Kashmir, often referred to as “Paradise on Earth,” is set to become more magical as the winter progresses. As the temperature is droping and snow is blanketing its majestic mountains, serene valleys, and picturesque landscapes, the entire Kashmir Valley transforms into a winter wonderland that attracts travelers from all around the country and world.
Snow-Covered Attractions
Winter in Kashmir gives breathtaking scenes straight out of a fairytale. The iconic Dal Lake in Srinagar glistens with icy beauty, while shikaras (houseboats) remain a sight to behold amidst the snow. The Mughal Gardens, although dormant, are a treat for those who appreciate serene winter landscapes.
For adventure seekers, Gulmarg is the ultimate winter destination. Known as the “Heartland of Winter Sports in India,” Gulmarg offers everything from skiing and snowboarding to gondola rides that provide panoramic views of the snow-covered Himalayas. Another must-visit spot is Pahalgam, where the snow-covered valleys and frozen rivers provide perfect opportunities for photography and leisure walks.
