Ice skating is popular in North India in places like Ladakh, Kashmir and Shimla where cold weather occurs and it is possible to skate outdoors. Much of India has a tropical climate, hence in the rest of the country, ice skating is limited to the few artificial rinks available.{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/indias-first-artificial-ice-skating-rink-opens-in-bangalore/1/232177.html |title=India's first artificial ice-skating rink opens in Bangalore : YOUR WEEK - India Today 18062001 |publisher=Indiatoday.intoday.in |date=2001-06-18 |access-date=2016-10-15}} An ice skating festival is organised in Shimla every year.
