Gulmarg is Kashmir's adventure capital — equal parts alpine meadow in summer and world-class ski resort in winter. Here's how to make the most of it.
1. Ride the Gulmarg Gondola
One of the highest cable cars in the world, the Gondola climbs in two phases — to Kongdoori and then up to Apharwat Peak at nearly 4,000m. The views over the Pir Panjal are unforgettable.
2. Ski or Snowboard the Powder
From December to March, Gulmarg's backcountry powder draws skiers from across the globe. Beginners can take lessons on the lower slopes; experts head for Apharwat's bowls.
3. Walk the Meadows of Khilanmarg
A short pony ride or trek from Gulmarg brings you to Khilanmarg, a flower-carpeted meadow with panoramic valley views — stunning in late spring and summer.
4. Play the World's Highest Golf Course
Gulmarg's 18-hole course is the highest green golf course on earth. Even non-golfers enjoy a stroll across its manicured fairways.
5–10. Pony rides, the Maharani Temple, St. Mary's Church, snow tubing, photography at Strawberry Valley, and simply soaking in the mountain air round out an unforgettable trip. We'll build the right mix into your itinerary.
