The Pirpanjal mountain range in the western Himalayas is a well known skiing destination for the two Indians and foreigners.

Avalanches and landslides are popular in Kashmir and have induced heavy demise tolls for the Indian and Pakistani armies camped in close proximity to the mountainous and forested militarised Line of Manage that divides Kashmir between the nuclear-armed rivals.
In 2017, at the very least 20 Indian soldiers have been killed in a few avalanches, and in 2012 a massive avalanche in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir killed 140 persons, which includes 129 Pakistani soldiers.
