KUFRI - The tourists have flocked up in large numbers to witness the snowfall at Kufri here after the town experienced a heavy snowfall.
The tourists visited the Mahasu peak here located at an altitude of 10,000 feet above sea level. The peak being at the highest range experiences heavy snowfall between the months of December and February.
Divya, a tourist from West Bengal said, “Kufri is great. It goes beyond everything. I think it’s not possible for everyone to go down to Kashmir to experience this snow and weather. I think it’s more approachable for common man.”
The snow-covered area offers opportunities for winter sports, such as skiing, which is enjoyed by large number of tourists.
Another tourist Namit said, “We did skiing, snow walk and we also hit each other with snow balls. We had a lot of fun.”
He added that he had never seen so much snow in his life and he was having a great time along with his friends, playing with the snow. (ANI)
