In the midst of what locals describe as one of Kashmir's most challenging dry spells, Sinthan Top in the higher reaches of the valley, is adorned with a pristine white carpet of snow. For tourists seeking an authentic snow experience, Sinthan Top has become a haven. The allure of untouched snow-covered landscapes, against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayas, makes it a compelling destination for those looking to explore the untouched wonders of Kashmir.
Tourists who visited Sinthan Top have been mesmerised by its charm. However, the dry spell has left many other parts of Kashmir devoid of the snow experiences that visitors often seek. The disappointment of tourists, who arrived around the New Year's Eve with hopes of indulging in skiing and other snow-related activities, was evident.
