Srinagar:4/4/22: Kashmir valley is witnessing highest ever arrival of tourists. Srinagar airport is breaking previous records of handling passengers.

The past few days have witnessed record number of tourists reaching Srinagar by air and road. Almost the entire bed capacity in hotels, guest houses and houseboats in Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and other tourist destinations has been sold-out for the summer season.

More than 1.50 lakh tourists reached Kashmir during the month of March. Trains reaching Jammu are fully loaded from across the country. Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu is also witnessing record footfall of pilgrims during the ongoing Navratras.
