Sonamarg is benefiting from the Z-Morh Tunnel’s employment and tourism

Due to the Z-Morh Tunnel’s year-round connection in the Ganderbal district, Sonamarg, Kashmir’s tourism and commercial activity have substantially changed. For local vendors and enterprises that previously faced lengthy off-seasons due to severe winter weather, the 11.98 kilometre tunnel has created new options.

But because of better connectivity, the area has witnessed a consistent rise in visitor numbers, which guarantees residents will always have jobs and money to make.

The demand for local goods, lodging, dining options, and transportation has increased as a result of the surge in tourists, according to reports. Now that it is open all year round, Sonamarg has become a popular travel destination that draws adventurers, nature lovers, and fans of winter sports.
