There has been continuous snowfall in the Pathibhara area of Phungling Municipality-10 Furumbu and the Kanchanjungha area of Phaktanglung Rural Municipality-6 Lelep.
According to Rajendra Mahat, an employee of the Pathibhara Area Development Committee, it has been happening since Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. ‘It snows for a while, stops for a while, and then starts raining with snow again,’ Mahat said, ‘The weather is causing problems.’
Serap Sherpa, an executive member of Phaktanglung Rural Municipality in Lonak, informed that the weather is also similar in the areas of Khambachen, Lonak, and Ghunsa in the Kanchanjungha area, which is home to the world’s third highest mountain.
‘Tourists who came here have been stranded on the roads since yesterday after the snowfall,’ Sherpa said, ‘This much snow does not have a big impact. They stay for a day or two and go to their destination.’ If it is added more, there will be a problem.' He said that this year, the snow that did not fall in the month of Pus Magh is falling in the months of Falgun/Chait.
