| November 10, 2009 | Kashmir's premier hill resort Gulmarg receives season's first snowfall | | Gulmarg: Season's first snowfall in Kashmir's premier hill resort
Gulmarg brought cheers to tourists on Monday. Snowfall started early on Monday after three months of dry spell. The whole town was seen covered with a thick
white blanket of snow. "We are enjoying after seeing season's first snowfall.
We had never expected it, its tantalizing natural beauty, what do I say, all these
are unforgettable moments," said Sonal Chatterjee, a tourist from West Bengal.
Locals, who depend on tourism for their livelihood, were also happy after the
fresh snowfall. "This is the first snowfall of the season. Tourists are pouring
in. It is good thing for us, the more snowfall, the more tourist inflow. The snowfall
benefits us in many ways as we will have better water and electricity supply because
of this," said Nazir Ahmed, a shopkeeper. Besides Gulmarg, which is 55 kilometres
north of Srinagar, there were also reports of moderate snowfall in tourist resorts
of Sonamarg and Gurez sector and Sadhna pass in Kupwara district. | |
