drive time

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport is the nearest air gateway; Delhi offers a wider choice of international connections but a substantially longer onward journey. Rishikesh, Haridwar and Dehradun are rail and road gateways. Plan a long mountain-road transfer via Joshimath, with flexible timing and an overnight stop if needed.

Auli is roughly 15–20 km by road above Joshimath, depending on your destination. Arrange the final transfer with your accommodation and check local road conditions before setting out. The Joshimath–Auli ropeway was suspended after the 2023 subsidence; do not rely on it for arrival unless the operator explicitly confirms service for your visit.
