Season's First Snowfall and Rain Lower Temperatures in Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh's higher regions, including Rohtang Pass in Kullu district, experienced the season's first significant snowfall, accompanied by light to moderate rain across several areas such as Shimla and Manali. This weather shift caused temperatures to drop and created wintry landscapes, raising hopes among tourism stakeholders for a boost in the upcoming winter season. The Indian Meteorological Department issued an orange alert for heavy rains in isolated places, with rain expected to continue. Travel on mountain passes remains normal but caution is advised due to potential icy conditions.
