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

and Kashmir, the hills of Kumaon, Himachal Pradesh and the North Eastern
states of India. Even the government has realized the immense tourism

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.
Auli,
Garhwal
The place offers you a 180 degrees view of the Himalayan peaks around
such as Nanda Devi, Kamet, Mana Parvat, Dunagiri which seem to be just a
stone's throw away. The slopes here are just right for excellent skiing
opportunities.

The place provides about 28 sq km of unhindered slopes for you to zip
pass the snow and after getting tired, you can easily savour the panoramic
view of the Himalayas.

Here again you get access to vast slopes where professionals can enjoy
themselves while skiing as well as with the views of the place.
Munsiyari, Kumaon
The place is the centre and the gateway of the Johar region. You can
