FUN FILLED SKIING RESORT
Bugyal in the local language means "high altitude meadow". The road to Dayara Bugyal branches off near Bhatwari, a place on Uttarkashi - Gangotri Road, which is about 28 kms. from Uttarkashi.

Vehicles can go up to the village of Barsu, from where one has to trek a distance of about 8 kms. to reach Dayara. The other route is via village Raithal, 10 kms. from Bhatwari, from where one has to trek about 6 kms. to Dayara Bugyal. Situated at an elevation of about 3048 m, this vast meadow is second to none in natural beauty.

During winter it provides excellent ski slopes over an area of 28 sq. kms. Dayara bugyal affords a panoramic view of the breathtakingly beautiful Himalayas. There is a small lake in the area that provides an excellent camping site.

From this spot one can trek down through dense forests to Dodi-Tal, which is about 32 kms. away.

EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF SKIING
Auli is nestled in the lap of the snow-capped peaks of Garhwal Himalayas in the Chamoli District of western Uttar Pradesh, near the world famous religious shrine of Badrinath.

At an altitude of 2,500-3,050 metres above sea level, Auli's well-dressed slopes are flanked by coniferous and oak forests and offer a panoramic view of Mt. Nanda Devi, Mana Parbat, Dunagriri, Beethartoli, Nilkanth, Hathi Parbat And Ghori Parbat.

The rugged and snowy terrain of Auli is so challenging that it used to be a training ground for India's para-military forces in the 1970's.

Realising the potential of Auli as a ski-resort, the Government of U.P. had it surveyed by French and Australian experts, who favourably compared the slopes of Auli to the best in the world. Auli is today a promising ski-spot and an ideal winter resort.
