Sonamarg, the famous tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district turned white on Monday after a fresh spell of snowfall in the region. The winter chill returned to Kashmir as moderate rainfall across the Valley brought the mercury down by several notches over the past two days.
The visuals from Sonamarg show a serene landscape dominated by the pristine white of freshly fallen snow.
