Gulmarg Ski Resort
Gulmarg, ‘a meadow of flowers’ is a small yet refreshingly enchanting city of immense natural beauty. Surrounded by pine forests and beautifully ensconced within the majestic Pir Panjal range at a height of around 2600 meters, it is a natural gem of the Himalayan region and the snow-capped mountains only add to the magnificence of the view of this idyllic hill station. The city is located near the Indo-Pak border; a picturesque 57 km away from the city of Srinagar in the Bara mullah district of the northern-most state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. It offers a kaleidoscope of colors through the year; from the greens of the spring and the summers, the golden dazzle of autumn to the pristine white of the snow during the winters. En-route as the climb ascends after Tangmarg; the first glimpse of the spectacular view of the entire region is best enjoyed at the View Point. Gulmarg is fast gathering an enviable reputation as the skiing destination in India and coupled with its allure during the rest of the year the magnetism of the place for tourists is unparalleled. Excellent man made facilities have helped Gulmarg develop into a world class tourist delight; it boasts of the only heli-skiing facility in Asia, the world’s highest cable car ride, the Gulmarg Gondola and also the world’s highest 18 hole golf course. Hiking, trekking and a relaxed walk along the circular path offer a great view of the Nanga Parbat and Srinagar. Home to some exotic flora and fauna, Gulmarg continues to enthrall nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
