MY ENCOUNTER WITH THE SNOWCLAD DALHOUSIE ON CHRISTMAS..

Many of us had been to Dalhousie like me before , but to be there on Christmas & be a witness to a white Christmas at Dalhousie is luck bychance. 2 days before Christmas this year 2013, we planned to go off to Patnitop to enjoy the snow. Its was 6am in the morning that we all started from our Jammu home but soon got very upset to see a terrible traffic jam on the Jammu bypass road.............vehicles where hardly moving ahead;We had to take a spot decision ,either to drive off 100kms in 8hrs(because of very slow traffic movement)or drive off 170kms to Dalhousie in 4hrs.
    We all took a U-turn & off we go to Dalhousie,though bit sceptic to get snow there or not;We drove from JammuCity via Kathua,Mamuun,Dunera, Nainakhad,  to DALHOUSIE.

As we entered the Dalhousie limit , we were thrilled to see snow on the roadside; Now feeling happy to take the decision to drive off to Dalhousie.Soon the enthusiasm kept increasing............. What a beauty !!!! all around snow;

Our enthusiasm saw no boundary now..................

But how to drive & Where's the road to move on .........................???Crazy situation indeed.

Just kept wondering!!!!! This wasn't the same look ,that we saw of Dalhousie in Nov'2012....Its all covered in snow...............Though looks amazingly beautiful But now after continuing our stay here in Jammu city this winter, I can say that its thrilling to see the snow  covered landscape but for those live here amidst the snow , Life is very very tough to continue....................Hope all those who would love to enjoy the coming Christmas in the hills of Dalhousie ,be lucky enough like us to be a witness to this White beauty.
