Priyadarshini, I think India is one of the best places for enjoying the excitement of various winter sports in the world. The sports like mountaineering, heli-skiing, Skiing, Ice Skating, etc. are some of the most exciting winter sports played in India. The regions like Jammu and Kashmir, Shimla, the foothills of Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Darjeeling, etc. in India are world famous for winter sports. Shimla is best known for Ice Skating. An annual winter sports festival is held in Shimla and Ice Skating is definitely one of the most attractive events in the festival. For mountaineering, I think the Indian Himalayas are just the perfect place. The Himalayas yield every kind of challenge and excitement a climber could ask for and they are unparallel in scope for high mountain adventure. India s major mountaineering ranges are located in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal. The states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh offer restricted climbing to the visitors. The most challenging peaks of Himalayas for mountaineering are the Nanda Devi and Kanchenjunga. However, the Garhwal Himalayas, the Zanskar range in Jammu & Kashmir, Kullu & Lahaul in Himachal Pradesh and the eastern Himalayan range of Sikkim & Darjeeling, provide the biggest mountaineering challenges in India. So, you can start planning to go to the places for enjoying a great winter in the next year. All the best...
