۞ Skiing
What is Skiing
- Don't stay happy making snowballs and lobbing them at
unsuspecting folks when you holiday in snow-covered spots. Be
adventurous. Put on a pair of skies and race across the snow,
delighting in the sense of freedom the sport offers you. Take the
necessary lessons from your instructor and get ready for some
action. Recreational skiing is all about going down snow-covered
slopes for the sheer joy of it. Competitive skiing, with Nordic,
Alpine, Free style races and other events, calls for special skills
and specialized equipment.
Narkanda has many slopes which provide excellent
opportunities for cross-country and snow-hill skiing events. All
that is required to pursue skiing as a recreational sport is good
health. We offer international standard equipment and facilities. We

gradual ascent through the dense woods of pine, spruce deodars
rhododendron and chestnut trees. The lush green meadow adds a luster
to the place.

nomadic shepherd with thousand sheep are bright, relinquished and
