Khelo India Winter Games to be held from March 9 to 12

This is the second leg of the Khelo India Winter Games 2025 where competitions will be held in skiing and snowboarding.

The Khelo India Winter Games (KIWG) 2025 will be held at Gulmarg from March 9 to 12 following heavy snowfall over the past few days in the higher reaches of the Valley.

The Winter Games, which were earlier scheduled to be held from February 22 to 25, had to be postponed due to lack of snow at Gulmarg with Kashmir witnessing one of its driest winters in recent history.
