17th January, 2013 Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India
After a month of clear sunny days, it was raining when I got up. I trusted the weather gods and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute for a day long snowfall. They were right and it was beautiful. So, here are some pictures for those who missed it.
I would also like to thank my friend, Aasheesh Mehta who saved me and my camera with his umbrella while I was shooting in the blizzard, during the first day of snowfall.
I am posting the first batch of images as I am leaving for the Allahabad in the morning for the Maha Kumbh Mela. More pictures will follow.
Hope you like them.
Cheers!

hey this is so beautiful.
I’m planning to visit Shimla this winter.
When do u think it snows in Shimla?
December or the safer bet would be January first week?
Any idea bout snow in Mcleodgunj or Dhamasala – Does it snow there?
Awsmm photogrphyy….
OMG…. electrical moments entering your pictures’ world…. thank you!
BTW: in the first one, the pair of colored umbrellas: a coincidence ?! ;0)
The cheapest and the most common umbrellas you get in Shimla. Even I had one. Won’t recommend buying one. Really bad.
Thanks a lot 🙂 Glad you liked them
