Snowfall has been occurring from the district headquarters Chame to Upper Manang. Farmer Yangdung Gurung said that snowfall will help the crops. The farmers rely on snow for farming and hence face problems when there is no snowfall on time. When snowfall falls late, irrigation cannot be done properly, he said. The cold causes the water in the rivers, streams, and lakes to freeze, causing problems in irrigation. Since the water freezes at the source it is difficult to use other irrigation options. Farmer Serap Bista said that the delayed snowfall will help in apple cultivation, vegetable and food crops production. Meanwhile, tourist arrival has increased after the appearance of snow in the mountains.
