MANALI - Enhancing the pristine scenic beauty of the Himalayan region, fresh snowfall engulfed the mountains in Himachal Pradesh’s Manali district on Sunday.
Major tourist spots near Manali, such as Rohtang Pass, Maddi, Gulaba and Solang Nala were seen covered in thick blankets of snow.
The picturesque, snow-clad panorama presented a breathtaking spectacle of natural charm, much to the delight of tourists.
“The rainfall turned into snow and it was wonderful. The whole picture has changed completely. It has all turned white, it is heavenly actually. We are really enjoying ourselves,” said Divya Singh, a tourist.
