Adventure in the remote places like Auli is really worthwhile experience.Snow skiing here is a real breathtaking adventure. Auli, located in Garhwal Himalayas in Uttaranchal is another major skiing resort of India.The Manali Region in Himachal Pradesh also offers scope for winters as well as summer skiing. It has excellent natural slopes and in the summer months has limited skiing possibilities at Narkanda.

Snow is the reason
Auli is an excellent destination for adventure sports in India, especially snow -skiing. A 3 kms. long slope ranging from a height of 2519 mts. to 3049 mts. is a major attraction. You can make use of snow beaters which beat the snow to keep the slopes fit for skiing at all times. A 500 mts. long ski-lift carries skiiers back to the slope top, thus saving them the trouble and time to bridge up wearing long skis.

In the lap of nature!
The hills of Uttaranchal Pradesh have all the ingredients for adventure packed with excitement and thrills - an unexplored valley, towering peaks, flowing rivers, snow-capped mountains, a splendid combination of flora & fauna and vast tracts of virgin snow. The region also provides immense opportunities for adventure sports like skiing and the thrilling water sports which make Uttaranchal Pradesh an ideal venue for adventure seekers.

The large slopes of Garhwal and Kumaon covered with seasonal snow have now become an ideal place for skiing in the winter months. With their wide open spaces beyond the snowline, Garhwal & Kumaon offer yet another exciting possibility - ski touring amongst the glaciers. For the enthusiastic skier, cross-country runs of 10-20 kms. are now available, with the added advantage of fresh powder snow, away from criss-crossing streams of skiers that overtake the slopes of the European Alps. Because of their height and spread, Garhwal and Kumaon, like other sectors of the Himalayas, are in position to offer the thrills of exploratory long distance skiing round the year.
