Snow Fall at Upper Belts Attract More Tourists
 |
| the vehicles on the way to Nathula (Indo-China Border) |
The heavy snowfall in the upper belts of the state a couple of
days ago has refrained the tourists from visiting the Nathula Border. Also the
road leading towards Tsongmo Lake and Baba Mandir now remains covered with snow
(measuring up to 2 feet), however, the road is open. In these areas, the
temperature has also dipped below zero degree Celsius. The snowfall around the
upper regions might continue till next three days, it has been opined.
The snow fall this year is quite less due to the western
disturbances towards northern part. Nevertheless, North Sikkim is likely to
receive more snowfall till the end of this month. Some places in North Sikkim
like Lachen, Lachung, Gurudongmar Lake and Yumthang valley also received snow
fall. The Border Roads Organization (BRO) is clearing the snow to keep the
transportation active.
After the snowfall in the upper regions, there has been an
increase in the number of tourist visiting the Tsongmo Lake and Baba Mandir and
the number of vehicles visiting Tsongmo has increased in comparison to last
couple of weeks.
The number of tourist is likely to increase due to the snowfall.
