J-K: Sonamarg-Zojila road stopped due to recent snowfall in Kashmir | Watch video
After fresh snow fell on Tuesday in the upper slopes of Zojila in the Ganderbal district of Central Kashmir, the Sonamarg-Zojila road in Jammu and Kashmir was shut down.
The season's first snowfall also fell in Gularmg last month, one of the most popular tourist sites for its picturesque views throughout the snowstorm and lupine blooming seasons.
Jammu and Kashmir transforms into a winter paradise from December to March during the winter season. Tourists in Gulmarg take advantage of the snowstorm and create snow sculptures.
In addition to its stunning scenery, Gulmarg is well-known for its winter sports. It is not only the most well-liked vacation spot, but it is also a skiing destination.
The World's largest igloo cafe, which debuted in Gulmarg earlier in February 2022, caught visitors' attention. A private company built a glass igloo restaurant in Gulmarg in 2023.
St. Mary's Church, the Maharaja Palace, the Drung Waterfall, the Maharani Temple, and the Gulmarg Gondola ride—said to be Asia's highest and longest ropeway—are other well-known attractions in this scenic location.
Meanwhile, severe rains have returned, forcing the closure of 24 routes in five districts of Himachal Pradesh, the state that has experienced the biggest calamity this monsoon season.
According to statistics from the State Disaster Management Authority, which was cited by ANI, "16 roads remain blocked throughout Lahaul-Spiti district, 4 in Shimla, 2 in Kullu, and a single one in Kangra and Kinnaur districts."
468 people have killed, 487 have been injured, and 40 are missing since the start of the state's monsoon fury, according to data from Revenue of the State Minister Jagat Singh Negi.
"2,647 houses have been completely wrecked, 1,129 houses damaged partly, 320 shops damaged and 5,977 Cowsheds damaged," according to the information.
