Bandipora, J & K : Fresh snowfall was recorded in the higher reaches of Kaobal Gali in the Tulail area near the Line of Control (LoC) in Gurez Valley of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Saturday, bringing a noticeable change in weather conditions across the high altitude area.
The snowfall covered the mountainous landscape with a fresh layer of snow, giving the upper reaches a distinctly wintry appearance and adding to the scenic beauty of the area.
Locals said Kaobal Gali, situated in the higher reaches of Tulail Valley, frequently experiences snowfall during colder weather conditions due to its high elevation and mountainous terrain.
The latest spell was particularly visible across the upper reaches, where temperatures remain considerably lower than in the plains. The snowfall also marked an early shift towards wintry conditions in the higher areas of the Gurez-Tulail belt.
The Gurez-Tulail area has witnessed snowfall in its higher reaches during previous weather events as well with elevated areas often receiving precipitation in the form of snow when temperatures drop.
Meanwhile, further details regarding the exact intensity of the snowfall and the amount of accumulation recorded at Kaobal Gali were not immediately available.
The fresh snowfall has once again highlighted the distinct weather conditions prevailing in the upper reaches of Bandipora district, while adding to the natural charm of the mountainous Tulail area.
