4 Things to do in AULI

If you have a thing for snow, if you love chilly weather and if you have plans to go to Switzerland but your bank balance is not agreeing with you, well there is a place which is full of crystal white snow with astonishing scenic beauty – AULI. I know you all have a list of places to visit once in a lifetime..my suggestion...you better write Auli in it..WHY ??? Here are the 4 reasons to write AULI in your list - 

1) Skiing - Out of the all the sports, Skiing is one thing which is difficult to even see in India and Auli is one place where you can actually experience it. The season for skiing in Auli is Late December to March. (If you are going to Auli just for Skiing, do confirm the availability of skiing activities).

2) Trekking - When people ask me, why do you spend so much time in travelling in your trips ? I say one thing...'I meet myself while travelling' Have you ever experienced such thing ?? NO??? GO TREK IN AULI...You will fall in love with the purity of this place.

Trekking Options - a)  Auli to Gorson (7 km)

                                b) Gorson to Tali (6 km)

                                c) Kuari Pass to Khulara (12 km)

                                d) Khulara - Tapovan (9 km) 

 3) Hanuman Temple - There is a small Hanuman Temple near Auli which has connection with Ramayana. It is said that when younger brother of Lord Rama, Laxman got injured in the war with Indrajit. Hanuman was ordered by Lord Rama to get a particular herb (sanjeevani) to cure Laxman and on the way to sanjeevani parbat, Hanuman took rest in Auli before resuming his journey to Himalayas. Whether you are religious or not I think it is a nice place to visit.

4) Cable Car - One of the best things of Auli - cable car. It's like seeing heaven from the top. The cable car service is available from Joshimath to Auli which will take 20 to 25 minutes. If you are going in winters, you will see some amazing sights from cable car. They charge Rs 400 to 500 per person which is completely worth for such a mind blowing experience.

So that's it....make up your mind, pack your bags and go to Auli...you would surely fall in love with it.
