What to Expect
Expect jaw-dropping 270-degree views of the Himalayas, crisp mountain air, and a heavy reliance on the Joshimath-Auli ropeway. You'll find excellent skiing infrastructure in the winter and pristine trekking trails in the summer. Don't expect luxury malls, bustling markets, or a vibrant nightlife—Auli is all about nature, adventure, and early bedtimes.
- Altitude sickness is a real buzzkill here. You are sleeping at nearly 10,000 feet; take it easy on day one.
- The drive from Rishikesh to Joshimath is a grueling 9-10 hours on winding mountain roads. Motion sickness pills are mandatory.
- Food in Auli is basic and heavily overpriced because everything has to be transported via the ropeway. Eat big meals in Joshimath.
- During peak winter (Jan-Feb), the road from Joshimath to Auli is often completely blocked by snow. The cable car becomes your only lifeline.
- Nightlife is non-existent. If you want to party, go to Kasol. Auli is for bonfires and stargazing.
Things to Do
Plan Your Trip
Fly into Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport or take a train to Rishikesh/Haridwar. From there, hire a cab or take a bus for a rugged 9-10 hour drive to Joshimath. From Joshimath, take the 25-minute cable car (ropeway) directly into Auli, or hire a local 4x4 taxi for the 16km road journey.
Local Guide
Eat your heavy meals in Joshimath where food is cheap and varied. Up in Auli, options are limited to hotel buffets and a few Maggi points, and prices are double due to transport costs.
