In the laps of the mighty Himalayas in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand lie the epitome of adventure and mystic - Auli. It is a man-made ski ground and popular “Skiing” spot in India. 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.
So, strap up your bags to join the most extraordinary Auli trip with an extremely passionate group of people! It will most likely emerge as a perfect start to your lifelong tryst with the Himalayas.
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.
