We can stop saying ‘winter is coming’ because it is officially here. Upper reaches of Kashmir like Gulmarg and Ladakh’s Drass have already received the season’s first snowfall and so has Lahaul-Spiti in Himachal Pradesh.
According to DNA India, Lachung and Yumthang (aka ‘Valley of Rhododendrons’) in North Sikkim also turned into a winter paradise today. We can use millions of adjectives to wax eloquent about the area but we’ll just let the gorgeous photos do the talking. Check them out.
