These are five snow-capped mountain towns that are attractive for those seeking a lifestyle full of adventure.
Jindabyne
This alpine town is one of the most famous towns in Snow Mountain, especially because of its unusual history, which was first located in a flooded site in 1964, paving the way for Lake Jindabyne.

Cooma
The rural charm abounds in the region’s largest town, Cooma, which earned the nickname “the gateway to the snowy mountains.”
With a vibrant arts community, Cooma caters not only to the outdoor crowd but also to those who appreciate their creative pursuits. Local galleries and arts and cultural centres are complemented by regular events such as the Australian National Street Championship finals, the annual multicultural festival and the monthly Rotary Club of Kumar.

An hour from Kumar, this small town in the southeast corner of New South Wales is perhaps the best place for the country to glimpse one of America’s natural treasures: Plato.
With its pristine rivers and streams, the Bengals have been called the sanctuary of this beloved animal, while the Plato reserve outside the town provides a great place to spot notorious shy creatures from the wild.
The Bengal River flows directly through towns and is a perennial river in the snow river catchment area. In addition to acting as a habitat for local fauna, it is also a popular place for locals to enjoy.
An extensive network of bike lanes runs through towns and rivers, while several historic sites sit next to this waterway, such as the train station and the Association of Engines and Machinery.
Those who wish to build in Bangladesh can find unique opportunities, such as this huge parcel, which can be divided into four separate lots.
