Gulmarg — Complete Travel Guide

Why visit Gulmarg?

Gulmarg — the "Meadow of Flowers" — is Kashmir's premier hill station at 2,650 metres. Famous for Asia's highest Gondola cable car, world-class skiing (December–March), and alpine meadows carpeted with wildflowers in summer. Just 50 km from Srinagar, it is a must on every Kashmir itinerary.

Gulmarg Gondola — Phase 1 & 2

The Gulmarg Gondola is one of the highest cable cars in the world. Phase 1 (Gulmarg to Kongdoori) and Phase 2 (Kongdoori to Apharwat Peak at 4,200 m) offer breathtaking Himalayan views. Book tickets early in peak season. Kashmir Bliss Travels arranges Gondola tickets as an add-on to all Gulmarg packages.

Best time to visit Gulmarg

December–February for snow and skiing; March–April for snow + spring; May–September for green meadows and pleasant weather. Christmas and New Year are peak — book hotels 2–3 months ahead.
