Why in News
Around 40 tourists, who got stranded following heavy snowfall in West Bengal’s highest Himalayan destination Sandakphu.
Tourists were evacuated to safer places, a Darjeeling district official said on Friday.
The arterial road connecting Sandakphu with Manebhanjan on the way to Darjeeling town was under a foot of snow at some places, disrupting traffic movement.
The hamlet, which offers a stunning view of the Kanchenjunga, the Everest and some other peaks in the Himalayas, is a favourite spot among adventure-loving tourists visiting the Darjeeling hills.
