Kashmir Snowfall: Kashmir’s winter season has made an early appearance this year, with light snowfall marking the beginning of the cold months in the region. On the morning of November 22, parts of Shopian and the historic Pir Ki Gali along the Mughal Road received their first snow of the season, adding a fresh layer of winter beauty to the landscape.

In the higher reaches of Shopian, snowflakes began to fall early in the day, gently covering the roads and surrounding scenery. This light snowfall signaled the arrival of the region's characteristic winter chill. The Pir Ki Gali stretch, located at an elevation of over 11,000 feet along the Mughal Road, also witnessed a brief but picturesque snow shower, which quickly turned the area into a winter wonderland.

The road, renowned for its historical significance and panoramic views, attracted travelers and photographers eager to capture the moment. The snowfall added a layer of magic to the already stunning surroundings.
