Mount Abu dips to -1°C, Ahmedabad sees 17°C

With the onset of winter in the west of India, Rajasthan’s Mount Abu recorded a sharp drop in temperature, with the mercury plunging to -1°C.

The highest peak in the Aravalli range, Guru Shikhar, registered an even lower temperature of -3°C, resulting in the area being covered with snow.

The sudden dip in temperatures has created a chilly atmosphere, attracting an increased number of tourists to the region.

At the Guru Shikhar peak, snow has already blanketed the surroundings, while in Mount Abu, vehicles parked in front of hotels, gardens, and open fields were seen covered with a layer of frost.
