New Delhi, The hills in Jammu and Kashmir are witnessing snowfall since mid-week and this is expected to continue during the weekend as well. So, it’s a great time to travel the region if you want to pick a snow fight. Here, we’re penned down a road map, which will help you to track snowfall and other weather conditions like minimum and maximum temperatures, rain, skies, etc. along the highway that will take you through the white mountains:

The National Highway N1 A, which is a part of north-south corridor and connects Srinagar with other parts of country, will be the main route to reach out to snowfall areas. Jammu will be the first destination or the point where you can halt to view the scenic valley and its snowfall.

So, the maximum and the minimum at Jammu would be around 20 and 10 degrees during the next two days. The temperatures would start falling as you reach higher altitudes. Rains would accompany you from the plains and turn into snow as you travel further up. Gulmarg, Pehalgam and the summer capital Srinagar are expected to receive snowfall along the way.  The maximum at Srinagar would fluctuate between 12 to 9 degrees till Sunday while the minimum would dip to zero on Saturday to again rise to 1 degree on Sunday. So, plan your trip, enjoy it and do tell us your experience in the comments section below.
