As thousands of people began thronging hill stations of Uttarakhand, met office on Friday said snowfall is expected only at isolated areas in the high altitudes of the hill state on the New Year eve.
Otherwise, the sky is likely to remain clear in most of the hill stations including Nainital and Mussoorie on December 30 and 31, it said.
Dehradun along with most of the hilly stations have been experiencing bright sunshine in the day even as the winter conditions have already set in.
Though the sun has been shining brightly in the state with no fog formation during the past one month, the day and night temperatures have dipped bringing the winter conditions.
In some high altitude areas, the ever beautiful icicles have started forming which is becoming a big attraction for tourists. “These icicles are formed when the temperature dips to 2-3 degree,” said met office.
Tourists in Mussoorie are also enjoying the beautiful evening scene of winterline these days. A winterline festival in Mussoorie has also started this week which has become a big attraction over the years. Special lightening arrangements have been made in Nainital. “Nainital looks so pretty as the dusk falls,” said Manorama Bisht, a resident of Nainital.
Meanwhile, most of the hotels in the hill stations have already been almost packed to the brim. Howevre, there are some hotels where rooms are still available. “We have some rooms still vacant,” said an official at the famous Everest Hotel at Mall Road, Nainital. Ends
