."
Gulmarg is a favourite destination for those tourists
who are looking for winter sports. Residents said that
the snowfall has brought back cheer to the tourism industry.
"People are coming here in large numbers to experience
the snowfall. They want to go and visit Shalimar garden,
Gulmarg and other places," said Hanief Ahmad, a tourist
taxi driver. Meanwhile, 300-kilometre-long Jammu-Srinagar
National Highway, the connection with the rest of the
country, remained blocked for a second consecutive day
after Kashmir received the heaviest snowfall in recent
years.
