Ski slopes, snow-clad meadows and frozen wonderlands — here is where to chase your first snowfall in India.
For many Indian families, the first sight of snow is pure magic. From December to March, these mountain destinations transform into white wonderlands perfect for snow play and skiing.
Top snow destinations
- Gulmarg (Kashmir) — Asia's highest cable car and superb ski slopes.
- Auli (Uttarakhand) — India's premier skiing meadow with Nanda Devi views.
- Manali (Himachal) — Solang Valley snow sports and the Atal Tunnel drive.
When to go & what to pack
Peak snowfall runs late December to February. Pack thermals, waterproof gloves and boots, sunscreen and sunglasses — snow glare is intense.
First-timer tip
Rent heavy snow gear locally instead of buying, and hire certified instructors for any ski or snowboard session.
