Following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of at least 26 tourists, there has been a noticeable shift in tourist activity in the region. While Pahalgam itself has seen a decline in visitors due to safety concerns, other areas in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Mughal Gardens in Srinagar, continue to attract tourists.
The Mughal Gardens, renowned for their historical significance and architectural beauty, remain open and operational. These gardens offer a tranquil environment, providing a sense of safety and normalcy amidst the recent events. As a result, many tourists have redirected their plans, choosing to visit these gardens as an alternative to Pahalgam.
Local authorities and tourism officials are actively working to ensure the safety and security of visitors. Enhanced security measures have been implemented across popular tourist destinations, including the Mughal Gardens, to maintain a safe environment for tourists and locals alike.
Despite the challenges posed by the recent attack, the tourism sector in Jammu and Kashmir is showing resilience. Tourists are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and to exercise caution when planning their visits.
