Captivating winter scenes from Kashmir

Winter in Kashmir is truly nature’s masterpiece. Everything around you turns serene, draped in a pristine blanket of snow. The landscape, that once was all about green meadows and mountain streams and rivers, now turns into a white wonderland with frozen rivers. It’s a delicate thing to see and one that stays on your mind and soul for a long time.



Winter brings a new life to the already popular places. With experiences like skiing, cable car rides over snow-covered valleys and mountains, and horse/mule rides and more, Kashmir, the Heaven on Earth, touches heartstrings.

Dal Lake's frozen beauty

There have been reports in the past of Dal Lake freezing partially during winters. However, it doesn’t happen so often nowadays. But don’t lose heart, the scenery surrounding the lake is stunning especially when they are covered in snow. The iconic houseboats against a backdrop of snow-laden mountains are a sight to see.

Aru Valley will give you a more offbeat experience. It is not exactly untouched but it’s true that it is one of the least-visited places in Kashmir.
