Kashmir, Paradise on earth has its season's first snow fall early this year. Come and visit Kashmirand see the charming beauty of snow Claude mountains and plains. Come early and take thepleasure to see the snow skiing and winter sports competition at Gulmarg.

Snow Skiing at Gulmarg:

This year snow came too early in Kashmir in the month of December. It is the better time to comeand take the advantage to see the drubbing icicles (snow with long frost snow). The temperature inthe day is above zero and during nights it falls below negative and it is due to this process theseicicles are made by the nature in the most calm and quiet environment without disturbing the humanbeings or any animals. Another interesting place to visit is the famous Dal Lake but at this stage weare able to see only the frozen Dal Lake with local children playing skiing games on the frozen DalLake.

The people who see the snow in Kashmir are the lucky person and they do not forget it until theytake their last breath. The days spend in Kashmir during winters are the most memorable days ofthose who visit and see the white Kashmir that's the white snow has taken all area under its lap.Every nook is covered with snow. At the first day when snow comes all the roads are blocked andmost offices remain closed and the governmental agencies are on work to clear the roads. Thepeople in Kashmir are happy on this day as the snow is most important for the whole year because inwinters the snow at mountains is converted into glaciers and the glaciers lasts long for the wholeyear that provide water for drinking, farming, etc to the people of Kashmir. Children play with snowand make different objects of snow whether they be crocodiles or any snow men. The little childrenprefer to live inside homes when the snow falls and people also come early to home in the evenings.People use Kangri to warm their body and in rooms gas or kerosene oil bukharis are used to warmthe rooms. New houses are made in such a way one room is made with hamam (special rooms withheating arrangements) and the hotels are centrally heated.
