Auli is one of India's premier skiing destinations with snow-covered slopes, panoramic views of Himalayan peaks, and a serene winter vibe.
Shimla & nearby Himachal Hills
Shimla, and nearby Narkanda, offer a mix of colonial-era charm, snow-covered hills and easy access. Snow tends to fall in winter, making for a postcard-perfect hill station holiday.
