According to the plan, Mussoorie festival will have some exclusive
cuisines with clothing items and other attractions and Tehri festival will have
larger dimensions to sell the scenic beauty of lake and the new Tehri Township.
The tourists will also be exposed to geographical beauty of the hills in order
to promote it as international tourist destination.
Tourism department has planned a winter carnival at snow capped Auli,
know for skiing and other adventure sports. There will be second episode of
mountain before the onset of next summer, however it is not confirmed.

“We have finalized the plan for Tehri festival to be held in November.
Mussoorie in December and and Auli carnival for February 2016. These events
will be held mainly to promote the winter tourism in the state” said a tourism

Officials said festivals and carnivals are being organized to curtail
the diversion of tourists who often prefer to visit destinations like Shimla
and Jammu & Kashmir during winters.
