Skiing in Himalayas
The
snow covered terrain has a challenge of its own which brings out the best
in a human being, and skiing is the fastest and the most captivating
winter sport. The Himalayas boast of some of the finest winter playgrounds
which have undulations that will interest you no end and skiing is
undoubtedly one of the most popular sports here.
The spread of
the snow on these heights are reason enough to attract the tourists who
seek the ultimate in thrill and the sprawling white open spaces up above
on the mountains provide you just that. The skiing enthusiasts have a
multitude of options to choose from which include Jammu and Kashmir, the
hills of Kumaon, Himachal Pradesh and the North Eastern states of India.
Even the government has realized the immense tourism potential of skiing
which has resulted in the development of plethora of some of the most
modern skiing resorts coming up to cater to this demand.
Major Skiing Sites
Gulmarg,
Jammu and Kashmir
As a preeminent skiing resort of India, the
place Gulmarg presents to you a completely new personality in the winter
season. It often seems to us as if skiing is a very elitist sport and that
it is meant only for those who have undergone a very high level of
training and have access to very expensive instruments. You'll be
surprised to see that normal people like us can also enjoy skiing as a
recreational activity as well as an adventure sport.
In Gulmarg
you don't have to wear heavy woolen clothes as simple clothes will do just
fine for you. There are gentle slopes as well so you can call the place a
beginner's paradise as far as skiing is concerned.
