Auli is a popular Himalayan Ski resort in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand at an elevation of 8200- 10,050 feet, 5 hours from the capital Dehradun. The snow-dressed slopes of Auli Bugyal (meadow) which were once paramilitary training grounds have been adjudged as one of the best skiing grounds of the world by French and Austrian experts.
