#WATCH | Winter Is Here! Stunning Snowfall Blankets Gulmarg & Apharwat Mountains

The magical winter season has officially begun in Kashmir. The picturesque valley of Gulmarg just received fresh snowfall, transforming the high-altitude peaks of Butapathri and Apharwat into a breathtaking white wonderland. As a thick blanket of snow covers the majestic mountains, tourists are thrilled to witness the spellbinding natural beauty. However, this sudden change in weather has drastically dropped daytime temperatures, signaling the early arrival of biting cold for the locals. According to the Meteorological Department, this weather shift is driven by Western Disturbances, bringing rain and snow across Jammu and Kashmir until October 15.
