SHIMLA: The weather in some parts of Himachal Pradesh experienced a notable shift due to the influence of a fresh western disturbance that hit the state on Monday (December 11, 2023).
The Kullu and Lahaul valleys of the state witnessed adverse weather conditions from late Monday night until 9 am, with Rohtang and higher peaks such as Baralacha, Seven Sisters Peaks and Hanuman Tibba receiving fresh snowfall.
The sudden weather change has intensified the cold wave across the entire valley. Despite the chilly conditions, a large number of tourists descended upon Koksar at 10 am, seeking to revel in the fresh snowfall. A substantial number of tourists are flocking to Sisu and the North Portal of the Atal Tunnel to experience snowfall.
