This entire area has good quality snow and gentle slopes, perfect for beginner skiers. The area is safe, less touristy, easily accessible and offers stunning views of the Himalaya. After settling down in your igloo, we will give you your first ski lesson. We will teach you the basics of skiing and balancing and techniques that will help you take turns and control your speed better. All our lessons are imparted by professional ski instructors/guides. During lunchtime one can enjoy the fantastic panoramic view of the mountain ranges around and in the evening we have dinner under the stars, with nice warm log fire lighting up our igloo campsite.
