State tourism ministry hopes that in coming years the tourism flow will increase, which they apprehend may overburden environmentally sensitive places like Gulmarg. Toursm minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir said, “Gulmarg is not the only winter tourist destination but our experts have started a drive to explore virgin areas in Pahalgam and other areas of Kashmir. We have lot of places in Kashmir that have remained unexplored." Note: Pictures provided by local photographer A B Wani.
