Auli Skiing Adventure Delhi Mountaineering Students’ Lifetime Experience in the Himalayas
Quick Summery
When the chill of winter wraps around Uttarakhand and Auli turns into a white wonderland, adventure seekers from all over India gather to experience the thrill of skiing. Among them this year was a batch of 20 mountaineering students from Delhi, who set off on an unforgettable journey to learn, laugh, and live amidst snow-clad peaks under the expert guidance of Instructor Hanumant Chauhan.
The Beginning of the Adventure
The journey began from Delhi with hearts full of excitement and backpacks packed with dreams. For most students, this was their first real encounter with snow — not just to see it, but to master it. Their destination: Auli, India’s premier skiing destination, known for hosting the National Skiing Contest (January 29 – February 2, 2026) and the National SkiMo Championship (March 16-19, 2026).
The group arrived just as the general skiing season — late December to early March — was at its peak, painting the slopes in dazzling white.
Auli: A Classroom of Snow
Upon arrival, the students checked into a cozy guest house overlooking the majestic Nanda Devi range. The air was crisp, the skies clear, and the slopes inviting. Every morning began with a warm, home-cooked breakfast — pahadi parathas, tea, and local dal-chawal served with a smile by the guest house owners who made everyone feel like family.
Under Hanumant Chauhan’s guidance, the team dove straight into their lessons. From balancing on skis to mastering the snowplow technique, every fall and every slide became part of their learning curve. The laughter echoing across the snowfields was proof that adventure truly brings people closer.
Lessons Beyond the Slopes
Each student came to learn skiing, but they took away much more — teamwork, discipline, and confidence. Hanumant sir’s calm teaching style, combined with his mountain wisdom, inspired everyone to push beyond fear. He often reminded them,
“In the mountains, patience and balance are your real strength.”
Evenings were spent around the fireplace, sharing stories and sipping on hot soup. Some students helped the locals prepare dinner, learning about Garhwali spices and recipes — a true taste of the Himalayas.

The Peak Moment
By the third day, the students were gliding smoothly down the beginner slopes, their movements more confident and graceful. Watching the sun set behind Nanda Devi while standing on skis was a moment of triumph — one that many described as “a lifetime experience.”
Their training coincided with the preparations for the National Skiing Contest, and witnessing professional skiers practicing on the slopes added extra motivation and awe.

Farewell to the Mountains
As the week came to an end, it was time to return to Delhi — but none wanted to leave. The students carried back not just certificates and photos but also new friendships, self-belief, and respect for the mountains.
On the way back, the bus was filled with chatter — stories of falls turned into victories, meals shared under the stars, and dreams of coming back next winter.

Auli: More Than Just a Destination
For this batch of mountaineering students, Auli wasn’t just a training ground — it was a turning point. The snow taught them resilience, the slopes taught them balance, and the silence of the Himalayas taught them peace.
As they reached Delhi, one student said with a smile,
“We came here to learn skiing, but we learned so much more about life.”
