Kufri and Fagu in Himachal Pradesh have recently witnessed the first light snowfall of the season, marking the beginning of the winter wonderland. However, in Narkanda, continuous snowfall has led to significant snow accumulation on National Highway 05 (NH05), causing the road surface to become dangerously slippery.
Traffic Diversions in Place for Safety
To ensure the safety of travelers, traffic from Sainj to Shimla has been diverted via Luhri and Sunni. This alternate route offers a safer passage, avoiding the treacherous conditions on NH05. Travelers are advised to follow the diversion and drive cautiously.
Winter Advisory for Travelers
- Plan Ahead: Check weather updates and road conditions before heading to higher altitudes.
- Drive Safely: Ensure your vehicle is equipped with snow chains and winter tires for better grip on icy roads.
- Stay Informed: Follow updates from local authorities regarding road closures and diversions.
Tourist Attractions During Snowfall
The Kufri-Fagu belt offers breathtaking views and a chance to enjoy snow activities. While travel is manageable in these areas, tourists are encouraged to remain cautious and prioritize safety.
