3. Auli (Uttarakhand) Located at a height of 9,500-10,500 feet in Uttaranchal, Auli is laden with snowy slopes against the breathtaking backdrop of azure skies. This beautiful hill station is very cold during winter with fresh mountain air sweetly scented with pine. If you are seeking for fun and adventure here, swoop down the snow capped mountain slopes on skis. Skiing courses are available for beginners, just as much as skis for kids, who also love building their own snowman. Do not forget to check out Auli's temples and hot springs, and enjoy its spiritual ambience. The great saint Adi Shankaracharya attained enlightenment (moksha) here. You can also take a ropeway ride from Joshimath.
