Whosoever comes to visit this place, they go back with a lifetime experience which they find hard to be replaced with anything else, but, what if, the necessary measures are taken by the tourism department to specifically hold autumn festivals in Kashmir to call in tourists to have marvelous experience of a different side of Kashmir’s picturesque beauty, wouldn’t that make a total difference? Yes, that would indeed, because the tourism potential of the autumn season, specifically, has so far remained untapped although it has got a lot more to offer to the tourists coming not only from various parts of the country but from various other countries.
If we go by the figures, then, we have already had the highest number of tourists arriving in Kashmir in decades and perhaps have got the distinction of hosting the highest number of foreign tourists in comparison to other parts of the country. There is no denying the fact that the Tourism Department has done a great job in the last few years, particularly, after 2019, when focused efforts were made to ensure a boost in tourist footfall, but there is a need to do more. While a lot has been done, there is a need to promote Kashmir’s autumn season, too, and necessary steps, in this regard, need to be taken to attract more and more visitors, because the autumn is very well in Kashmir these days, better let people have a glance of it before it paves a way for the chilling winters to set in.
