Hi Chits,

Where can i get details about these treks ?

chits007 · Nov 14th, 2007, 21:21

First decide where you want to go and information will flow..we have experince members here who will help you..

ranjan154 · Nov 15th, 2007, 21:27

That's my point, we have 5 days with us we can opt for any of the above options if we can do it with 5 days starting and reaching Delhi. Since I have no idea about these places ... it would be difficult for me to decide .. which trek would be suitable for me and my friends..

- Sking in Auli and trek upto Gorson

This seems to have skiing option also.. how about this trek information..

chits007 · Nov 15th, 2007, 21:41

Yes Auli is a good option you can do ski and optionally do some small trekking ..
check
www.gmvnl.com
gears etc they will provide check the website...
Auli can be reached via motorable road . Its 13 Kms from Joshimath.
have u done trekking earlier ?

amitsankrani · Nov 15th, 2007, 22:41

Auli is a good option. Also you may go for cable car ride for some good photography.
Else try Chopta to Tunganath can be done in a day or two. Chandrashila top may be inaccessible due to steep range. But you can try if you are enthusiast and have the willingness to cover with some gear. Chitrang is right. Refer www.gmvnl.com and book online for accomodation. Not sure if skiing will begin during this time. skiing camps are during march - may...

chits007 · Nov 16th, 2007, 00:26

@amit..
march-may..no man mid dec to mid feb max ...no-a-days bcoz of climate u hardly have ski slopes in march...
u can check on GMVNL.com they have ski course only in the mentioned season..u wont get TRH in Auli after a week all in booked

ranjan154 · Nov 16th, 2007, 11:09

Hi guys,

Thanks for all information, and I also visited the GVMNL site, So its Auli where we would be heading for. Pretty excited will get a chance to skii..

Any other Imers who would be at AULI at that time ? Also would like to know about the expenses .. any idea ?

chits007 · Nov 16th, 2007, 12:11

If u are sure going for Auli and you are not taking the families do get the booking at gmvnl.com online via credit cards...after couple of week it will be all booked..

expenses not much 300-400 perday /per person for ski gears and the guy will teach also ..

their is a sterling resort for better stay and food might be expensive ...

GMVN is cheap food and stay..check the website for room tarriff

Sometime even durity December due to lack of snow, you won't be able to skii. Instead a small suggestion guy. Stay at Ukhimath. Just 7 KM from Ukhimath there is a village called Sari. It is on the way to Chopta. Either stay or start trekking to Deoriatal. It's amazing place. Reflection of Chowkhamba is really worth to see. Even in winter it's the only way where you can trek.

santos_g15 · Sep 13th, 2008, 18:16
