Fresh snowfall brings in travellers to Kashmir after a bleak year

It is no secret that Kashmir was seeing lesser tourists ever since the abrogation of Article 370 in last August. In what has come as good news, travellers are again making their way to the beautiful valley, nudged by the snowfall season that has already set in for this winter. According to latest reports, Gulmarg is already covered with fresh snow and more snowfall is expected in the upper as well as lower regions of Kashmir. November 15 saw more than 500 travellers arriving at the Srinagar Airport, which is the highest number of arrivals in a single day in the past seven months. While the number is meagre as compared to any other tourist destination, it certainly as a silver lining for the flailing industry.
