So we all started from Haridwar early in the morning before the sunrise for one of our dream destination i.e.
Auli (Uttarakhand), the best part of our journey was the mountains as it comprised 90% of our journey. We drove through Rishikesh, Srinagar, Chamoli and reached Joshimath before the sunset. We checked in to our pre-booked resort i.e The Tattva resort. I would like to add something about the resort as it is beautiful, in the lap of mountains, very well decorated and managed by experienced people in the business. As the day was about to get over we wandered in the local Joshimath market and after that we had our meal for the night & we came back where we stayed , offered Salah before going to sleep. One more thing to add to people's knowledge is that there is water scarcity in and around Joshimath.
The excitement aroused with the very first sight through the window, as the mountain in front was all bathed in sunlight and the purity in the air added freshness to kick-start our day. Wasting no time we geared up for the breakfast and were ready to go towards Auli. We took a cable car to reach our destination, the ride had some breathtaking views that added thrill to our experience. Coming out of the station, a voice calling out for skiing fired me up and after discussing with my brothers we decided to move up the mountain ( a little to trek on) and at the top comes the jackpot of our journey because the scenes were enthralling . That particular spot was all covered in snow and there were people who were trying to ski for the first time and I was one of them. With certain number of tries I managed to do it for a very short distance. Skiing added adventure to our trip as it mainly comprised of falls. I would suggest skiing to all as it's a great sport for balance and focus.After finishing up, the time for some poses came up after which we all went down again to Joshimath. We finished our lunch and decided to head towards Tapovan another hidden beauty in the mountains. It was all picturesque like a bollywood movie set & the hot water spring was like a cherry on the cake . We had our snaps taken and came back to our place where bonfire was waiting for us with our fellow hotel mates. On that note we ended up our ever exciting day and slept with a smile on our faces, thanking God for this beautiful moment
On the last day our trip, we left Joshimath before the sunrise recounting our memories of the last day. The last day of any trip is not quite exciting compared to other days of journey but there was a surprise waiting for us on the way. That surprise came up in the form of a river beach surrounded by mountains near a place called Srinagar. This was the fun part of our trip as we took some very funny pictures on that sandy surface. After which we moved towards our starting point i.e Haridwar. And the excitement came to an end .The trip came out to be a little over the budget as we spent more than 7.5k each as the travel was all done with the car else the story would have been different but it was all worth it.
So Auli laga salude (ski capital of India) should be on your bucket list, if you are a mountain lover.
