Uttarakhand is currently experiencing an intense snow spell that has significantly impacted the region. For the past 36 hours, the region has experienced heavy snowfall, leading to considerable disruptions in travel and daily life. The snow began falling late Wednesday last week and continued into Thursday, creating a thick white blanket over the state's picturesque landscapes. The four dhams of Uttarakhand—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath—and the highest peaks in the Himalayas, are now blanketed with fresh snowfall. In contrast, the lower regions are facing relentless rain, which has added to the challenges of those trying to navigate the area. Travellers are advised to take safety precautions as the region adapts to these stunning yet disruptive weather conditions.
