Impact & Risks
The ongoing rain and cloudy conditions are likely to disrupt trekking activities in the Himalayan regions. Teams in Hampta Pass, Bhrigu Lake, and Janglikh are facing delays due to bad weather, with some groups staying at campsites for acclimatisation. Snowfall at Roli Kholi may pose additional challenges for trekkers. Wet and slippery trails increase the risk of accidents, particularly in areas like Jiskun, where rain is expected to continue until 3 PM. In contrast, sunny weather in Pench offers favourable conditions for outdoor activities.
