Lal Draman Winter Festival Revives Tourism Dreams in Jammu and Kashmir: Know more

Lal Draman, a serene meadow nestled in the picturesque Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, came alive recently as the much-anticipated Winter Festival attracted nearly 2,500 visitors. Tourists, locals, officials, and media gathered to witness this celebration of culture, adventure, and natural beauty. The meadow, surrounded by majestic deodar and fir trees, served as a stunning backdrop for the festivities.

Historically, Lal Draman enjoyed a prominent place in school textbooks alongside popular tourist hubs like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Patnitop. However, its development was stalled during the years of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir. In recent times, the district administration has taken steps to rekindle interest in this hidden gem. Initiatives like the Lal Draman Fair in summer and the Winter Festival aim to revive its reputation as a tourist hotspot.
