Overview

About Auli with Chopta:

Auli with Chopta is a scenic Himalayan combination located in the Chamoli and Rudraprayag districts of Uttarakhand, India, ranging at an altitude of approximately 2,500 m to 3,000 m (8,200 ft to 9,800 ft). Auli is a renowned hill station and skiing destination, while Chopta is a quiet alpine meadow often referred to as the “Mini Switzerland of India”. Together, they offer a perfect blend of adventure, spirituality, and untouched natural beauty.

Auli is famous for its world-class skiing slopes and was developed as a winter sports destination by the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam. It offers panoramic views of majestic Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Devi, Kamet, Dunagiri, and Mana Parvat. Chopta, on the other hand, serves as the base for treks to Tungnath (the highest Shiva temple in the world) and Chandrashila Peak, making the region deeply significant in Hindu mythology and pilgrimage.

The region is surrounded by dense coniferous forests, alpine meadows, and rich biodiversity. During summer and monsoon months, the valleys bloom with rare Himalayan flora, medicinal plants, and high-altitude bird species. In winter, heavy snowfall transforms Auli and Chopta into snow-covered landscapes, attracting skiers, trekkers, and nature lovers from across the country.

Due to harsh winter conditions, Chopta experiences limited accessibility during peak snowfall months, while Auli remains active as a winter tourism hub. The area supports seasonal tourism, with locals adapting their livelihoods around weather conditions. Today, Auli with Chopta stands as an ideal destination for skiing, trekking, spiritual retreats, and peaceful Himalayan exploration.
