• Himachal Pradesh's high-altitude regions, including Kullu and Lahaul Spiti, have experienced fresh snowfall, transforming the area into a winter wonderland.
• Popular tourist destinations such as Solang Nala, Koksar, Atal Tunnel Rohtang, and Hamta Pass are bustling with visitors eager to enjoy the snow.

Impact & Risks

The snowfall has attracted a significant number of tourists to Himachal Pradesh, boosting local tourism in areas like Kullu and Lahaul Spiti. However, four key roads remain blocked due to snow, including the Darcha-Shinkula Road, Darcha-Sarchu Road, Koksar-Manali Road (via Rohtang), and Koksar-Losar Road (via Kunzum Pass). These closures may cause travel disruptions for both locals and tourists. Rising temperatures in the coming days are expected to bring relief from the cold, particularly in the plains and mid-altitude areas.
