Omar, with over 8,70,000 followers on the microblogging site, has been trying his best to attract people to visit Kashmir.
"The worst of the water logging is behind us & the fear of floods has been dispelled by the government. Please come visit Kashmir in the spring," Omar wrote on twitter today.
To attract tourists to visit the famous tourists destinations including Gulmarg and Pahalgam, Omar wrote,"The tulips will soon be in bloom & the Valley is the most gorgeous green, Gulmarg still has snow & the Lidder is roaring in Pahalgam."
"So if you are looking for a holiday or even a short break look no further than Kashmir. Everyone here is waiting to welcome you," he wrote.
Omar also posted a picture of the tulip garden of Srinagar with fresh blooming tulips. "Tulips in Srinagar beginning to bloom. It's a 1 hr flight from Delhi so why wait!" he wrote.
Omar has shown concern over the reports that tourists were cancelling their bookings in the anticipation of the floods in Kashmir.
"The tourist industry had a disastrous Autumn & a really bad winter because of the floods. Finally things were looking up in April," he wrote.
