GULMARG: Heavy snowfall this season at this famous ski-resort in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district has brought cheers to winter sports enthusiasts in the Valley as well as tourists from outside who are drawn to the steep skiing slopes amid spectacular views, after a gap of three years.
Kashmir Valley in general and Gulmarg in particular has received such heavy snowfall this season after a period of three years of less snow which made skiing almost impossible.
However, snowfall this January has attracted skiing enthusiasts to Gulmarg, often referred to as the “skiers paradise”, even as the number of visitors is still less than what it usually witnessed in the years before 2013.
“This is the best place for skiing. The slopes are very good and steep, providing skiers long distances to ski,” Jyoti Sharma, a skiing enthusiast, said.
She said Gulmarg is the best winter tourist destination in the world and easy on pocket too.
“Other such places in the world are costlier and they are not even as picturesque as Gulmarg is. I have come here with my family and we are enjoying our stay. This is the best place to be in the winters,” Sharma said. (AGENCIES)
