Uttarakhand (English: /ˌʊtəˈrɑːkʌnd/), officially the State of Uttarakhand (Uttarākhaṇḍ Rājya), formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Devbhumi (literally "Land of the Gods") due to many Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Uttarakhand is known for the natural environment of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai. On 9 November 2000, Uttarakhand became the 27th state of the Republic of India, being created from the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh. It borders Tibet to the north; the Province No. 7 of Nepal to the east; and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south and Himachal Pradesh to the west and north-west as well as Haryana on its south-western corner. The state is divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with a total of 13 districts. The interim capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, the largest city of the state, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is located in Nainital.

Auli is a Himalayan ski resort and hill station in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. It’s surrounded by coniferous and oak forests, plus the Nanda Devi and Nar Parvat mountains.

Auli is a wonderful hill station which is at apprx 500 kms from Delhi.I prefer to visit this place during winters as it offers best of ski slopes and continuous ski slope of apprx 1.3 kms. One can travel from Delhi to Haridwar or Dehradun and from there one can take local buses or jeeps.This is the cheaper way of transportation and would cost around Rs 700/= to Rs 1000/= in 2019.There would be a requirement to change transport on the way as most of the buses and jeeps would not go all the way to auli. A more comfortable option is to hire a car/SUV upto Joshimath which would take apprx 10 hrs and cost Rs 7000-10,000/= .From Joshimath take another cab upto Auli which is a 14 km climb.This would cost another Rs 800/=.There is also provision of a cable car from Joshimath to Auli which takes around 20 minutes and offers a beautiful scenic view along the way. Now, for skiing, GMVN has a very well established facility at Auli with dedicated skiing courses for beginners to advanced skiing.These courses cost apprx Rs 15000 for 7 day course and apprx 37000 for 14 day course which includes ski equipment,training,accommodation and food for the duration. GMVN also has deluxe rooms which one can separately hire for Rs 4000-5000 per day.It does not snow very well every year at Auli nowadays view the global warming scenario.So ,it is very important to check from GMVN the snow condition prior to taking a skiing holiday as and not finding much snow to ski can be really disappointing.

Chilmiri is just 3km from chakrata and one can easily walk all the way to chilmiri. First 2 km on the chakrata-mussorie road has minimal traffic and last 1km is lovely slight uphill walk. Once you reach here, its totally open and flat. If its not foggy then one can see kilometers from here. People come here for sunrise and sunset view. Once you reach the end of the flat surface, don't hesitate to go down and then again to the top of the next mountain to have a look of the other side (Its amazing and quiet). You can also see flat and green shooting range with young jawans trying there hand in shooting (easily audible). But going to that point is restricted. One can easily spend some quiet and peaceful time there.
