I know that most of the skiing in India is up in the Himalayas, but given that Bangalore is quite high to start with (~900m), and there are higher hill stations nearby... Is there anywhere near to Bangalore where it's possible to ski? Or is the only option to take a train/fly all the way up to the north of India?

Bangalore has a higher-than-average elevation over sea level because it's part of a plateau - the Deccan Plateau. This elevation and local weather conditions do not cause snowfall in the region. The highest mountains in the vicinity are part of the Nilgiri mountain range and they don't really get any snow (if my memory of geography class and my travels around Nilgiris serve me right). In fact, with the exception of the Himalayas range, there are hardly any skiing sites in India. |
