Gupuks: The Khelo India Winter Games Venue Where Amateurs Become Professionals
Gupuks has evolved significantly - from a natural pond where beginners first attempt skating to a standard ice rink hosting national-level events like the Khelo India Winter Games. In Ladakh, summers are flooded with tourists, however as temperatures begin to drop, most tourist-based establishments shut down, and the cold limits outdoor activities. And with most sports taking a backseat and schools also being shut down during the winter months, Gupuks becomes the playground for everyone.
