1st time ever: Snow disappears from Uttarakhand's Om Parvat
Millennium Post Delhi|August 28, 2024
Snow disappeared completely for the first time ever from Uttarakhand's Om Parvat last week, leaving visitors wondering what was wrong.

Experts attributed the phenomenon to scanty rain and scattered snowfall in the upper Himalayan region over the past five years, rise in vehicular pollution, and global warming.

An official had said the tourism in the region could get impacted if the hill remained snowless for a longer period.

However, snowfall on Monday night brought back snow to Om Parvat.

Om Parvat, a popular tourist spot in Vyas valley, is located at an altitude of around 14,000 feet.

The snow atop the hill naturally forms a pattern resembling the Hindi word “Om”, which is how the spot derived its name.

"It was really disappointing to see Om Parvat which has a reputation of being eternally clad in snow, utterly devoid of it when I went there on August 16," a visitor said.
