Locally people call it “Auli Bugyal” i.e., meadows. Thousands of visitors every year visit Auli for various activities and nearby attractions. In Auli, one can enjoy panoramic views of lofty Himalayas. Auli looks more astounding in winters because of snow-covered landscapes. Well, we suggest you why not just visit us and decide for yourself.

Who should attend?
Uttarakhand's Auli is a lovely hill town. The town is charming all year round despite its reputation as a haven for skiers. Yet, the best activities in Auli are only available during the winter. One can start by simply admiring the destination's ethereal beauty while it is covered with snow.

The journey starts from Delhi. Time is of the essence in any experience. Joshimath is around 513 km away from Delhi and takes approximately 13 hours to reach. Route - We make our way through Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Roorkee, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, before reaching Joshimath the following day. The journey to Rishikesh is an overnight one, after that we buckle up for another 8 hours of a little strenuous yet stunning mountain drive! Most part of the journey traverses the mountain side, with the river flowing below you. (Don’t forget to take pictures at the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers at Devprayag.)
