According to me Kufri is the best.

Rohtang pass / gulmarg are also good.

Good recommendations !!!! But, the timing is very important. If you mention the timing (month), I am sure you will get more specific info.

Gaumukh - Tapoban in early May. Short & comparatively easy trekking.

hi rakesh,
there wudnt be much snow anywhere in june end as there was comparatively less snow this year.but if u go beyond rohtang pass, and do the chandratal trek or surajtal trek,u'll get snow,u can also trek across baralacha la pass ,all of them in lahaul-spiti district.

June end and 4-6 days trekking in snow – sorry, I am not sure but I think tough. Be ready for rain during end of June. Goecha la trek can offer you snow but it is certainly not the 4-5 days trek. It will take not less than 10 days. Else, considering the available time if you want a great view, can go for Sandakphu in West Bengal. But you can expect rain specially in Eastern Himalaya.

Hemkundji Sahib- Valley of Flowers to Auli
the trek is amazing and Auli has perhaps the best ski slopes along with that of gulmarg in India
