Ouch. This year plans of a lot people to visit Spiti in winter got ruined. On the plus side, all this snow is good to help recuperate the earth and rivers.

A group of Friends had to returned from Kufri only because of skidding of their car !
They went on 24 Jan -28 Jan Trip.
Changed plan to Other side of Himachal,
Mcleodganj side was open and reachable.

More snowfall expected by this weekend. Those who are planning to travel to Spiti, be extra careful now. Due to increasing temperature, fresh snow can lead to avalanches.

Any update on current Snowfall in Narkanda.
I am planning to cross it this weekend enroute to Chitkul or Kalpa.
Whether updates showing good amount of rain and snow for next 8-9 days.

If you are heading towards Kinnaur and the worry is only about Narkanda, then you can skip it by taking this route: Panchkula to Rampur Bushahr

Yogesh Bhai, what about the condition of the roads on this route? As good as Shimla-Rampur?

The road is narrower and runs along the Satluj. In all likelihood, you will not encounter snow on this route. It joins the main highway at Sanj.
