In
the beatified flushes of nature, cloaked under the moaning white layers of
snow, the mistress of Ski and adventure Auli is subdued for its consummate
slopes that lure out even the frigid hearts scared of Skiing. No... if you
nurture some vast self losing sight of Auli you are wrong. Auli is just
5-7kms in area, but since it is located way up between 9,500 and 10, 500 ft,
it commands excellent views of the surrounding peaks which soar well over
23,000 ft. The air is cold here and fresh, scented with pine; the skies are
stunning azure blue. The snow at Auli is powdery that also attracts hordes
of crowd during winters. Auli is pretty miraculous and all the more alluring
during the winters. Auli emplaced !!!
Auli is located in the north eastern corner of Garhwal, towards the north eastern state of Uttaranchal. You can fetch Joshimath at a distance of 16 kms from Auli. The slopes offer a panoramic view of many a famous Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi, Kamet, Mana Parvat and Dunagiri. The government is trying a new spanking new cable cars rope way that traverses 4 km up the hill from Joshimath, transporting you over the top of oak and fir trees to Auli. And when you swoop down the slopes, you don't have to worry about the trudge back up: the baby slopes have a 1,640-ft ski lift, and the advanced slopes have a 2, 620-gt chair lift to haul you up to the top.





Take
the kids along, bung a pair of skis onto their feet and watch them fly
after the initial hesitation. Plus, there is snow castles to be built.
