RJ Yash talks about a shocking reality check — half of December is gone and Manali hasn’t seen natural snowfall yet. With tourists still chasing snow, some operators are now importing artificial snow, spreading it in areas no bigger than an apartment, and charging up to ₹5,000 for skating.
Snow being transported in small tempos might look funny, but the reason behind it isn’t. This isn’t jugaad… it’s a loud reminder that climate change is real, and it’s already changing the experiences we grew up dreaming about.
