Bahçesaray is one of the many towns that experiences heavy snowfall in Turkey and the effects of climate change are hitting them hard. The town is not necessarily know for its natural beauty, but rather the disaster that happened two years ago in a matter of days. Karabet, a treacherous passage connecting the town to central Van, the eastern province with which Bahçesaray is administratively associated, was the site of an avalanche on Feb. 4, 2020. A total of 42 people, including 11 gendarmerie officers and nine village guards, were killed and 84 others were injured in the double disaste. Not only do children enjoy the snow in winter. 1 february 2022. Bahcesaray, Van. Turkey
