Cliff Top Auli
★ ★ ★ ★
Auli Skiing Village Distt. Chamoli, Auli 246443 India
The resort is located in a green belt, a protected area just outside the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, declared a World Heritage Site by the UN. Stringent environmental and wildlife laws limit the usage of resources and development of infrastructure. Working within these limitations, we have provided the best of comforts and facilities ever possible for a high altitude resort complete with silent generators for partial power back up.
It may take some time for the storage geysers to yield enough hot water after they have been used once, hence you are advised to wait a few minutes for the required amount to hot water, considering the height at which we are situated.
Medical facilities can be availed at the army set up in Auli or Joshimath. Mobile networks do not function, except BSNL in some pockets of the resort.

Nanda Devi & Gorson Reserve Forest
Nanda Devi & Gorson Reserve Forest
Clifftop Club provides an uninterrupted 270 degree view of Nanda Devi and adjoining ranges. A short trek takes you to Gorson Reserve Forest where you can revel in the magnificent sunrise and views and experience walks in dense alpine forest terrain. The exciting ride in a cable car from Joshimath to Tower number 8 is the highlight of your arrival at the resort. Magnificent views of snow-clad peaks and vast open expanses of snow or grass slopes add to the thrill. Adventure seekers can also avail the open chair lift ride from the government run GMVN property to tower number 8 or 10.
Gorson Reserve Forest is located off Tower number 10, which can also be accessed by a short trek up the slopes. Magnificent views of sunrise can be enjoyed here. A short walk in the dense alpine forest takes you to Chhatrakund, a frozen lake.
TAPOVAN & BADRINATH
TAPOVAN & BADRINATH
You can soothe your tired muscles after a trek to Tapovan by bathing in the hot springs there.
A day trip to the holy shrine of Badrinath can be made possible if one rises early to avail the first gate of departure at Joshimath. The road from Joshimath to Badrinath is a one-way drive, being narrow, steep and treacherous. A convenient “gate system” regulates up and down traffic to and from Badrinath. Many elite pilgrims to Badrinath prefer to stay at Clifftop Club, Auli and make a day trip to the temple by car only to return to Clifftop Club to soak in the ambience of the bonfire nights overlooked by Nanda Devi and adjoining peaks.
July to September sees trekkers to the Valley of Flowers making stopovers at Clifftop Club to experience the luxury of lavish cuisine and luxurious accommodation with our pampering to end the trek on a high note.
