Will It Snow This December? IMD El Niño Advisory & Mountain Travel Realities
The Truth About December Snowfall
Many tour operators use stock photos of heavy blizzards to sell early December packages. In reality, deep blanket snow in town centers like Srinagar or Old Manali rarely settles before late December or Chillai Kalan (starting December 21). Under strengthening El Niño patterns, early winter can be crisp, dry, and sunny.
