| Reena and Alwyn Menezes came from Mumbai to experience skiing -why go to Switzerland, when you had ski slopes in your own country? Along with the thrill of skiing they also wanted to visit the most famous hill station of India, Manali. |

| Skiing |
| Kufri |
|
KUFRI was the original ski-slope developed by the British. It is a popular
activity for those who visit Shimla during the winter snows. Another slope is
the Mahasu Ridge, a little away.
NARKANDA is a beautiful
hill-station 64 km from Shimla. Here, you have all levels of ski slopes -
beginners, advanced, and the slalom run.
SOLANG VALLEY is the most happening
ski slope 14 km from Manali, popular because it allows skiing in summer and
winter. You can do a bit of para-gliding as well, and end up with a picnic
lunch.
ACTIVITIES
Skiing: If you love snow and have a good sense of balance, skiing can be a
thrilling sport. Skiis and other required equipment can be hired from the
various stalls at the ski slopes.
Tobaggoning: This is a fun sport for families and children less challenging than skiing.
Heli-skiing is a new fad and quite
expensive. You are taken to the top of a mountain by helicopter and dropped on
to the slope. From here you ski down at a fantastic speed because of the height
you are descending from. Definitely for the brave hearted! Centres for this
sport are around Chanderkhani
Pass,
Hanuman Tibba and Rohtang Pass. |
