Suru Summer Festival 2025 kicked off in Ladakh with the first snowfall in August.
The snowfall turned the festival into a unique snow festival instead of a traditional summer event.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju was the chief guest and Lieutenant Governor Kavendra Gupta was the special guest at the inaugural ceremony.
Kiren Rijiju praised the hospitality of the people of Suru Valley and highlighted this rare experience.
He said projects like Zojila tunnel and new roads are expected to further increase tourism opportunities.
Suru Summer Festival 2025, comprising exciting sports, cultural events, handicrafts and traditional cuisine, will continue to shine as a celebration of Kargil's identity and tourism potential.
