Bhaderwah’s Guldanda Sees Tourism Revival Amid Winter Season, hope for good snow soon After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the tourism sector across the region suffered significant losses, severely affecting the livelihoods of thousands of people dependent on tourism. However, with renewed hopes associated with winter tourism, a sense of optimism has begun to return among local residents. This positive shift is clearly visible at the famous tourist destination of Guldanda, where vendors and shopkeepers who remained without work for most of the year have gradually started setting up their stalls once again. The steady arrival of tourists during the winter season has brought much-needed relief to the local economy and restored confidence among those whose livelihoods rely on tourism. The revival witnessed in Guldanda indicates that the tourism sector is slowly but steadily getting back on track. Speaking to the media, Mohd Imran, a vendor at Guldanda, said that it is unfortunate that there has been no snowfall on the Guldanda meadow so far. However, he added that tourists are taken one to two kilometers uphill to areas where snow is available, allowing them to enjoy the winter experience. “We hope snowfall arrives soon so that a maximum number of tourists visit this place,” he added. Meanwhile, tourists visiting Bhaderwah expressed happiness over their experience and appealed to others to visit the area and enjoy its natural beauty.
