7 Best Places To See Snowfall In India

Travelling is one of my hobbies and during winter I cannot resist the urge of feeling the bliss of heaven while staying on land. Snowfall is such an experience for me. You may wonder how this is possible in India. Well, let me correct you by listing down some of the best places to see snowfall in India. Just a note, I didn’t believe it unless I experienced it myself.

1.     Pahalgam:   

Have you heard of Pahalgam? If not then let me tell you it is a small hill station in Jammu Kashmir. It is one of the immaculate beauties in the country. Its splendour lies in the riverside location and snow-capped peaks. But if you want to experience its excitement you should take its long and quite treks away from the city madness.

2.     Kufri:

If you love winter sports especially skiing, then Kufri is the best location for it. It is one of the skiing hotspots. This beautiful region of Himachal transforms into a white blanket of snow during the winters. Its additional and picturesque beauty is from the tall deodars and pines.

3.     Munsiyari:   

Munsiyari, a new discovery for the tourists of Uttarakhand. If you love trekking on snow covered trekking routes, then this is a perfect place. It is full of mountains, glaciers and astonishing natural beauty making it a fairyland for travellers.

4.     Sonmarg:

Sonmarg, another fairyland where you can witness snowfall for a very long time. It is one of the perfect winter destinations for snow lovers. But before planning a trip to Sonmarg do check the weather report as this place encounters landslides during the heavy snow season.

5.     North Sikkim:  

If you are a true snow lover and want to play on snow and make some snowman and snow angels, then just take a trip to North Sikkim. With its incredible beauty and the white blanket of snow makes this place a paradise on earth. This has one of those places where you can find snow all throughout the year.

6.     Khajjiar:

Khajjiar, known as the Switzerland of India. The lush meadows, when covered in blankets of snow during winters, give a picturesque vision of Khajjiar. This little hill station is perfect to enjoy snowfall in India.

7.     Lava:

Even if your budget is tight and holiday days are limited still you can enjoy snow fall in India. A lesser known place in West Bengal, Lava is one of the many beautiful spots in India to watch the snowfall. The panoramic view of Kanchenjunga adds a feather to its cap along with trekking and bird watching. Cheap air flights are always available to this beautiful spot as it’s still not known to many travellers. So, a quick getaway would not harm your pocket.

Any trip you take to any of these beautiful fairylands in India make sure you book your tickets well in advance or getting flights at low airfare becomes near to impossible. Some places may be not so popular but places near it are. So, waiting for the last moment is not a smart move.
