Activities & Experiences

From skiing and trekking to temple visits and stargazing — your complete activity guide.

Adventures and experiences around Auli

Auli and its surroundings pack an extraordinary range of experiences into a compact Himalayan landscape. Whether you're an adventure enthusiast, a spiritual traveler, or someone seeking quiet connection with nature, there's something deeply rewarding waiting here.

1. Skiing at Auli Ski Resort

India's premier skiing destination offers well-maintained slopes for beginners and intermediate skiers from December to February. Equipment rental and instruction are available on-site. The runs offer stunning views of Nanda Devi peak as you descend.

2. Auli Ropeway

One of Asia's longest cable cars connects Joshimath to Auli, spanning 4 km with jaw-dropping views of the Himalayan range. Check current operation locally before planning a ride. The ropeway and chairlift are separate services; keep road transport in your plans.

3. Trek to Gurson Bugyal

This gentle 3 km trek from Auli leads to a stunning alpine meadow at 3,056 metres. In summer, the bugyal is carpeted with wildflowers; in winter, it becomes a pristine snowfield. The panoramic views of Nanda Devi and Trishul from here are unforgettable.

4. Kuari Pass Trek (Lord Curzon Trail)

A classic moderate trek through dense oak and rhododendron forests, crossing alpine meadows with views of over a dozen Himalayan peaks above 6,000 metres. The 4–5 day trek is best attempted in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–November).

5. Visit Auli Artificial Lake

One of the world's highest artificial lakes, built for snow-making, has become a beautiful viewpoint in itself. The reflections of surrounding peaks in its waters create incredible photography opportunities.

6. Explore Joshimath's Ancient Temples

Joshimath is one of the four cardinal maths (monasteries) established by Adi Shankaracharya. Visit the Narsingh Temple, Shankaracharya Math, and other local heritage sites; Vasundhara Falls requires a separate journey towards Mana.

7. Nanda Devi National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this national park is home to rare Himalayan flora and fauna including the snow leopard, Himalayan musk deer, and hundreds of alpine plant species.

8. Stargazing

At over 2,500 metres with minimal light pollution, Auli offers some of the clearest night skies in India. The Milky Way is visible to the naked eye on clear nights — an experience best enjoyed from The Glamp Hills' open terrace.

9. Kagbhusandi Lake Trek

For experienced trekkers, this challenging 5–6 day trek leads to a remote glacial lake at 4,450 metres, surrounded by dramatic rocky terrain and steeped in mythological significance from the Ramayana.

10. Camping and Glamping

Experience the Himalayas from the comfort of a luxury dome tent at The Glamp Hills. Our glamping stays combine wilderness immersion with modern amenities — hot water, comfortable beds, and panoramic mountain views from your private space.
