Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was seen skiing in Jammu and Kashmir's Gulmarg Thursday, days after he led his party's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' - over 3,000-km-long cross-country march, which culminated in the Valley last month.

In a video by news agency ANI, Rahul Gandhi, donned in a jacket and a blue sweater underneath, was seen gliding down the snow in Gulmarg, where he has reportedly gone on a two-day personal visit. Tourists thronged to meet Gandhi even as was surrounded by his security. The Wayanad MP returned to Jammu and Kashmir after the conclusion of the first part of the Budget Session of the Parliament.

When pressed for comments, the former Congress president refused to take questions from the media and just greeted them with a 'namaskar', according to ANI. The Congress leader also posed for selfies with an excited bunch of tourists, who were giving a tough time to his security personnel.

Gandhi was in Jammu and Kashmir last month for the last leg of the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' which concluded in Srinagar with flag hoisting at the Congress office. He had unfurled the Tricolour at Lal Chowk marking the conclusion of the Yatra.

His visit comes amid the 60-member Tripura Assembly polls, the voting for which is currently underway.
