I live in Delhi which is a place of extremes, nothing short of extreme would happen in Delhi or catch a Delhiites’ attention. We have extreme summer, extreme rains, extreme humidity and even extreme winter (p.s. We’ve a Bollywood dance number on it ‘Dilli Ki Sardi’). However, in the lands of extremities, we’re deprived of one beautiful element of winter and that is SNOW.
Who hates it? Because I know that I do. Every year, we witness a record-breaking winter, however, we have never been graced with snow and it makes me so angry. But then, there are some other places around our capital and in our country which get to behold the beautiful snowflakes and snow. All of you, who suffer from the same frustration, can witness the beauty of snow at one of these places, that’ve snow-capped mountains and are covered in a blanket of snow.
These places are considered a hill-station and have aptly justified the answer for all the hill’s person. So, the next time someone asks you about why you’re a hills’ person, just show them the magnificent images of these places.

Auli is still one of the lesser known places in Uttrakhand, however, quite popular among the trekkers.
