SRINAGAR: On Thursday, the valley's plains, including the outskirts of summer capital Srinagar, witnessed season's first (light) snowfall. The mountains have been experiencing intermittent bouts of light snow spells since November 11.
Visitors are making a beeline, particularly to the ski resort of Gulmarg in North Kashmir, after a relatively dry winter last year. "Gulmarg is filling up with tourists because of the snowfall. Bookings have increased a lot after the snowfall as the tourists were hesitant owing to dry weather and very late snowfall last winter," said Akib Chaya, president of Hoteliers Club Gulmarg.
