Pro Tips
Visit between December and February for skiing and snow activities when Auli turns into a winter sports destination.
Carry warm clothing and sunscreen because high-altitude weather can change quickly.
Carry a sturdy walking stick or trekking pole for the steep descent to Kempty Falls or the climb to Tungnath to prevent knee strain on the uneven stone-paved steps.
Check for "Kumaon" vs "Garhwal" transport hubs; buses for Nainital and Almora leave from Haldwani/Kathgodam, while Mussoorie and Rishikesh are served via Dehradun.
Wear sunglasses against snow reflection UV rays.
Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent altitude-related issues.
