Nice time to be in Kashmir is from may to September. the people who like snow or want to see the snowfall can come during the winter months of December to march. these wintry months are cold & harsh weather beats kashmir with snow and fog. Gulmarg is a premier ski retreat catering the international skiers and tourists. Natural slopes, good quality of snow make gulmarg ideal for skiing and snow boarding. during this time many of ski, snowboarding championships and ice hockey games are organized by the state department of tourism.people love to learn the skiing in gulmarg at that time hotels provide central heating system and other amenities to save from cold.
Kashmir is going towards a better future as there is a dearth of other industries so people are solely dependent on tourism, at present tourism is increasing very rapidly giving everyone chance to earn their bread and butter and by helping to reduce the unemployment which had plagued the valley since two decades.
