The recent snowfall has not only enchanted locals and tourists alike but also sparked renewed hopes for a thriving winter tourism season. Join us on a journey through the snow-clad beauty of Kashmir, and let JKL Travels be your guide to an unforgettable winter adventure.

A Snowy Welcome in Gulmarg

Gulmarg, a jewel in Kashmir’s crown, witnessed its first snowfall of the season on Saturday. The ski resort town was adorned with an inch of pristine white snow, turning it into a picturesque paradise. The fresh snowfall brought joy to tourists and locals, marking the beginning of an exhilarating winter season.

“We witnessed light snowfall on the peaks of Gulmarg. This time it has also snowed in the town. Though it was very little snow, in winter this place is a unique spot,” said Iqbal Ahmad, a hotel owner in Gulmarg. “We hope this year we will get early snowfall in Gulmarg which can boost winter tourism in the region.”

The Valley’s upper reaches, including Gurez in Bandipora district, Machil in Kupwara, and the Mughal Road in Shopian, also recorded fresh snowfall. This winter wonderland is set to attract adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers from across the globe.

Travel Advisory for Safe Journeys

To ensure the safety of all visitors, the government has issued a travel advisory for the hilly regions of the Valley. Tourists are advised to use 4×4 vehicles equipped with chains when traveling to higher altitudes. The advisory is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey through the snow-laden roads.

The weak Western Disturbances this November have not only ended the dry spell in Kashmir but are also likely to increase water levels in streams and rivers, enhancing the valley’s natural beauty.

Weather Predictions and Precautions

The Meteorological Department (MeT) in Srinagar has predicted rain and snowfall in different parts of Kashmir from November 17 to 23. Fresh precipitation and cloudy weather have led to a significant drop in temperatures, with Gulmarg recording a day temperature of 1.2°C, which is eight degrees below normal. Srinagar, the summer capital, recorded 12.2°C, three degrees below normal.

The MeT has forecasted light snowfall in the next two days, with generally cloudy weather expected on November 15 and 16. Tourists, trekkers, and travelers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and exercise caution while traveling to higher altitudes due to the potential disruption of surface transportation.

“Temporary disruption of surface transportation is expected due to light snowfall over Zojila, Razdan Pass, Sadhna Pass, Sinthan Top, and Mughal Road on November 15,” the update said. “Tourists, trekkers, and travelers are advised to plan accordingly.”
