One of the most magical colour combinations nature has ever teased us with is that of blue and white. Especially, when you are in the snow-clad mountains, the chirpy white snowflakes and the contrasting blue sky reminds us of paradise we can’t witness but only imagine. If you could relate to the picture we tried to paint in your minds and immediately feel the excitement about being there, we have a reason for you to pack your bags.

Yes, the Pahalgam Winter Festival is here and it is happening on the 17th and 18th of February, 2018.
