India has many stunning tourist places, where you can wake up to gorgeous views of snowclad landscapes. You can have fun in the hilly areas by making snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other. With the winter season almost here, make your dream of witnessing the snow-capped mountains come true. Instead of going to Shimla and Manali, you can choose an offbeat destination, where you may get fewer crowds and more verdant views of meadows and forests. Here is a list of the best places in India to witness snowfall this winter.
Ladakh
Ladakh is a spectacular landscape. Arid mountains, dramatically crowned rocky outcrops, picturesque gompa and multi-hue flags are a few of the many sites that exemplify the beauty of Ladakh.
Chopta
Chopta, situated in Uttarakhand, is a trekker’s paradise and is amongst the best places to witness snowfall in India. It serves as the base camp for several treks, including the ones to Tunganath, Deoria Tal and Chandrashila. You can walk through the forests of alpine, pine, deodar and rhododendron amid snowfall.
Yumthang
Yumthang is another place in India which is the abode of frozen lakes, hot springs and rolling meadows. Located in North Sikkim, Yumthang also offers you a chance to enjoy the snowfall first and then head over to the natural hot springs in the valley to relax and rejuvenate.
Sangla Valley
Sangla, nestled in the Baspa Valley, is located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The small town close to the Tibetan Border connects you with nature. You can also visit Chitkul, which is also the last village before the Indo-Tibetan border begins.
Gulmarg
Gulmarg in Kashmir is widely acclaimed as the best skiing destination in India. Not only does it have the best slopes, but it also boasts one of the country’s highest and longest cable car projects.
