Skiing Tour Packages in India
Learn to ski or ride a snowboard in the Himalayas. We plan ski holidays at Auli, Gulmarg and Solang Valley with a certified instructor, gear hire, lift tickets and a warm hotel stay.
Skiing Tour Packages in India Overview
India has real ski slopes in the Himalayas. Auli in Uttarakhand has long wide slopes with views of Nanda Devi and a ropeway from Joshimath. Gulmarg in Kashmir has a high gondola and powder snow, loved by advanced skiers. Solang Valley near Manali is the easiest place for a first lesson, with short slopes and many instructors.
Our plan covers a few days of lessons or ski time, with gear hire, instructor fees and lift passes. We choose the area by snow, your level and your dates. Snow conditions, road access and lift timings change with each winter, so we share a plan B before you pay and keep you updated before travel. Skiing needs good weather, and heavy snowfall can close roads and lifts for a day or more.
From ₹15,500 per person twin sharing, 5 Days / 4 Nights at Auli, excluding travel to Haridwar or Rishikesh. Final price depends on dates and group size

Skiing Tips for India
- Book instructor time. Slots are limited in peak weeks. We book a certified instructor for your days.
- Dress in layers. Use thermals, a waterproof jacket, gloves and a cap. Avoid cotton.
- Rest on day 1. Altitude and cold can tire you. Take it easy before you ski hard.
- Keep a spare day. Heavy snow can close roads and lifts. A spare day helps with plans and flights.
- Apply sunscreen. Snow reflects the sun. Use sunscreen and sunglasses.
- Check the road. Winter roads to Joshimath and Gulmarg can change. We update you before you travel.
This is a likely plan. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, schedules or local rules.
