“When winter sets in Kashmir it gets too cold. But when it snows, the entire landscape is covered with white blanket, a perfect time to eat, drink, play and share warm Santa stories. The oodles of snow brings new opportunities like skiing, skating, snowboarding, heli-skiing, snow man making etc. There is a definite charm as the snow blanket on the landscape is a visual treat for all.”
