Roads in upper Shimla cut off with snowfall
Himachal Pradesh’s capital Shimla and its nearby tourist destinations on Monday were wrapped in snow, giving them a picturesque look. Likewise, Manali and its uphill Solang ski slopes and Kalpa, 250 km from here, saw snowfall.
Towns in upper Shimla district were cut off with snow piled up on roads, an official said.
This was the season’s second significant snowfall that froze the “Queen of Hills”, as Shimla was called by the erstwhile British rulers, and Manali.
As news of the snowfall spread, tourists started arriving here and in nearby Kufri, Mashobra and Narkanda.
Hills overlooking Manali like Gulaba, Solang and Kothi have been experiencing snow since early Monday, a Met official here said.
