snowfields of Auli. You can still visit the temple built by him at Joshimath.

Mongolian stock, traversed the trails at Auli, locally called Thatauli. Their
longhaired yaks, laden with an assortment of goods, assisted them in conducting
a flourishing trade with neighboring country of Tibet.

for men of valor and courage, the ski-equipped men of the Indo-Tibetan Border
