The time has come when the snow is flying again in the mountains, the winter season is approaching and those of us who wants to slide upon the frozen slopes are most welcome to experience the frozen valley of India. Take profound turns, scatter snow in alternating directions and glide gracefully from the top to bottom in one swift, soulful run. Places you must not be missing are Manali in Himachal, Garhwal region in Uttar Pradesh and Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir.
Among various options of winter sports Heli Skiing, Mountaineering & Ice Climbing and Snow Skiing are very popular. Ice Skating is just like skiing except that instead of swooshing down from snow covered slopes you just glide along a wide skating arena wearing ice-skates. Whether you want to have a skating partner or whether you want to do it alone, ice-skating is a sport, which needs a much better balancing act than in ordinary skating. The best options to try out ice-skating in India is Shimla, where every year a winter sports festival is held and this sport is one of the major attractions of it.
