North India Woke Up To A Snowy Christmas! These Magical Pictures Will Make Your Day!

Nothing quite completes the holiday season like perfect Christmas weather. Most Indians never expect to wake up to a snowy winter wonderland. Yet this year, our northern states have been able to enjoy a fluffy blanket of white snow! Right from Himachal Pradesh, to Jammu and Kashmir as well as several regions in Uttarakhand experienced cold waves.

While we can’t say it is entirely unexpected, given that such serendipity happened this time last year, we can say that denizens are loving it!

Here’s a glimpse at what you’re missing out on!

The Dal Lake in Srinagar is perfectly framed against snowy mountain peaks. Watch the lake freeze over as temperatures have dropped drastically. The weekend saw Srinagar ring in the coldest night all year at minus 5.6 degrees Celsius.

Even so, Manali is picture perfect with snow-laden roads!

A train rushes along snow-covered tracks. Yesterday saw bleak sunshine, but Himachal Pradesh, Shimla is anticipating a chilly 1.8 degrees Celsius today.

The Kalka-Shimla train allows passengers to see mesmerizing sights and hamlets that they would have otherwise never witnessed. The route starts from Kalka, located in the Panchkula district of Haryana, from zero metres, winding its way upwards along the narrow track. At 656 metres, the train starts climbing uphill, passing through the 18 stations and reaches Shimla, located at an elevation of 2, 076 metres in the lap of the Himalayas. As the train ascends through steep mountains and curves, its speed slows down • ° Follow 👉 @splendid_himachal √√ ⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫ Image source @iamshubham_kapoor ⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫ For feature use our hashtag 👉 #splendid_himachal ___________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for visiting our page ☺ ___________________________________________________________________________ #travel #instahimachal #wanderlust #mountains #travelgram #traveltheworld #photooftheday #kasol #globetrotter #beautifulhimachal #instatravel #beautifuldestinations #streetphotographyinadia #letsgosomewhere #travelblogger #photography #nature #himachal #himachalpradesh #kullu #shimla #incrediblehimachal #jannatofhimachal #onehimachal #indiapictures #himalayas #incredibleindia #india #lonelyplanetindia .
