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
