SNOW WALKING Call it a hybrid sport. Call it a 'combo pack' of Hiking and Snow Sport. Snow Walks had been there for centuries but more as a compulsion and a way of life for mountain folks who trudged for miles on snow-laden trails for livelihood. In the modern world, Snow Walks have been attracting young adventure seekers and nature lovers from all parts of the world. On one hand Snow Walk is a simple activity of walking on the white snowy mountain slopes and on the other hand it is engulfed with a certain mystique, an unexplainable soothing effect. Snow Walk is one such Snow Sport which can be enjoyed by all ages and is a great family offbeat and adventure holiday activity. In India, try Snow Walking at Auli in Uttaranchal or at Manali in Himachal Pradesh. For those looking for sheer exotica and best of the best, we highly recommend the various Snow Walking circuits close to Whispering Pines Nature Camp, Thangdhar (Dhanaulti; Uttaranchal). Experience the majesty of the mighty Himalayas as you walk up to Surkanda (10,000 ft.) from here or as you walk down past snow covered Rhododendron and Cedar trees. Snow Sports in general and Snow Walk in particular has a lot of scope in India. While Skiing - which is by far the most popular snow sport in India as well as internationally, is more technical in nature and requires dedicated efforts and understanding, Snow Walk on the other hand can be enjoyed by indivual adventure lovers, adventure loving families, an avid trekker / hiker looking for the true Himalayan experience in winters, everyone. Snow Sports and Snow Walks in Himalayas can be a great pick during those Christmas vacations or maybe for that pre-spring holiday.
