Projects description

Short on time but dreaming of the snow? Our 3 Days Shortest Auli Tour from Dehradun is the quickest way to experience Auli, India’s favourite ski destination, with two nights in the mountains and a full day to explore. The journey itself is part of the experience. From Dehradun, drive past Rishikesh and up the sacred Ganga and Alaknanda valleys, stopping at the confluences of Devprayag and Rudraprayag and the riverside Dhari Devi Temple, before climbing through Karnprayag and Joshimath to Auli. Spend your second day enjoying Auli at its best: sunrise over Nanda Devi and Trishul, a chairlift ride over the slopes, the Auli Artificial Lake and, in winter, fresh snow and skiing. On the way back, pass the Nandprayag and Karnprayag confluences before your drop in Dehradun. This tour is ideal for weekend travellers, couples, families and anyone wanting a quick Himalayan escape without a long holiday.
