Jammu And Kashmir: For the first time in 70 years, this winter some of the famous tourist hotspots like Karnah, Sonmarg, and Gurez will remain open for tourists to boost tourism in the region.
The government also planning this time to introduce adventure sports and other activities in those places to not only increase the footfall of tourists but also enhance their experience. The new proposed ski slopes will be developed in snow-bound areas with rather good connectivity, as per the reports.
Earlier, all three spots, Karnah, Sonmarg, and Gurez usually remain closed to tourists in winter due to low visibility, and snowfall.
Although the town of Gulmarg has been attracting tourists during winter, the rest of the places witness relatively fewer tourists. Meanwhile, it has also been reported that helicopter services will likely be introduced in the snow-bound areas in Jammu and Kashmir to improve connectivity.
