Kashmir has always been beautiful but the heavy snowfall in the past month has transformed it into a dreamy winter wonderland. The valley, which recorded the heaviest snowfall in 25 years this January, is expected to receive more snow in the next few days.

Locals and tourists both have taken full advantage of the snow, and are making beautiful ice sculptures and playing snow games.

The locals call this harsh cold weather "chillai kalan", reported The Times of India, as it is reportedly indicative of a good rabi crop in the summer.

Here are some stunning images from Kashmir this year.
