Shoutout to the BRO teams working in those harsh conditions to clear the roads! Jai Hind! The article mentions they expect to reopen in 5 days - that's some serious dedication. The safety and connectivity they provide is the backbone for tourism in these remote areas.

Looks magical! We always think of Gulmarg or Pahalgam, but these lesser-known spots have their own unique charm. Perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds. Has anyone here been to Bani? How is the infrastructure for tourists?

While promoting tourism is great, I hope there's a strong focus on sustainable practices. An influx of visitors can put a strain on these pristine ecosystems if not managed carefully. Let's enjoy the beauty without leaving a trace.

The description sounds like a dream. Makes me want to plan a trip right away! It's important that the development for tourists also benefits the residents year-round, not just during the season. Hope the local economy gets a real boost.
