by Beckypublished on 13th May 2022
101 East meets the men and women transforming the pristine ski slopes of Indian-administered Kashmir into the ultimate ski destination.
Nestled against the backdrop of one of the world’s most notorious conflict zones are the pristine snow-capped peaks of Gulmarg. Despite being a few kilometres from the Line of Control dividing India and Pakistan, it has long attracted adventure-seeking skiers from the West.
