Following the restoration of the Bhaderwah-Basholi-Pathankot National
Highway, a large number of tourists have thronged to the Doda’s
Bhaderwah region of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Guldanda
meadow, after it received heavy snowfall.
Guldanda, which is located at almost 10,000 feet altitude, has become a
popular destination for visitors from across the country.
In the past year, over 5 lakh tourists visited various parts of Bhaderwah,
according to the Publicity Officer of the Bhaderwah Development
Authority (BDA), Aamir Rafique.
Tourists have been arriving in significant numbers to experience the
snow at Guldanda. The meadow has gained attention for its winter
landscape, and many visitors have expressed their enjoyment of the
snow-covered area.
Rafique further noted that the increase in tourist visits to Bhaderwah is a
positive development for the region’s tourism sector and highlighted that
the Guldanda meadow has become a key attraction, contributing to the
area’s growth as a year-round tourist destination.
The snowfall in Guldanda, with up to four feet of snow in some places,
has added to the attraction. As soon as the road was cleared, a large
influx of tourists arrived to enjoy the area. Rafique further mentioned
the high number of visitors who have come to experience the snowcovered landscape.
“The snowfall has recently taken place in Goldanda.
You see that three to four feet of snow is there. As soon as the road opened, the tourist rush
was there. You are seeing how many tourists are enjoying this place who
have come from all over India. If you see in the backdrop behind me, how
many tourists are enjoying this place,” said Rafique.
Despite heavy snowfall, the road leading to Guldanda and other tourist
sites was temporarily closed. However, with the efforts of the
administration and Border Roads Organisation (BRO), the BhaderwahBasholi-Pathankot highway was reopened for visitors.
