Auli Skiing Tour Package

Day 1: Delhi to Rishikesh to Joshimath

Leave Delhi early in the morning and drive to Rishikesh for a short breakfast halt. Continue along the Ganga through Devprayag, Srinagar and Karnaprayag to Joshimath. Check in, relax and have dinner at the hotel. The drive is long, so an early start is recommended.

Day 2: Joshimath to Auli, Skiing Orientation

After breakfast, drive up to Auli, with views of Nanda Devi and Mana Parvat on a clear day. Collect your ski gear and meet your instructor for the basics: balance, stance, braking and safe falling. Practise on the beginner slope and return to the hotel for the evening.

Day 3: Full-Day Skiing and Cable Car

Spend the day on the slopes with your instructor, moving from beginner practice to gentle runs as your confidence grows. Take the Joshimath-Auli ropeway for panoramic Himalayan views, and visit Gorson Bugyal if conditions allow. Overnight stay at Joshimath or Auli.

Day 4: Auli to Rishikesh

Enjoy a final morning of skiing or sightseeing, then check out and drive back towards Rishikesh. On arrival, check in and spend the evening at leisure, with an optional visit to the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat.

Day 5: Rishikesh to Delhi

After breakfast, drive back to Delhi. The tour ends on arrival, with drop-off at your preferred point.

Important travel information

Skiing at Auli is seasonal and depends on snowfall, usually from January to early March. If there is not enough snow, ski sessions may be replaced with sightseeing, the cable car ride or a short walk to the snow line. Road conditions between Rishikesh and Joshimath can change with landslides, snowfall or maintenance work, so the itinerary and travel timings may be adjusted for safety. Auli is at about 2,500 metres, so carry warm layers, waterproof gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen and any personal medicines. Ski sessions are suitable for beginners and are led by a certified instructor, but guests with knee, back or heart concerns should check with a doctor before booking. Cancellation terms, the payment schedule and the final inclusions will be shared in writing with your confirmed quotation.
