Tourism picks up in Kashmir as winter sets in

Kashmir is all set to receive winter tourists as the mercury began to dip sharply. The weather has turned chilly, but the bright sunshine and a little bit of snowfall now and then have added to the allure of the scenic place. The tourists are having a good time enjoying the weather in the backdrop of the snow-clad Himalayas. City-dwellers from across India were seen enjoying the ice-cold condition. Weather officials on Saturday said that the minimum temperature in Srinagar was minus 4 degrees Celsius.
