It is extremely cold in the Trans-Himalayan region of Lahaul-Spiti of Himachal Pradesh, meanwhile a beautiful sight is being seen in the Sisu Lake there. The once flowing lake is now engulfed in the icy embrace of winter and has turned into a magical frozen paradise.
Last weekend, temperatures in the valley dropped to a bone-chilling -15°C, painting the landscape in shades of white and silver. Sisu Lake, situated at an altitude of more than 12 thousand feet, is mainly facing this severe cold. Its crystal-clear waters (usually teeming with trout) have now succumbed to frost and turned into a glassy sheet of ice.
Just a few weeks ago, before the arrival of the New Year, the hill state of Himachal Pradesh was witnessing a huge influx of tourists. While other northern Indian states are shrouded in fog, Himachal Pradesh is enjoying clear skies and pleasant weather. Tourists are racing to enjoy skating in Kufri.
Tourists enjoying ice skating
Ice skating organizer Happy Chauhan said that we have been organizing ice skating on this pond in Hip Hip Hurray in Kufri for the last ten days, converting a swimming pool into an ice skating rink. We can organize ice skating throughout the day here.
Tourists are enjoying
Tej, a tourist from Andhra Pradesh, said that the weather here is good, cool and I am enjoying it, I am a beginner in ice skating. These people are helping me a lot in skating. It was a great experience here and I take the moments spent here with me. I would suggest my parents and family members to come here.
Anil Chaudhary, another tourist from Rajasthan, said that tourists from the plains are coming to Himachal Pradesh to enjoy the clear weather. We decided to explore North India and came to Kufri for ice skating. It was an amazing experience. We are roaming further in the hills here. The weather is very pleasant. There is a huge gathering of tourists here and I want everyone to come here.
