Fresh Snowfall Across Uttarakhand, Himalayas and North India Marks the Start of Peak Winter Trekking Season
Large parts of Uttarakhand, the Himalayan region, and North India have witnessed fresh snowfall, turning mountains, valleys, and trekking routes into stunning winter landscapes. The latest snowfall has brought a sharp drop in temperatures and has officially marked the beginning of the peak snow trekking season across the Indian Himalayas.
Snowfall in Uttarakhand and Himalayan Regions
In Uttarakhand, popular high-altitude destinations such as Auli, Chopta, Kedarkantha, Dayara Bugyal, Tungnath, Harsil, and Munsiyari have received fresh layers of snow. The snowfall has enhanced trail conditions for winter treks and improved visibility of major Himalayan peaks.
The Himalayan belt, including parts of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and higher regions of North India, has also experienced continuous snowfall. Well-known trekking and travel areas like Manali, Solang Valley, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Spiti Valley are now covered in snow, attracting adventure seekers and nature lovers.
North India Experiences Winter Snowfall
The ongoing snowfall in North India has led to colder weather in the plains as well. Hill stations and mountain towns are reporting sub-zero temperatures during the night, while clear skies after snowfall are offering breathtaking views during the day. This weather pattern is ideal for snow trekking, winter camping, and mountain photography.
