If you are someone who’s thinking of witnessing a majestic snowfall in winter, look no further. Here’s a list of 7 Indian places you can visit.
Gulmarg turns into a white wonderland when it gets covered in a thick blanket of snow during winter. Every year, tourists flock to the place to enjoy winter sports activities such as gondola rides, skiing and snowboarding.
The place boasts majestic mountains, dense forest covers and winding roads. One can opt for paragliding in Solang Valley or hiking all the way to Jogini waterfalls. The Rohtang Pass is the ultimate destination to witness snowfall.
Shimla is not only one of the best places to watch snowfall, but given its historical significance, the city also has several remnants of Colonial-era architecture. Apart from this, it is also known for its rolling hills, picturesque rivers, and snow-covered forests.
Nestled in the snow-capped mountains of Uttarakhand, Auli is a perfect location if you want a Swiss vacation but on a budget. The place is filled with oak and pine trees and apple orchards, among other things.
Also known as ‘Little Kashmir’, Munsiyari is a hill station less popular than others on this list. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, it boasts picturesque views and enchanting beauty.
Sikkim’s Yumthang, also known as the Valley of Flowers, is home to frozen lakes, hot springs, and rolling meadows. It is also an abode of four types of rhododendrons, and it is amongst the few places in India to receive snowfall all through the year.
Tawang is popular not just for its beautiful snowy peaks but also for its religious significance. It is the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, and houses a 400-year-old monastery.
