Snow has blanketed several tourist destinations including Murree, Swat, Kalam, and Galyat region, attracting large number of tourists, and causing disruption in traffic movement.
As tourists thronged northern regions, people also captured picturesque destinations and some even tried out different winter sports. People were excited as it was the season’s first snowfall in 2024. To avoid any unwanted situation, the district administration also shared advisory for tourists.
As Murree and other tourist sites were covered in snow, roads were slippery, which exacerbated the fun. Commuters who will be taking their cars without proper precautions could face slippery roads.
