Popular tourist destinations Shimla, Manali and Dalhousie remained cut off throughout Saturday from the rest of Himachal Pradesh following continuous snowfall.
Traffic bound for Shimla could only reach Shogi, about 15 km from the state Capital due to snowfall. likewise, heavy traffic on the National Highway-21 was blocked near Patlikuhl, 20 km before Manali.
Even traffic bound for towns in Shimla district such as Narkanda, Jubbal, Kotkhai, Kharapathar and Chopal have been disrupted. The road link to towns in upper Shimla is likely to be restored by Sunday evening, officials said.
The official advised tourists not to venture into remote areas as chances of heavy snow were high.
Several low hills of the state got snowfall after almost two decades, officials added.
