North Sikkim experienced its first snowfall as the region was coated in a layer of snow on February 22.
With significant snowfall in places like Lachung, Lachung and upper ranges of North Sikkim, a severe cold wave has engulfed the state of Sikkim and surrounding regions.
Locals have been advised by the district administration to exercise caution because numerous key communication links have been shut down as a result of the snow-covered highways.
It should be emphasised that Sikkim as a whole is experiencing a cold wave and additional snow is expected to fall in the coming hours.
Snowfall has the additional benefit of attracting tourists. Travel agents have already begun receiving reservations from all around the country for Sikkim where a sizable number of tourists are already arriving.
It is important to note that Pelling in Sikkim is one of the greatest towns for viewing snowfall in the region.
