Shimla/Dehradun, November 6, 2025 — Several high-altitude areas in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand witnessed fresh snowfall this week, transforming mountain landscapes into pristine white vistas and drawing tourists to popular hill destinations.
In Himachal Pradesh, regions such as Lahaul-Spiti, Kinnaur, and Rohtang Pass received moderate to heavy snowfall, while Manali and Kufri reported light flurries. The sudden drop in temperature has prompted local authorities to issue advisories for travelers and monitor road conditions.
Uttarakhand’s Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Auli also experienced fresh snow, enhancing the scenic beauty of the Garhwal Himalayas. Pilgrims and trekkers were advised to exercise caution as visibility dropped and pathways became slippery.
Weather officials attributed the snowfall to a western disturbance moving across the northern belt, with forecasts indicating continued cold conditions and possible snow showers in the coming days.
