About this tour
If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the thrill of skiing or simply wished to immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of snow-capped mountains, Auli in Uttarakhand is the destination you’ve been searching for. Situated in the heart of the Garhwal region, Auli offers a captivating blend of adventure, nature, and serenity, all within the spectacular backdrop of the mighty Himalayas.
Nestled at an altitude of 2,800 meters, Auli is a popular winter retreat known for its smooth, snow-covered slopes that are perfect for skiing enthusiasts. Far from the need to travel to distant countries like Switzerland or Norway, Auli brings this exhilarating experience to the heart of India, making it a must-visit for anyone keen on snow sports or a winter getaway.
Auli’s scenic beauty is unmatched, with expansive oak forests that are transformed into a winter wonderland during the colder months. During the warmer seasons, the region comes alive with vibrant wildflowers, offering a completely different, but equally mesmerizing experience.
The area is also home to the highest artificial lake in the world, a stunning turquoise oasis that enhances the area’s natural allure. For those seeking adventure beyond skiing, Auli serves as a gateway to several iconic destinations, including the Valley of Flowers National Park, Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, and popular trekking spots like Gorson Bugyal and the Pangerchulla Summit.
In addition to its natural wonders, Auli boasts India’s longest and highest cable car ride, stretching 4 kilometers, linking Auli to the nearby town of Joshimath. From here, visitors can explore sacred sites such as the Shankaracharya Math, Narsingh Temple, and Kalpeshwar Mandir, making it a perfect destination for both adventure and spiritual seekers.
Whether you’re seeking a thrilling winter retreat for skiing or a peaceful escape into nature, Auli caters to every traveler. The best time to visit for skiing and snow activities is between December and March, when the region is covered in a pristine blanket of snow. However, if you prefer mild temperatures and wish to witness the breathtaking spectacle of blooming flowers, the months between June and August offer a vibrant burst of color across the meadows.
With its perfect mix of adventure, spirituality, and natural beauty, Auli stands out as one of the most enchanting destinations in Uttarakhand—promising an experience that is sure to leave you in awe.
