Ski resorts are probably one of the best escapes from the summer heat. While we mostly hear about the famous international ones, India too has its fair share of some interesting and luxurious ski resorts that are perfect for adventure sport lovers. The northern part of the country is home to some very interesting and popular destinations where skiing can be enjoyed.

Let’s have a look at some of the best ski resorts in India:
