Tourists from Kenya sit by a bonfire outside a cottage in Drang village, northwest of Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir, Thursday, December 21, 2023. This is the time of “Chillai Kalan”, also called “The Great Winter”, a Kashmiri phrase which defines the harshest 40 days of cold in disputed Kashmir that commence in late December and extend into January and early February. Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, Kashmir in winter transforms into a wonderland. Tourists fill its hotels to ski, sledge and trek the Himalayan landscape. (Photo by Dar Yasin/AP Photo)
