The first snowfall of the season came in Mustang, which wiped out the daily routine in the high regions of Korala, Lomanthang and Muktinath. Heavy snow covered several areas, rendering movement difficult for pilgrims. The authorities have urged tourists not to travel on the Jomsom Muktinath road due to the slippery nature of the road. People living there opine that the snow will add water to the land and benefit crops.
