During winters, our country becomes a snowy wonderland with several cities and towns painted white as the mercury drops to the minimum. And after Kashmir, Ladakh, North Sikkim, Srinagar, among other places, our very own state of apples, Himachal Pradesh has been covered with the seasonal snowfall.
People visiting Shimla, Kufri, Fagu, Narkanda, and nearby places were lucky enough to witness the winter in full glory with chilly winds and snowfall putting a magical end to the year that was.
Shimla, among other cities, was covered with a blanket of crisp snow and these pictures shared by Tweeple are sure going to give you major FOMO. Take a look:
