Tourists and revellers came out of their lodges, hotels and guesthouses to enjoy the snowfall. "The snowfall is terrific. We have come from Baroda, especially for the snowfall. We are feeling very good and enjoying a lot. We are experiencing such cold weather for the first time," said Chhaya, a tourist. "We are feeling as if we are in Switzerland. This is such a nice tourist resort that we do not feel like going anywhere else, not even abroad. It is a very good place," said Rakesh Pandaya, another tourist. "It's a heavy snowfall, though it started a bit late. The tourist influx is high, which augurs well for our business. People are happy to see the snow. Foreign and domestic tourists are registering their presence," said Dharam Singh, the manager of one hotel.
