As someone from Delhi who's planning a winter trip, this is perfect timing! The photos must be amazing. Does anyone know if the roads are safe for driving during snowfall? Need to check with local authorities before planning.

While tourism is great for the economy, I hope the authorities ensure proper waste management. Last time I visited a hill station during peak season, there was plastic waste everywhere. Let's promote responsible tourism.

Good to see positive news from J&K. The "Mini Kashmir" nickname is well-deserved. My family is from Jammu and we've always known about Bhaderwah's beauty. Hope the tourism boost helps local businesses recover after difficult times.

Early October snowfall seems unusual though. Is this normal for the region or could it be related to climate change patterns? Either way, the scenic beauty must be breathtaking!
