In a concerted effort to showcase the untapped tourism potential of the Ramban district, the Directorate of Tourism, in collaboration with the district administration, recently hosted the maiden 'Gool Mela' at the scenic Narsinga meadow.
Situated at an altitude of 5000-6,500 feet, approximately 10 kilometres from Gool town and bordering the Reasi district, the pristine landscape served as the offbeat valley town backdrop for an event aimed at boosting the rural economy and curbing local unemployment.
