Skiing near Bangalore?

score:5

Accepted answer

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.
