Snowfall Season Begins: Discover Kashmir’s Winter Magic in Gulmarg with JKL Travels — Your Trusted Snow Holiday Experts

By: JKL Travels – Kashmir Travels | December 2025

A Confident Return to Kashmir’s Winter Travel Season

Kashmir has officially entered the peak of its winter tourism season, and Gulmarg once again stands at the center of attention. With a Western Disturbance forecast to bring fresh snowfall across the Valley around New Year’s Eve, travellers from India and abroad are preparing for one of the most anticipated winter periods in recent years.

Destinations such as Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonmarg, and higher mountain belts are expected to receive moderate to heavy snowfall, while the plains, including Srinagar, may see lighter snow and rain. The result is a powerful combination of winter scenery, adventure activity, and tourism momentum.

At the forefront of this renewed interest is JKL Travels—a leading Kashmir-based travel company ensuring that guests experience the beauty of the season with reliable planning, safety focus, and professional execution.

This winter story is not just about snow.
It is about confidence returning to the tourism sector, visitor trust rebuilding, and Kashmir reaffirming its status as India’s premier winter destination.
