Two hundred and fifty domestic and foreign visitors currently exploring the Kanchanjunga area have been forced to halt their journeys mid-route due to severe weather conditions. The disruption follows the development of a weather system identified as a cyclone in the Bay of Bengal, which has triggered unfavourable meteorological patterns across high Himalayan zones. Higher altitudes have experienced snowfall, while lower valleys report persistent drizzle accompanied by biting cold. The combination of precipitation and freezing temperatures has made transit hazardous, leaving holidaymakers stranded in various locations as they attempt to navigate the region. Local conditions remain challenging for anyone attempting to move through the affected mountain paths. Observers confirm that the ongoing weather disturbances continue to pose obstacles for all groups currently positioned within the remote trekking corridors of the district.
