Snowfall is occurring in the high Himalayan regions of Dolakha and winter rains in the lower regions. Snowfall has occurred in the high Himalayan regions including Kalinchowk and Beding since Wednesday afternoon with the change in the monsoon.

Last Monday, there was snowfall in the high regions of Dolakha along with strong winds. After the rain and snowfall throughout the day, the herds of cattle that had reached the high regions for grazing have been affected. The cold has increased with the snowfall until the last week of Chait. Farmers in the lower regions are worried that the crop will not bear fruit due to the regular rains including hail during the potato harvesting period. Farmers who have already sown maize are happy that the maize sprouts will sprout as the fields are wet.

Hoteliers in Kalinchowk are excited, saying that the number of domestic tourists will increase after the snowfall. Vehicles of domestic tourists who went to visit and visit the Kalinchowk area have been stranded on the road due to snow.

With the start of the tourist season, the tourist villages of Beding and Nama have been affected by heavy snowfall in the area. The residents of Bigu Rural Municipality-1 Lapchi, who reached Lapchi from Lumnang with yaks and horses due to the snowfall, have also been affected.

To escape the cold, the residents of Lapchi, who descend from Lumnang, climb Lapchi with yaks and horses as soon as Chait begins. Even though Lapchi ascended late this year, the locals have said that it has become difficult to go out due to the continuous snowfall. In previous years, the heat has increased at this time, but this year Dolakha has been experiencing snowfall and rain every day since the first week of Chait.
