Warmest New Year 2026 wishes to all members of the Black and White community! I hope 2026 brings you much happiness.
Today's post is about the recent snowfall in Solang Valley. This trip took place in October, where I was volunteering at a trail running event. My volunteering duties included providing hydration to the runners and ensuring that any runner who strayed from the trail was rescued.
Solang Valley, situated at an altitude of 2450 meters, was completely transformed after two days of snowfall. Looking at the valley, it was hard to believe we were in Solang Valley; the snow had made everything look brand new.
The snow on the Dhauladhar mountain range had turned Hanuman Tibba, a peak with an altitude of 5985 meters, completely white. On the other side, the snowfall in the Pir Panjal range made Mukar Beh, Shikhar Beh, Friendship Peak, and Patalsu unforgettable for us.
The sparkling Solang village, nestled above the Beas River, was covered in a blanket of beauty. The deodar and pine trees on the mountainside added to the spectacular scenery. The tourists at our hotel below were overjoyed by the sight and were busy clicking many pictures.
My favorite photos are always of snow-covered mountain peaks, which you'll also find in this post. I hope you enjoyed this post. Has it started snowing where you are?
This is my entry for #monomad challenge.
