About Auli
India's premier ski destination at 2,800 m. The powder slopes face Nanda Devi, the country's second-highest peak. A 4-km cable car — Asia's longest — links Joshimath to the runs above.
Best Time to Visit
November to March (ski) / April to June (trek)
January and February deliver the best powder. In summer the ski runs become alpine meadows leading to the Kuari Pass trek and the Valley of Flowers.
