The Chandrashila Winter Trek
Since most of the peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas are difficult to scale in winter,
a climb to a mini peak, Chandrashila, in Chamoli district of Uttar Pradesh,
is arranged for trek programs.
This includes scaling, skiing, and trekking, through a landscape teeming with
exotic flora and fauna, lakes and meadows, full of fresh snow. The grassy slopes
covered with snow, make it an ideal ski course
