Srinagar, Dec 25 (NVI): Bhaderwah, a serene town nestled in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, has transformed into a snowy paradise, drawing an influx of tourists mesmerized by its breathtaking winter landscapes.
Visitors are seen immersing themselves in the snowy charm—building snowmen, frolicking in the fresh powder, and warming up by bonfires with cups of hot tea. The winter magic has made Bhaderwah a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a tranquil snowy escape.
Balkrishan, an official from the Bhaderwah Development Authority, highlighted the growing appeal of the region. “Tourists are not just from Jammu and Kashmir but also from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and other states. We have ensured all facilities are in place to provide a comfortable experience,” he said.
The visitors’ excitement is palpable. Aakash, a first-time tourist, shared, “Bhaderwah has exceeded my expectations. It’s my first visit, and I’m completely enchanted. The beauty of this place is overwhelming.”
Shivam Gupta, a tourist from Agra, was equally impressed. “The weather is amazing, and the views are stunning. It’s an unforgettable experience,” he said.
For some, Bhaderwah became an extension of their pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi. Vikas from Varanasi explained, “People recommended this place after our visit to Vaishno Devi. It’s serene and absolutely beautiful.”
A traveler from Indore echoed the sentiment. “We came for the snowfall after our Vaishno Devi trip, and Bhaderwah was recommended to us. It’s a mesmerizing experience,” she said.
Adding to the charm, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast more light snowfall and rain in the region until December 30. A yellow warning for December 25 predicts a cold wave, enhancing the area’s winter appeal. Bhaderwah is fast becoming a top destination for those seeking the magic of snow-covered landscapes.(News Vibes of India)
