Manali has been transformed into a picturesque winter wonderland thanks to a recent heavy snowfall.

On Sunday, the region was blanketed in thick layers of snow, with rooftops, trees and roads covered in white, delighting tourists who have arrived in large numbers to witness and enjoy the season’s charm.

Akira, a tourist says, "This is something we've only seen in our dreams, reels, and movies - but experiencing it for the first time feels completely surreal. I've actually lost my voice, yet I still want to stay here. I literally have no words to describe this moment; it's that dreamy."

Another tourist from Delhi Radhika says, "We've been here since yesterday, waiting for the snowfall, and it's finally happening—live snowfall. We came here to celebrate our first anniversary, and we planned this trip especially by tracking the weather forecasts. And honestly, we're loving every bit of it. As you can see, it's snowing."

The weather department predicts that snowfall and rainfall will continue across the middle and upper reaches of Himachal Pradesh on February 2 and 3.
