Residents of Skardu said snowfall is still taking place on mountain peaks. Some visitors to Deosai Plains also reported fresh snowfall in recent days.
Officials in Mansehra said the area received more snowfall this year in April compared to previous years.
Weather experts say snowfall after March in northern Pakistan is not unusual. However, they added that the intensity of rain and snow has increased in recent years because of climate change.
