Great for tourism and local economy. Hotel owners and taxi drivers must be thrilled. But I hope the administration is prepared for the influx - the roads to Dainkund can get very slippery and crowded. Safety should be the priority along with the fun.

It was truly magical! We were the ones mentioned in the article from Chandigarh. The moment it started snowing at Lakkar Mandi, everyone just burst into joy. A memory for a lifetime. If you can, go now! ❄️

As someone from South India who has never seen snow, this is my dream! Articles like this make me want to book tickets immediately. But is it responsible tourism? Hope tourists are not littering and damaging that pristine white beauty.

The description of the deodar trees looking like Christmas trees is so lovely. It's wonderful to see such pure joy. Reminds me of my first snowfall in Canada, but there's something special about experiencing it in the Indian Himalayas.

Good news for farmers too, as mentioned. Snowfall is crucial for the water table and apple orchards in the region. A prosperous new year for Chamba district all around. Jai Himachal!
