Shimla – this new year

Shimla witnessing lowest temperature of the season of around freezing point! And so, businessmen are happy.

Dal Lake is frozen, for the third time in history. Earlier, Dal was found frozen during the recoded years of 1964, 1986 and then now 2010. Instead of bone-breaking cold, tourists are flocking continuously in Srinagar. Mercury has dropped down to -6 degree Celsius. All these because of Western Disturbance! And this low mercury over northern region has resulted chilly weather in middle parts of India as well. Shimla has witnessed snow fall for last two days, and this has resulted in the happiness of local business people. Tourist around the India have started flocking in Shimla since last two days, majorly, and due to the snow bed now, more tourists are likely to come. According to me, all major hotels and resorts are full-booked and second and third tier accommodations are on the verge of getting packed.

Snow bed has resulted in extreme climate, but tourists coming from all over India are hardly worried of the cold, rather they are coming especially to witness the snow fall and enjoy the solitude.

Along with normal tourism, cross-selling would happen for sure. Viz. Snow Ski, Snow Boarding, jeep safaris, et cetera. There are certain vantage points in Shimla and in nearby areas, from where nice ecstatic view of Himalayans can be observed. Innate beauty and pristine climate in December, especially due to snow fall, has made Shimla a prime destination for the celebration new year. 31st December, this year around would witness, new heights of adrenalin rushes across the tourist folks in Shimla. Pristine climate, innate beauty and spectacular mesmerizing vistas - with snow clad silver mountains: Shimla - I found it intrinsic.
