I am completely an adventure spots lover and never miss any opportunity that comes my way. I came to known through sport magazines that a thrilling adventure spot- heli-skiing probably the most exciting sport is introduced in the sub-continent. India the first Asian country to offer opportunities for heli-skiing made its debut in Kashmir in January 1988.
Myself a great lover of this most challenging sport knew well that this adventure requires prior skiing experience as well as a complete information of the physical features like the valley wind direction and hazard areas.

I knew that Himalayas provides complete skiing destinations and being a tremendous sports lover, I accepted a challenge of climbing the glacial regions with my heli skiing venture among the Indian Himalayas.

I came to know that the main Skiing area in Himachal Pradesh is Manali, Kufri and Narkanda. I contacted the manager in Himachal Helicopter Skiing at Mall Shimla and inquire about all my doubts as I know this sport challenges the risk-taking explorer in you, as you have to ski down through unknown routes and ridges. The authorities told me that Indian Himalayan region is just the best way to start off this thrilling sport. Some of the best opportunities included Hanuman Tibba, Deo Tibba, Rohtang Pass and Chandrakhani Pass near Manali.

The skiing season generally starts from the month of January and continues till Mid-March depending upon snow conditions. Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation organizes ski courses of 7 days and 15 days' duration at Narkhanda, 65 km every year. The facilities for the participants include boarding, lodging and equipment.

It was a sensational experience while trying the Heli Skiing in Himachal Pradesh. A ride of ten minutes took us to the top of a 14,000-foot high slope known as ridges by the helicopter and was dropped there. From there we criss crossed our way down the snow-capped mountains. It was just wonderful experience beyond explanation, an experience that left me wonder stuck. A well-trained ski instructor was arranged for us who had a thorough knowledge about the skiing area. We were told in the beginning that the guides' decisions are supreme and we have to respect them.

I took a heli-skiing package include 100,000 ft. of vertical skiing six-day guide service and use of an avalanche receiver, seven-light lodging in Manali plus all meals, escorted air and ground transfer Delhi-Manali-Delhi, airport transfers.
