On 25 May 2026, the Mina Marg and Zojila stretch of the Leh-Srinagar highway turned white with fresh snow. The same week, Delhi crossed 44\u00b0C with the IMD running an orange heatwave alert through 27 May (NewsX<\/a>, 2026), and most of north India sat inside a brutal pre-monsoon stretch. If you saw the headlines and wondered whether anyone in India could still feel snow underfoot this summer, the answer is yes \u2014 and not just in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers 12 destinations across Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Arunachal Pradesh where snow is genuinely on the ground through early-to-mid June 2026. Every entry includes the practical details that actually matter: how to get there, what it costs, when to go, and what’s accessible right now after the late-May weather system. We’ll start with what just happened on the highway, why it happened in the middle of a heatwave, and then move into the destinations you can plan around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh snowfall blanketed Mina Marg and Zojila Pass on the Leh-Srinagar highway on 25-26 May 2026 \u2014 a rare late-May event triggered by a Mediterranean western disturbance, even as Delhi baked in a 44\u00b0C heatwave under an IMD orange alert (NewsX<\/a>, 2026). The highway briefly slowed at Zojila but stayed largely open. Twelve destinations across Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal, Uttarakhand and Arunachal still hold snow on the ground for June trips.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
