Gulmarg – the Meadow of Flowers truly lives up to its name. While in summers the valley is flocked with day-trippers from Srinagar and tourists from across the world, the winter season sees ski and snowboard enthusiasts rushing to Gulmarg – India’s premier ski resort. But the numerous places to visit in Gulmarg are open throughout the year for those who wish to capture the beauty with their cameras or merely their eyes.
Gulmarg is famous for its fields of rice, clusters of walnut, pear and mulberry, and orchards of apples and forests that lead to the snow slopes. The equally popular destination in winter is coated with a blanket of thick, soft snow where you can get the best ski experience. The beginner’s slope makes learning easy, with perfect snow conditions and gentle gradient. Gulmarg is a perfect destination for adventure lovers. Skiing, curling and ski bobbing are some of the activities offered. The cable car journey up to the snow-covered valley is a memorable one.
