Travel guides and seasonal notes from the team at We Are Made Of Stories.

Nearest airport, nearest railway station, and the drive from Delhi, Dehradun, or Rishikesh — everything you need to plan the journey to Auli.
Every season in Auli carries a different mood. Here's what to expect month by month, and which season suits your kind of trip.
One of Asia's longest cable car routes was built to run between Joshimath and Auli — but it isn't currently operating. Here's the real status, and how to reach Auli in the meantime.
Winter is when Auli makes its case most loudly — and when a stay here slows down to match it.
If you're deciding between India's two most talked-about ski destinations, here's an honest, no-agenda comparison.
If you want a serious Himalayan view without a serious trek, Gorson Bugyal is the answer — and it's close enough to do as a half-day outing from your stay.
If Gorson Bugyal whets your appetite for the Himalayas but you want something more substantial, Kuari Pass is the natural next step — and it starts right from the Auli area.
The Valley of Flowers is one of the most famous treks in the Indian Himalayas, and it's close enough to Auli to combine into the same trip — with a little planning.
Auli's accommodation options range from basic homestays to fully-appointed luxury cottages, with glamping-style stays like ours in between. Here's how to think about which one actually fits your trip.
Monsoon (roughly June through September) is Auli's least popular season — and for some travelers, that's exactly the appeal.
Auli's combination of altitude and distance from any real light pollution makes for some of the clearest night skies you'll find in Uttarakhand — and you don't need any special equipment to enjoy it.
Most hospitality is built to remove friction. We built WAMOS to keep a little of it — on purpose.
