Auli has innumerable things to do and that too at an altitude of 3049 mt. You may indulge in a variety of snow activities primarily, Skiing in Auli which is a must do! For those who have young kids and Skiing seems to have safety concerns then snow has enough to offer you! Apart from the exotic nature trails, the hypnotic presence of the mountains will echo the right sounds for a perfect holiday! Nestled in the lap of Uttarakhand, Auli has been on the bucket list of umpteen mountaineers, and often referred to as a Mini Switzerland of India. From Trekking, Cycling to various Sightseeing options, Auli will turn out to be a perfect Adventure Holiday!

We at Great Indian Outdoors have created a spectacular stay at the Himalayan Eco Lodge, Auli. The lodge is a beautiful getaway, for it has the most idyllic views of the great Himalayan Peaks. The much cosy pahari cottages at HEL, Auli are an ideal retreat. Auli thrives in the spirit of adventure for its massive skiing slopes and a well facilitated ski lift to move to and fro between the slopes. A bird’s eye view from the Chair car at Joshimath, which lands directly to the last slope at Auli, ie. Tower 10, will be a picture-perfect sightseeing option as you glide in the air. The annual winter games at Auli which are conducted in the months of February & March have a lot in store for the adventure seekers. While this snowy dreamland will be the best holiday for children as they get to play the Snow games at their best. From making snowman, playing with snow balls, creating snow forts and riding on a snow scooter or a sledge, they can experience it all!

The Best Time to visit Auli is during winters, when the vast meadows and the cotton Canyon Mountains make it an ideal stop for trekkers. Apart from Trekking, one can hop on to drive to various sightseeing options like Temples of Govindghat & Pandukeshwar, the Joshimath Township, and also taste a mouthful of cultural shot at Lata & Parsari village. Together with Skiing, which is taught as a course at two levels- namely; Basic & Intermediate level, one can also indulge in rock based activities and picking up skills such as Rappeling, Boudering & Tree Jummaring.
