Gulmarg Winter Games Postponed: Climate Change Hits Kashmir's Ski Slopes

India has postponed the Khelo India Winter Games 2025, originally scheduled for February 22-25 in Gulmarg, Kashmir, due to insufficient snowfall. The popular ski resort, situated at 2,650 meters above sea level, is facing an unusually dry winter with an 80% precipitation deficit. Organizers hope to reschedule the event for early March, pending adequate snowfall. This postponement highlights the growing impact of climate change on winter sports and tourism in the Himalayan region.
