Description

Auli Snowshoe Walk offers a refreshing way to explore the winter landscape of the Garhwal Himalayas without needing skiing skills. After meeting the local guide and receiving a safety briefing, participants are fitted with snowshoes and learn basic walking techniques, including how to move uphill, downhill and across uneven snow.

The walk follows a suitable snow-covered route around Auli, with possible sections near open meadows and forest edges. Along the way, visitors can admire the peaceful mountain environment, enjoy views of surrounding Himalayan peaks and stop for photographs. The guide adjusts the route and pace according to the group's fitness, snow depth and weather conditions.

This experience is ideal for travellers who want to enjoy the snow at a relaxed pace rather than participate in a high-speed winter sport. Warm clothing, waterproof footwear, gloves and suitable eye protection are important. Snowshoe equipment and guide services should be confirmed in advance, as availability depends on local operators and weather.
