India's skiing excursions provide an exhilarating way to see snow-capped mountains, mostly in the Himalayas. With its snow-capped slopes atop the Pir Panjal range, which is a part of the Gulmarg Ski Resort, Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir stands out as India's top skiing destination. With routes ranging from 2,600 to 4,000 meters, the Gulmarg Gondola, Asia's tallest ski lift, serves both novices and specialists. With new snowfall in January and February, the season, which lasts from December to March, peaks.

Another jewel is Auli in Uttarakhand, which is perfect for beginners and families due to its mild slopes and expansive vistas of Nanda Devi. Its season coincides with Gulmarg, and facilities for creating artificial snow help. While lesser-known locations like Mundali and Narkanda provide unconventional possibilities, the Solang Valley near Manali, Himachal Pradesh, offers shorter skiing sessions amid breathtaking landscapes.

Guided trip operators such as Himalayan Skiing and Mercury Himalayan Explorations offer lodging in comfortable lodges or camps, along with instructors and equipment. Because neighboring towns provide native cuisine and customs, skiing here blends adventure with cultural immersion. Skiing in India is becoming more popular among domestic and foreign enthusiasts looking for winter thrills thanks to better infrastructure and reasonably priced packages.
