Snowfall at Kuari Pass leaves trekkers thrilled

Nov 28, 10:00 a.m.: It has been snowing since yesterday at Kuari Pass, leaving at least 6 inches of snow across the Khullara and Taali campsites. Trekkers opened their tents this morning to witness the landscape draped in snow, something every trekker dreams of. 

Given that it is the onset of winter, this snowfall was expected. The temperatures have been dropping almost -8 degrees every night. Additionally, winters in Kuari are known to be notoriously cold, much colder than other winter treks.

Currently, all our trekkers are safe and happy on the trek. Even though one team did not get a chance to go to the summit because of the sudden snowfall, all trekkers were in high spirits after witnessing a snowfall. The climate right now is still cloudy, and another wave of snowfall may be on the horizon. 

Upcoming trekkers must come geared up with the right layers (at least 5 layers for the winter). Keep in mind that snow also raises the difficulty of the trek by a notch. Fitness is key to having a comfortable trek. 

If you’d like to trek in snow or even witness a snowfall, plan your winter trek soon (choose Jan and Feb for higher snow!)
