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.

Best Time for Snow Trekking in the Himalayas

With fresh snowfall across Uttarakhand and the Himalayan ranges, winter treks such as Kedarkantha Trek, Brahmatal Trek, Kuari Pass Trek, Dayara Bugyal Trek, and Hampta Pass winter routes are now at their best. Snow-covered forests, frozen alpine meadows, and panoramic mountain views make this season perfect for both beginners and experienced trekkers.

Advisory for Trekkers and Travelers

While the snowfall has improved trekking experiences, travelers are advised to:

·         Check local weather and road conditions regularly

·         Trek with experienced guides and certified operators

·         Carry proper winter clothing and snow trekking gear

·         Avoid isolated routes during heavy snowfall
