Skiing in Kashmir ... Unusual coincidence





Last night I just finished reading a early 1950s murder mystery/spy thriller. Many of you may know M.M. Kaye and her delightful novel Far Pavilions. I have always been interested in novels about climbing and skiing, or novels set in mountain towns and regions. Moreover, the Gulmarg region has always been a place I have wanted to climb and trek in. Hours after I put the "whom-done-it" down, I came across this short video about the burgeoning ski culture and business in Gulmarg.
