Welcome to India’s Winter Playground
Auli feels like a postcard come to life. Snow-covered slopes in winter, rolling green meadows in summer, and towering Himalayan peaks all around. The air is crisp, the views are wide, and life slows down in the best way. It’s one of India’s most loved skiing and snow destinations, but it’s just as beautiful for people who simply want quiet mountain time, chairlift rides, and sunrise views over Nanda Devi.
Must-Visit Attractions in Auli
Auli Ski Slopes
The gentle and steep slopes of Auli attract both beginners and experienced skiers. In winter, the area turns into a white wonderland where you can ski, snowboard, or simply play in the snow. Ski schools and trainers are also available during the main season.
Auli Ropeway
The ropeway between Joshimath and Auli is one of the longest in India and offers incredible aerial views of forests, valleys, and snowy peaks. The ride itself feels like an experience, not just transport.
Auli Artificial Lake
This small man-made lake is one of the highest in the world. Surrounded by mountains, it looks especially beautiful during sunset and in winter when snow carpets the area around it.
Gorson Bugyal
A short trek from Auli brings you to Gorson Bugyal, a wide alpine meadow surrounded by pine forests and high mountains. In winter it’s covered with snow, and in summer it turns lush and green.
Unique Experiences in Auli
Skiing and snowboarding (seasonal)
If you visit between December and February, you can try skiing or snowboarding under expert guidance. Even first-timers find it exciting and memorable.
Trek to Kuari Pass

Stay in mountain-facing resorts
Wake up to sunrise lighting up the mountains right outside your window. Auli’s resorts and camps offer peaceful stays away from city noise.
Stargazing on clear nights
With minimal pollution, Auli has clear skies where stars shine bright. Cold nights, a cup of tea, and a sky full of constellations create simple but unforgettable moments.
What Makes Auli Special
Auli combines adventure and calm in one place. You can spend the morning skiing, the afternoon riding the ropeway, and the evening sitting quietly, just looking at the snow peaks. There are no crowded markets or loud city distractions, just pure mountain scenery and fresh air. It’s ideal for honeymooners, families, and anyone who loves winter landscapes or high-altitude views.
Ideal Duration for Your Trip
Plan 2 to 3 days in Auli to enjoy skiing, ropeway rides, nearby meadows, and relaxed mountain stays. Add extra days if you’re planning long treks or visiting nearby places like Joshimath or Badrinath (in the right season).
