What is winterline?
Winterline refers to the dark false horizon that is formed in the winter at certain places around the world. It is visible from certain mountainous destinations in India and the Swiss Alps. In India, you can see it at Landour, Mussoorie, Doon Valley and Mizoram, to name a handful. This is the reason the festival in Mussoorie also gets its name.
