New Year Cheers! Snow-Kissed Gulmarg Among Tourists
The name Gulmarg means the Meadow of Flowers, and this enchanting town continues to mesmerize tourists with its splendid beauty and recent snowfalls. Located in the heart of Jammu and Kashmir, it has transformed into a winter wonderland that thousands of Indians and foreigners have flocked to visit.
While the serenity of snow-covered peaks and untouched surroundings offers quiet relief, the lively atmosphere of celebrations in hotels and resorts creates an irresistible charm. Various tourists have expressed that the experience is nothing more than magical, with the adventure activities like skiing and cozy bonfires making them unforgettable.
Boosted local business in hoteliers and tour operators, which exemplifies how well Gulmarg has established itself in the winter destination industry. Unfortunately, the harsh break of overpopulated tourist inflow has also raised alarms on environmental sustainability and waste management in the area.
As always, the local administration needs to ensure high safety levels and smooth logistics in place while promoting tourism. Tourists also have their responsibility to preserve the natural beauty that the area represents.
Gulmarg appeals to both adventure and peace seekers-something quite unusual for a tourist destination. This is how the town relates to a New Year for many: it seems ageless, like the northern hills of India, bringing prosperity and joy to all who seek it and granting wishful thinking with a view of snow.
