21 Places to visit in Gulmarg & Srinagar

Gulmarg and Srinagar are picturesque hill stations in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Located on the highest tip of the country, these two places are extraordinarily beautiful. Located in the bank of the Jhelum River, Srinagar is almost like Paradise on Earth with Himalayas bordering the valley and is popularly known for its Houseboats that add to the beauty.

By Air –Srinagar Airport is the closest airport to the city and has regular lights from Leh, Chandigarh, Mumbai and the capital Delhi.

By Train – Srinagar is the closest railhead to the city and is a station among the 119 km long  Banihal-Baramulla route.

Gulmarg – A COMPLETE Travel Guide and Itinerary

If one is to make a list of the most visited hill stations of our country, then I am sure the name Gulmarg will be among the top ones. Quite rightly termed as the meadow of flowers, it is indeed a heavenly place to tread in that offers mesmerizing landscapes and an enthralling possibility of various adventure activities.

Such is the beauty of this tiny hamlet that it attracts people from all over the country throughout the year. It is possibly one of those destinations where the tourist season never ends. From families to adventure enthusiasts, Gulmarg has a lot to offer.

In the post below, I will provide complete details on how to plan a trip to Gulmarg. The information below covers topics like how to reach, where to stay, public transport, places to visit, things to do, the best time to visit, and several other helpful tips.

For all other details on Kashmir like mobile connectivity, public transport, taxi services, and several other tips, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir – A Complete Travel Guide .

To get the best hotel rates, and taxi charges, and to organize your trip to Kashmir, you can speak with Kunal @ 9910 402 252. Give him my reference and you will surely get a discounted rate.

Below is a video that I shot in Gulmarg during my recent winter trip. You can also consider checking out this video for more details.

Where is Gulmarg?

For a brief introduction, Gulmarg is a hill station located in Kashmir, in the Pir Panjal Range of the western Himalayas, at an altitude of 2,650 meters (8,690 ft).

The name Gulmarg, literally translating into “meadow of flowers” was awarded by Sultan Yusuf Shah Chak who frequented the place with his wife Habba Khatoon in the 16th century.

Gulmarg was also a favorite of Mughal Emperor Jahangir who is said to have collected as many as 21 wildflowers for his garden from here.

Also Read: The Life & Legend of Habba Khatoon

During the English rule, Gulmarg served as a retreat for British civil servants looking to escape the scorching summer heat of plains in North India, much like Shimla and Mussoorie.

Golf was one of the favorite pastime activities that the English indulged in out here. They established three golf courses in Gulmarg, one exclusively for women. Of the three, one still survives and is now one of the world’s highest golf courses.

The first question that comes to mind, and I will begin the article with it, is why visit Gulmarg? What is it that you will find here and nowhere else? After all, it is also just another hill station like numerous others in our country.

The answer to the question is that Gulmarg has a little bit to offer for everyone in every season. Its lush green meadows make it look more like a picnic spot, perfect to bring your family and kids.

The cable car ride known as Gulmarg Gondola is the second-highest Gondola in the world and is an experience of its own. Trekking to Apharwat Peak and Alpather Lake is something that the adventurous kind can look forward to.

Come winter, the entire place gets buried deep under snow, making it a feast for the eyes. It is a great place for people chasing snow and wanting to experience a live snowfall for the first time. It is also one of the most famous ski resorts in India.

Road connectivity to Gulmarg is great and from Srinagar, you can get here in a matter of 2 to 3 hours at most. There are no long hours of driving involved. There are ample amount of hotels here and your cell phones will remain connected. Internet too is available at almost all the hotels.

If you are a bit on the religious side then the shrine of Baba Reshi, Maharani Temple, and St. Mary’s church of Gulmarg will definitely invoke your interest.

There are plenty of other places nearby that you can visit in a day’s drive if you have a few more days in hand. In short, Gulmarg is a perfect place for a family vacation as well as a road trip with a bunch of friends.

Is Gulmarg Safe?

Next, I will address the elephant in the room, the big question of whether or not it is safe to visit Gulmarg. The one-line answer is that yes it is completely safe to visit Gulmarg. It remains populated with tourists throughout the year from all corners of India.

It rarely gets affected by the unrest in the Kashmir region. But still, I will strongly advise keeping a watch on the news. If there was a word of any possible violence or unrest in Kashmir, it would be best to postpone your trip.

How to Reach Gulmarg?

In order to get to Gulmarg, you will first have to reach Srinagar. For people coming by their own vehicle, you can just drive to Srinagar city by either the regular Jammu-Srinagar highway or the Mughal road through Shopian.

Once you arrive in Srinagar, you can then just continue driving towards Gulmarg via Tangmarg. It will just be a 2 to 3 hours drive covering a distance of about 50-60 kilometers.

If you were however not traveling by your own vehicle, then Srinagar is well connected to the rest of the country by Air, Train, and Bus service.

No matter which part of the country you live in, you can easily reach the city by either flying or boarding a train. For more details, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Srinagar .

How to Reach Gulmarg from Srinagar?

If you were driving a car or riding a bike, then the route to reach Gulmarg would be as below.

Srinagar – Magam – Tangmarg – Gulmarg = 60 Kilometers

From Srinagar to Tangmarg, it is mostly a straight drive on a flat road with very little ascent. You will not even feel like driving in a hill station actually.

It is after Tangmarg that the actual steep ascent starts and you climb up a winding road till Gulmarg. Another good part is that the road is smooth and in good condition for the entire 60 kilometers of the journey. If you arrive at Srinagar by either flight or train, then you can choose either of the following options to visit Gulmarg.

Srinagar to Gulmarg Taxi

The best, easiest, and most convenient way would be to rent a private taxi for the trip. Depending on the type of cab you choose, the taxi fare from Srinagar to Gulmarg would come out to be between Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3000 including fuel and driver.

You can either look for a taxi at the airport itself or book one in advance and have the driver pick you up from the airport or railway station.

Srinagar to Gulmarg Shared Taxi

For budget travelers, I would still recommend a private taxi if you are traveling in a group and can share the cost among 5 to 6 people. If you were however traveling solo then you can look for a shared cab as well.

The problem however is that it is not the most convenient way to travel. You will first have to reach Dal Gate in Srinagar and look for a shared cab to Parimpora or Batmaloo.

If you found one that was going directly to Tangmarg, you can board that. Otherwise, find one for Parimpora or Batmaloo.

From Parimpora / Batmaloo, you will again have to change cabs and look for a cab going to Tangmarg. Once you arrive at Tangmarg, you will board the third cab going towards Gulmarg.

An important thing to keep in mind is that the shared cabs here are known as ‘service gaadi’. If you asked anyone about shared cabs, they may just shrug their shoulders and say that they don’t know. If that happens, ask about service gaadi and they will know what you mean.

Another option is to look for a cab to first go to Magam from Srinagar. From Magam, you will easily find a shared cab for Tangmarg.

Srinagar to Gulmarg Shared Taxi Fare

The total fare for a shared cab from Srinagar to Gulmarg will be around Rs. 250 per person. From Srinagar to Tangmarg, you will pay about Rs. 100 and another Rs. 50 to Rs. 70 per person for Gulmarg.

How to reach Gulmarg from Srinagar by bus

There is no direct bus from Srinagar all the way to Gulmarg. It is actually a bit surprising considering the kind of major tourist spot that Gulmarg is.

Like shared cabs, your journey will have to be broken into three parts by bus as well. First, you will have to board a bus for either Parimpora or Batmaloo from Srinagar.

Then you will have to board a bus for Tangmarg, and then finally a bus from Tangmarg to Gulmarg.

During the summer season, there is a JKSRTC daily sightseeing Bus available in the morning from the Tourist Reception Center. It takes tourists to Gulmarg on a day trip, returning by evening.

My advice however would be to not rely on this service. It is only available in the summer season and that too not always. There is a high chance that this service was unavailable at the time of your trip.

Srinagar to Gulmarg Bus Fare

Srinagar to Gulmarg bus fare in total would cost you about Rs. 200 per person; including the bus fare and shared cab charges from Tangmarg.

How to reach Gulmarg in Winter

Now all of the above was about reaching Gulmarg in the Summer season. In winter, however, it is an entirely different story. All of Gulmarg gets buried under several feet of snow and so does the road leading here.

It then becomes impossible for a normal car to climb up the final stretch from Tangmarg to Gulmarg. During this time, only 4×4 vehicles ply on this route, and that too with snow chains.

In winter, my advice would be that you do not bring your own vehicle. You can then just catch a cab from Srinagar to Tangmarg first and then another 4×4 cab from Tangmarg to Gulmarg.

If you bring your own car or motorcycle, it will then become a problem about where to leave it parked because you may not be able to get it all the way to Gulmarg.

A 4×4 cab with snow chains from Tangmarg will cost Rs. 1500 for a drop and Rs. 2000 for a return journey. For more details on this topic, please take a look at How to Plan a Trip to Gulmarg in Winter .

How to reach Gulmarg by Flight

Srinagar Airport is the nearest airport to Gulmarg. It is located about 60 kilometers from Gulmarg and the journey can be completed in 2 to 3 hours.

The major airlines operating regular flights to Srinagar are Air India, Jet Airways, Spice Jet, Air Asia, and IndiGo. From Srinagar, you will have to travel to Gulmarg by road.

Also Read: How to Plan Your Journey on Mughal Road?

How to reach Gulmarg by Train

Srinagar railway station is the nearest railway line to Gulmarg. The problem however is that it is not yet fully operational and will take at least another 18 months to 2 years for full connectivity.

Right now, you can reach Udhampur by train. From Udhampur, you will then have to board a bus or taxi for Ramban. After reaching Ramban, you will then board another train from Ramban to Srinagar.

An easier way thus would be to just board a bus or shared taxi directly from Udhampur to Srinagar.

Weather of Gulmarg

Due to its elevation of 2,690 meters, the weather of Gulmarg remains either cold or pleasant. Summer out here is short and even in months like June and July, you will still need a blanket to sleep in for the night.

Summers in Gulmarg are usually enjoyable. The average temperature however ranges between 13℃ and 29℃ making it an ideal retreat to escape the heat of the plains.

Monsoon arrives here in July turning the meadows and valleys of Gulmarg to full lush green. It doesn’t rain too heavily here though and the average rainfall is very moderate.

Cold starts to settle in towards mid-September and temperature drops drastically. After mid-December, it can snow here anytime but it is usually towards mid-January that the snow starts to stick to the ground.

For most of January and February, the entire town remains buried deep under snow and turns into one of the most famous ski resorts in our country. The average temperature in these months ranges from -5 to 10 Degrees Celsius.

For a more detailed version of this information, please read A Month by Month Breakdown of Weather .

Best Time to Visit Gulmarg

I have actually covered this topic in detail in another article When is the Best time to Visit Gulmarg. But for a brief overview, the best time to visit Gulmarg will really depend on what is it that you are looking for.

Everyone’s reason for coming here is not always the same. Some people come here looking for snow and to catch their first snowfall. A lot of others come seeking refuge from the scorching summer.

A Photography enthusiast will be looking forward to getting some great shots. An adventure junkie will be focused on indulging in some snow sports.

If snow is what you seek then February will be the best time to visit. Spring season starts in late March and the months of April and May are great to bring your family around. Do note though that it tends to get a bit crowded here during this time.

If you are interested in photography then February, August, and September will be best. For someone looking for green valleys all around, July, August, and early September will do.

If you are looking for some solitude and want to get away from the crowd, then August will suit you the best. You must then avoid being here between April and June.

If you want to go skiing, the trip should be planned for January and February. April and September are the best time to plan a honeymoon. For a bike trip, you should avoid the monsoon season.

Clothes for Gulmarg

What clothes you should pack for Gulmarg too will depend on what time you are visiting here. For January and February, heavy woolens, gloves, woolen socks, mufflers, thermals, and a good quality heavy and windproof jacket is a must.

If you are visiting in March, some light woolens with a heavy jacket will do. From April till August, pack plenty of cotton clothes and a light jacket.

The months of September and October will much be like March needing some light woolens and a heavy jacket.

Your Gulmarg Clothing for November and December will be the same as for January and February; consisting of thermals, heavy woolens, and a windproof warm jacket.

Places to Visit in Gulmarg

Gulmarg in itself is actually a tourist place. This small town tucked in beautiful green meadows is a sight in itself and everything here is worth seeing. The natural beauty and the calm all around are the biggest tourist attractions of Gulmarg.

With that being said, there are a few places that can be called cherry on top. I will those down below.

I am only providing the names of these places below in this article. A detailed explanation of these places is provided in A complete list of Tourist Attractions . I kept it on a separate article because otherwise, this page would have gone too long and heavy.

What to see in Gulmarg

The natural beauty and tranquility of Gulmarg are its prime attractions. Beautiful lush green meadows all around and peaceful calm only broken by the occasional whining of horses is what you should be visiting here for.

Some other tourist attractions are mentioned below.

• Drung Waterfall
• Gulmarg Gondola
• Alpather Lake
• Apharwat Peak
• Maharani Temple
• Gulmarg Golf Course
• St. Mary’s Church
• Maharaja Palace
• Children’s Park
• Strawberry Valley
• Ningle Nallah & Ferozpur Nallah
• Bota Pathri

This is just a list of all the places. If you want to know more about these spots and their locations, please read A Complete List of Tourist Attractions .

What to do in Gulmarg

Below is a list of tourist activities that you can enjoy in Gulmarg.

• Gondola Ride
• Playing Golf
• Winter Sports in Gulmarg
• Winter Festival’

Apart from enjoying the natural beauty of the place and spending some time in peace, there are three major activities that you can indulge yourself in at Gulmarg.

The first one is the Gondola ride which is the biggest attraction of Gulmarg. The second is trekking.  A trek to Alpather Lake from Gondola Phase 2 station is the shortest one.

If you are in for more adventure and are physically fit, then you can trek to the lake all the way from Gulmarg itself. There are in fact several other trek routes from Gulmarg if you have the time.

For more details on Gulmarg Gondola and Alpather Lake, please read How to Plan a Gondola Ride and How to Trek to Alpather Lake .

If you arrived here in winter though, then skiing is what you should be doing in Gulmarg. Options here are available for experts as well as someone completely new.

Where to stay in Gulmarg

Gulmarg is one of the major tourist attractions of our country. Come winter, this town turns into a major ski resort. In spring and during summer vacation in schools, families flock here to enjoy the famous gondola ride.

Tourists continue to arrive post-monsoon to enjoy the greenery of the place. It is in short a year-round magnet for tourists. Due to this, hotels are available here in plenty.

In fact, you will see more hotels here than houses. There is one called Hotel Affarwat that I can tell you is good. I stayed at this hotel for a couple of days and the service was good.

There is another one called Pine View Resort that I know to be good from a friend. If you are looking for budgeted accommodation, try Hotel Green Park.

Finding a budget hotel is not really an option in Gulmarg. Overall, no hotel will charge you less than Rs. 2000 – Rs. 2500 for a room during the off-season. During the peak tourist season, these prices go even higher.

You can try calling Hotel Green Park and negotiating the price though. I was able to stay here for Rs. 1200 a day.

Other than this, the only other budget hotel that I know of is Hotel Pine View where you can get a hotel for Rs. 1200 per day but it is located at Tangmarg, about 14 kilometers away from Gulmarg.

Whether or not to book in advance is completely your choice. In the off-season, you don’t have to book. Just arrive at the place, find a hotel per your liking, and negotiate an on-the-spot deal.

In peak tourist season, however, in the months of January and February, April till June, and then in October, I will recommend that you book your stay.

Gulmarg Sightseeing Itinerary

A minimum of 2 days is what I will recommend for sightseeing and enjoying other activities. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to travel from Srinagar to Gulmarg.

Gulmarg 2 Nights Itinerary

If you were planning to stay in Gulmarg for 2 nights, your itinerary can be prepared in the following manner.

• On Day 1, start early from Srinagar and arrive at Gulmarg at about 9 to 10 AM.
• Check into a hotel and spend some time visiting local places like Maharani temple, St. Mary’s church, Golf Course, Maharaja Palace, etc.
• On Day 2, take a Gondola ride to the top of Apharwat Peak. Trek to Alpather Lake there and arrive back at Gulmarg. This will take an entire day.
• If you do not want to go trekking, you can skip Alpather Lake and go on a drive to Bota Pathri and Strawberry Valley instead.
• On Day 3, you can travel back to Srinagar.

One Day Trip to Gulmarg from Srinagar

If you were planning to spend just one night, below can be your itinerary for the Srinagar to Gulmarg one-day trip.

• On Day 2, take a Gondola ride to the top of Apharwat Peak.
• Return by noon, have lunch, check out of the hotel, and reach back to Srinagar by evening.

Srinagar to Gulmarg Day Trip

If you were however short on time, you can cover in a single day as well. Start early from Srinagar and reach Gulmarg by 9 or 10 am. Walk around the golf course and see places like Maharani Temple and St. Mary’s church.

You can actually also go for the Gondola ride if there isn’t a lot of rush. All this can easily be completed in one day and you can get back to your hotel in Srinagar by late evening.

Bank / ATM in Gulmarg

J&K Bank and Baramulla Cooperative Bank have branches in Gulmarg and provide ATM services as well. Gulmarg is a famous tourist town so banks here remain open and ATMs are functional always.

Medical Assistance

There is a small hospital in Gulmarg and you can also buy medicines from the local chemist shop. But for anything serious, the patient would have to be brought back to Srinagar.

Mobile Network in Gulmarg

Prepaid phones do not work anywhere in the state of J&K, including Gulmarg. If you have a prepaid connection, however, your phone will be as good as a paperweight.

But as long as you have a postpaid connection, no matter which network you are on, your phone will be working fine here. Data connectivity too will be good. Most of the hotels here have free Wi-Fi available with good data speed.

For more details on this topic, please take a look at Mobile Network in Kashmir & Data Connectivity .

Shopping in Gulmarg is all about buying Kashmiri handicrafts, decorative linens, brass, silverware, pashmina shawls, carpets, carved furniture, stone jewelry, freshly plucked tea leaves, and dry fruit.

For all of this, however, I will strongly recommend that you buy from Srinagar. There are no big shopping markets in Gulmarg and your choice of items will be a bit limited and so will your ability to negotiate.

What to Eat

Not just Gulmarg but the moment you set foot anywhere in Kashmir, you should eat only Kashmiri dishes. Below is a list of some foods that you can try.

Non Vegetarian Dishes

• Mutton Roghan Josh
• Gushtaba (soft meatballs cooked in natural yogurt, white curry)
• Rishta (Soft meatballs in delicious Gravy, Red Curry)
• Tabak Maaz (Deep-fried ribs of lamb)
• Kanti(small chunks of meat cooked with a lot of onions)
• Seekh-Tuji – Marinated and freshly barbecued meat pieces eaten with chutney
• Grilled Mutton called Tilli or Tekh
• Marzunga Korma
• Shami Kabab

Vegetarian Dishes

• Veg Dum Aaloo
• Tamatar Zaman (Paneer)
• Nundur Yakhin (Lotus Stem prepared in Yogurt)
• Haak (Kashmiri Saag)

One thing you have to remember is that Kashmiri people are not too high on Roti / Chapati. Rice is what usually gets served here and hence the gravy of all these items is not thick.

Where to Eat

There are plenty of restaurants in Gulmarg that you can eat at. Just walk up to the main market and you will find shops all around.  You can also order at your hotel but I found going to the market and eating there a better choice.

Gulmarg in general is an expensive place. Finding a hotel here for anywhere under Rs. 2000 per day is going to be a task impossible.

Even the food here is expensive. You will be paying Rs. 20 for one single small Tawa roti at a very OK type restaurant. Veg, Non-Veg, Rice everything here is expensive so keep that in mind while you plan a trip.

Guides and Pony owners are a huge nuisance in Gulmarg. You cannot walk here 100 meters without someone offering you either a pony ride or to be your guide.

Guides have absolutely nothing to offer. There is no place here that you cannot visit without a guide. They will charge you only for walking with you and nothing else. You will be just wasting money if you hire one.

Pony owners are another nuisance. There is horse dung everywhere in the meadows courtesy of these guys so watch where you step.

Gulmarg Altitude

Gulmarg is located at an altitude of 2,650 meters, 8,694 ft.

You can get some small fixes done and punctures repaired in Gulmarg but for any major fixes, you will have to tow your vehicle back to Tangmarg and then toward Srinagar.

Petrol Pump

There is no petrol pump in Gulmarg but there are several as you drive 60 kilometers from Srinagar to Gulmarg. The one closest is at Tangmarg. Just get a tank-full done at Srinagar and it will easily last the entire trip.

Road Condition

The entire stretch of road from Srinagar to Gulmarg is a smooth drive. It is a double-lane road but traffic flows smoothly. The road from Srinagar to Tangmarg is a mix of average and good but from Tangmarg to Gulmarg, it remains in excellent condition.

Below are some frequently asked questions about Gulmarg. If the information you were looking for wasn’t covered in this post, you may ask in the comments section below.

It is a good plan if you want a relaxed trip and do not want to move around too much. Snowfall entirely depends on the weather but yes, you may experience a light spell of snow if luck favored

Hi, Amazing blogs vargis. Keep it up. I have one query , I have friends car in Srinagar, it’s personnel car. If I take that to pahalgam and Gulmarg then still I need to hire local taxi for going to Auri, betab valley or I can drive by my Kashmir registered car.

Hi Hitender – No you do not. The problem is only with Srinagar taxis, not private vehicles

Hello Vargis – Planning a trip for 6 nights around May end. We are a family of 6 adults and two small kids (under 5 and 2 years). I was planning to do 2 night in Srinagar, 2 night in Gulmarg and 1 each in Pahalgam and Sonamarg. Will it be little too much? If I have to drop one of Sonamarg or Pahalgam which one would you suggest?

Hi Raunak – You can do away with just one night in Gulmarg, do not need 2. If you must drop one place, I will suggest dropping Pahalgam.

Thanks Vargis. So if I spend two nights in Srinagar, and one night in Gulmarg, should I do two nights in Sonmarg then? What would be a recommended itinerary for 6 nights? Reaching Srinagar airport in the evening on Day 1.

You can travel like this

1. Srinagar 2. Srinagar to Gulmarg 3. Sightseeing in Gulmarg and return to Srinagar 4. Day trip to Sonamarg 5. Day trip to Pahalgam 6. Srinagar local sightseeing

Hello bro, Your travel experience and narrating of all places that you have visited was amazing, i have planned a trip from nov 20 to 23 in gulmarg and pahalgam.. Is it possible get a taxi on arrival Srinagar to Gulmarg straight away? Other doubt is can we book a hotel on arrival?? It would be costlier than bre booking? Can we get guide all necessary details from hotel means how to travel? Where to travel without guide?

Hello Sir, Very informative indeed. I am planning to visit Kashmir with my family. My itinerary would be Pahalgam (2 Nights), Gulmarg (1 nights), Sonamarg (1 Nights), and Srinagar (2 night). Kindly guide me if car rental for 7 days would be best or should I book car for per destination basis. Because, for local sightseeing, local taxi needs to be booked.

Hello Abhishek – It would be best to book the same car for the entire trip. It will cost you less that way and will also be more convenient.

Hello Am planning Kashmir trip in April2023, 2Npahalgam,1N gulmarg nd 3nsrinagar. Can you please share the trusty can contact no. Also do you suggest to travel from pahalgam to gulmarg as we are goin to pahalgam frst on arrival of srinagar

Gulmarg to Pahalgam is doable but you will first have to discuss it with the driver and get him to agree to it. You can try talking to Kunal @ 9910402252 and see if he can get you a good dead

Hello Sir, really you are amazing and giving valuable information… I am planning for Kashmir trip in the month of October from 06/10/2022 to 13/10/2022 Sir Can you please suggest which route will be better like Directly from Srinagar to Gulmarg (Gulmarg stay 2 nights), Sonamarg (2 Nights), Pahalgam (2 Nights) and Srinagar (1 night) or First visit pahalgam??

Which route you recommend??

Thank you Kinteksh. It does not really matter to be honest. It is your personal preference. If it was up to me though, I will go to Pahalgam first.

Hello Vargis Sahab! Is it possible to make a Gulmarg trip like this? Day 1 = Srinagar to Gulmarg via Doodhpathri ; Day 2 = Gulmarg Gondola ride and Alpather lake trek , Gulmarg-Bota Pathri–Gulmarg ; Day 3 = Gulmarg to Srinagar via Yusmarg ?

Hello Soumit Bhai – How are you traveling? If by private taxi then yes, it can be done.

Hello Vargis Sahab! Is it possible to make a Gulmarg trip like this? Day 1 = Srinagar to Gulmarg via Doodhpatri ; Day 2 = Gulmarg Gondola ride and Alpathar lake trek , Gulmarg-Bota Pathri – Gulmarg ; Day 4 = Gulmarg to Srinagar via Yusmarg ?

Gondola ride Phase 2 – will it be difficult for my 3 year old or parents in terms of breathing or any other side effects? Is it walking distance from gulmarg car parking to gondola ride? Thanks

It will not be difficult but if there was any problem, you can immediately get on the Gondola and descend. And yes, it is a walking distance.

Hi Vargis bhai,

Your blog has been a life saver… Excellent information from all aspects, minute details in layman’s language! Have read only few but tat itself got me on my toes.. I just wanna reach Kashmir n explore.. In shaa Allah (before I reach, I am sure.. I have read all of them)

We are planning a trip coming February 2023. So far booked itinary as per JKDTC availability. Day 1 – Srinagar (booked) Day 2 – Sonamarg (booked) Day 3 – Thinking whether to go directly to Gulmarg. Day 4 – Return back to (Srinagar deserves 1more day atleast) or go directly to Pahalgam. (1night stay) Day 5 or 6 – Visit places in (Banihal, Udhampur & Jammu) Back to from Jammu Tawi by … What is your take on my itinary. Very tight schedule becoz of sudden planning and tight schedule with budget trip (Wonder where that wud end up though.. )

Allah aapko duniya aur aakhirat mein bada makaam de for being virtual guide for najaane kitne log.. Aaamen!!

Bahut bahut shukriya Bhai. God bless you and your family.

How will you be traveling? By private taxi I suppose otherwise the trip will be very difficult?

This is so informative Vargis! It is exactly what I was looking for. A question however, do you suggest hiring a cab for all my 4 nights of stay(2 in Gulmarg and 2 in Pahalgam). Or I should just take a drop in Gulmarg and then one from Gulmarg to Pahalgam and then to airport?

Thank you Varnika. Hiring one cab for the entire trip will be cost-efficient otherwise you will end up paying more.

Great informative article covering all travel aspects. Thanks Vargis Khan. We are planning a trip to Gulmarg end March. Will it be no green with melted snow and bare view or there will be some greenery. Thanks

Thanks, Indrani. The end of March is a good time. Melting snow will leave behind plenty of greenery and good views

Hi Indrani, We are a couple and also planning in March end, 26th to 30th. If our days clash, we can hire a cab together.

Assalamu alaikum Vargis Bhai Thanks a lot for sharing all the information, i want to ask you a question that i am planning a trip to kashmir at the end of May month with my wife. So, to explore Gulmarg from srinagar on a bike will be a good choice or bad. Please reply

hi can we see any snow in gulmarg in the month of april

मै अपने परिवार के साथ 13 मार्च को गुलमर्ग आ रहा हूं क्या गुलमर्ग में 13मार्च तक बर्फ देखी जा सकती है

Hi Vargis, Can you please help me out. I have a constraint to stay in stay/hotel which can provide reliable internet as I have to do work remotely. Can you please recommend stays in Srinagar and Gulmarg for the same. I am looking for decent stays (but not the expensive end)

Hello Vargis,

The weather is cold and yes, it has snowed already in Gulmarg.

Thank you for the details. Very detaliled travel guide.

Thank you for a great article on visiting Gulmarg. Everything is explained so very well.

Is Gondola operational on all days ? Can we go till 2nd phase in mid Jan or early Feb ?

Hello, is the below a good itinerary for kashmir in feb Gulmarg 3nights Pahalgam 2 nights Srinagar 1 night

3 nights in Gulmarg is a bit much, to be honest. 2 nights should do.

Hello Mr. Khan,

Thanku soo much for such a nice information. I have one question, I am planning to visit in December 2nd half 2020, is there will be snowfall and ski activities in the valley.And also is there any covid restrictions .

Thanks and Regards, Priyanka

Hello Ms. Yadav – It depends on the weather really but it starts to snow in Gulmarg in December.

Hello mr khan I want to know that it is possible to travel with own vehicle till sringar . I mean snow on the road , vehicle slip and most important it is safe in 3rd jan2020 to 6jan 2020 Plz suggest

Dear Vargis, Thanks for this great arrival. I just want to know that can I visit Srinagar and Gulmarg in my own car? Is there any restriction? I heard that own vehicles are not allowed in Gulmarg for sight seeing. Is that true? Please answer. Thanks and regards.

Hello Suman – Tourists are allowed in both Srinagar and Gulmarg currently but you will have to carry your COVID test result. You can travel by your own car as well.

Sir, I have booked flight tickets for Kashmir long ago. My plan was to visit Kashmir on and from 17th October, 2020 to 24th October, 2020.Will it be possible to visit in this pandemic situation? Will it be safe there?

No lone can tell that right now Sharmistha. It all depends on how the situation will unfold in October.

We are planning to visit for New Year’s Eve. We have been to Srinagar in winter a few times, but never to Gulmarg. How are things there now? I have been told that hotels have started reopening. Any suggestions from you, considering the pandemic?

Varis…. a great description of a great place in such simple words…. commendable job I have a question that whether it would be suitable and safe to travel in own car in the month of February(After 20th feb) up to Gulmarg.

Mr.Khan your article will definitely help whoever’s planning on a trip to this place. I haven’t come across a detailed tour guide like this. Keep writing about the places you explore! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Can we see snow in Gulmarg by Dec last week? Please sugggest. Is it safe to travel Gulmarg by end of Dec with 2.5 year old kid?

It is OK to go but snow depends entirely on the weather. Hard to predict right now.

Great Artice !! We are planing to visiting Gulamrg in upcoming March from 6th to 10th March. Should we keep woolen clothes or summer clothes. Also will we get a chance to see snow ?

Pack all your woolen clothes please and yes, you will find snow.

Is there any pre-paid taxi counter on the airport? We are a couple and want to avoid any hassles, So we prefer booking the cab from airport right upto Khyber

Yes, there is a taxi counter right outside.

Dear Mr. Vargas, An excellent trAveley article loaded with info. Considering Covid situation can you please elaborate on restrictions and other mandatory documentation to carry for visiting Kashmir now.

I visited Srinagar and gulmarg last week .tbh I love the place but not the people,when it comes to dealing with tourists never seen such irritating and cheating people.for example you have explained the nuisance of the guides there in gulmarg it’s 100 percent true .this time me and my friend were only tourists in whole Kashmir (at least we felt,mainly due to internet shutdown)by the time we got down at gulmarg from taxi a dozen of people started irritating and following all the time

wow… things are well described…this blog contains a lot of information. nice way of working anyway….

Thanks Shameem

Dear you are such a nice person, and you had a great knowledge about kashmir,and you had shared your experience for the convenience of the tourist, great job but correct one thing in your post that Train service for Srinagar is from Banihal not from Ramban, so plz make correction dear

Thank you for adding the details Vinod Bhai. I will make the required corrections.

Hi, will Gulmarg snow from December 3rd-10th this year? Since it’s in Kashmir are terrorist attacks on international (yet indian-origin) tourists possible?

I am planning Gulmarg on 1st week Sept 2019. Can I see any snow on phase 2?

Dear Mr Khan One of the best articles even seen with honest views by the writer.

We intend to plan a visit on last week of June, 2019. How will be the weather? is it advisable to come in June? What are the activities for kids? What is strawberry valley..

Thank you Mr. Jain. June is a good time to go with pleasant weather. Gondola ride can be a fun thing for kids. Strawberry valley is nothing but a small corner of the town where they grow strawberries in harvest season. Otherwise it is just a piece of land.

Mr. Khan I just want to know what is average cost of spending 4 nights and 5 days in gulmarg by a couple with all food,hotel, sightseeing and transportation cost.

Mr. Saxena – Everything in Gulmarg is costly. It will come out to be around Rs. 4000 – Rs. 5000 per day in Gulmarg for 2 people including all costs.

I am planning Gulmarg, pahalgam, so marg and srinagar trip from 15th to 22nd Feb 2019. We will be travelling with our 2yr kid. Could you please suggest something, regarding weather, things we need to follow, all the above destinations will be open, is there will be any oxygen issue. It will be really helpful if you can help me to send me a plan.

It has already snowed in Gulmarg and temperature last week was at -5. So you much pack accordingly. Sonamarg will be closed so you cannot go there. Hard to predict about Gulmarg whether or not it will be open, depends on the weather and the amount of snow. Pahalgam will remain open though.

Hi Great article! ! Wanted to check how will be Gulmarg in 2nd week of December and how is the road from Srinagar to Gulmarg is it hilly throughout?

Thank you 🙂 . It has already started to snow there last week so it is going to be very cold. Srinagar to Tangmarg is mostly a flat road. Only the last 15 kilometers is a steep climb.

Great Thanks

you are welcome

Vargis, I have seen many articles about places around the world, written by experts and travelers alike – but this article is one of the best I’ve read ever. It’s so detailed, yet simple and so descriptive yet clear. I am happy to have stumbled upon this gem. Thanks for taking the effort to put this down so well.

After all this info, I feel totally prepared for mybuocmomy trip to Gulmarg in a couple of weeks! 🙂

Thanks Jay. I am glad that the information posted was of help and appreciate you taking the time to drop a note. It has already snowed in Gulmarg. Last week the final stretch of 15 kilometers between Tangmarg to Gulmarg shut down and electricity gone for 3-4 days. So please pack and prepare accordingly.

And also, do let me know how your trip went after you return.

THINGS TO DO IN GULMARG – A Complete Travel Guide

Featured , Jammu & Kashmir

Last Updated on: Feb 10, 2023  

About this Blog: Gulmarg is one of the most popular hill stations in India and is also famous as a ski destination. In this blog we will share our experience in Gulmarg, how to reach there, where to stay, Gulmarg Gondola, things to do in Gulmarg and more. Read this Gulmarg Travel Guide to know all about Gulmarg.

You can call Gulmarg a happy destination. Because I am sure you will feel nothing but happy in this beautiful hill station of Kashmir. Gulmarg is known as an ultimate skiing destination and one of the top winter destinations in India. It also has the world’s highest Gondola ride. Apart from these there are lots of interesting things to do in Gulmarg.

In short, Gulmarg is spectacular in winter. Infact, this was one of the reasons I was skeptical to visit this place in the spring. Also the fact that we were exploring more of offbeat Kashmir in our trip, I had thought of skipping the popular Gulmarg. But boy! I was so wrong. The place is simply breathtaking in any season. And for a first timer in Kashmir, Gulmarg should be on your Jammu and Kashmir tour , no matter what.

I do have to thank Agni for literally dragging me there. Yeah! Yeah! The wife is not always right! The husband also has great ideas (sometimes!).

Gulmarg literally means “the meadow of flowers” . In summer, the green vistas of this place are dotted with colourful flowers. The place with its breathtaking beauty, mesmerizing landscapes, gondola ride and adventure activities is undoubtedly an all season destination. Read along to know our experience here along with things to do in Gulmarg, how to reach, where to stay and other relevant information.

Where is Gulmarg?

Gulmarg is a beautiful hill station located in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir. The town is located at an altitude of 8690 feet in the Pir Panjal range of the western Himalayas.

Sultan Yusuf Shah Chak had named this place ‘Gulmarg’ in the 16th century. He used to visit here with his wife Habba Khatoon .

Gulmarg was also one of the favourite destinations of Emperor Jahangir. It is believed that he had collected as many as 21 wild flowers from here for his own gardens.

During the British rule, Gulmarg served as a retreat for the British soldiers just like Darjeeling , Shimla and Mussoorie.

Is Gulmarg safe?

Yes, it is absolutely safe to visit Gulmarg. The place is visited by tourists throughout the year. The local Kashmiri are always courteous and helpful to tourists. And this is not only in this place, but the entire Kashmir. We have a detailed blog on if Kashmir is safe for tourists that you can read to know more.

Gulmarg Travel Guide

How to reach gulmarg.

To reach Gulmarg, you have to first reach Srinagar. Srinagar is well connected by flights from New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.

From Srinagar, Gulmarg is about 60 km and it takes about 90 minutes to reach there by car. You will get private taxis from Srinagar to Gulmarg. The taxi fare is Rs 2000-2500 including driver and fuel.

Gulmarg in shared taxi

You will not get any shared cab from Srinagar. You have to take a shared cab to Tangmarg. From there, you have to take another cab to Gulmarg.  Local buses are also available, but only upto Tangmarg.

What is the best time to visit Gulmarg?

The best time to visit Gulmarg actually depends on what you want to do there. If you are the one to enjoy snow and snow activities, then winter is your time. There are some who visit here to beat the heat of the plains. For them, summer will be the best time. For those looking for greenery in the valleys and flowers, July to September will be a good time. April to June is perhaps the busiest season.

Things to do in Gulmarg in 1 Day

There are a lot of things to do in Gulmarg. As much as we wanted to stay for a night here, we finally opted for a day trip. We decided we would stop for a night here the next time we visit in the winters.

We started quite early from Srinagar and soon we were out of the city. The first glimpse of the mountains seems to show us what to expect for the day. Soon we reached Magam, a small village on the way.

Finally, we reached Tangmarg from where the uphill road starts. The landscape too changes gradually. The plains and fields of mustard are gradually replaced by tall pines and cedars. The green meadows looked soothing to the eyes.

Soon we reached Gulmarg, our destination for the day. The bus stop and parking area is a small place. The place itself is quite a small hill station totally dependent on tourism. There are a number of shops and eateries in the market area. You will also find a lot of guides and ponies in this area. Cars from outside are not allowed beyond this point.

As soon as we reached the parking area, a number of guides and pony owners approached us. Yes, you will be approached by them and they will ask you to take the help of guides or take a pony ride. If you wish to take a pony ride, you can definitely do so. It will help the local economy.

However, a guide is not required to explore this place. All the places are well marked and there is not much extra a guide to add to the stories.

If you like to walk around, then ponies are also not needed to explore Gulmarg. The attractions, though not very near, are also not quite far away. If you like to walk around, you can definitely explore the place on foot, especially if you are staying for the night. Let me share with you what we did.

We had reached Gulmarg by 9 AM and decided to explore the place on foot. The pony owners warned us that the places are all far away, but yet we stuck to our decision. We knew that the Gondola ride would start at 11 AM. So we decided to visit the Maharaja Palace first.

1. Looking for History in Maharaja’s Palace

The Maharaja Palace was nearest to the Parking Area. Not that we found much history there, the palace was once a royal palace of King Ranbir Singh of Kashmir. The palace might have been quite grand once upon a time, but time has definitely taken its toll on this wooden structure. The palace looks beautiful from the outside surrounded by tall pine and cedar trees.

Unfortunately, the palace was closed that day. There was a lone guard sitting in front of the palace. Although he did not allow us entry, he did share a few interesting stories about the place. He mentioned that the Maharaja Palace is supposedly haunted and only a braveheart can venture to the place after the sun is down. Well, the worn down building along with the sky high trees did give an eerie appeal to the place.

After admiring the Maharaja Palace from outside, we decided to head out for our next destination. The guard also informed us that there is a viewpoint just a few steps away from the palace. It is not exactly a viewpoint, but you get a great view of the Baramulla plains and the mountains from there. Pakistan is just beyond those mountains, the guard informed.

Maharaja Palace has a nominal entry fee of Rs 30.00.

2. Gulmarg Golf Course

To be honest, I was awestruck seeing so much green. It was here I decided for the first time that Gulmarg is a happy place.

Gulmarg was once a retreat for the British troops in India. The British quite loved a game of golf and so they developed golf courses in this quaint hill station. The gold course was opened in 1911 and is one of the highest ones in the world. The first Golf Championship was played here in 1922.

The Gulmarg Golf Course was redesigned and reopened in 2011. I do not understand anything about golf. However, I found the place quite beautiful. Everywhere is green and it is so soothing to the eyes.

3. St Mary’s Church

St. Mary’s Church is located just near the Golf Course. The century old Victorian Church looks quite beautiful standing in the middle of the meadows. The church has grey stone walls and is decorated beautifully inside. It is believed that the church was built in 1902 and was renovated later in 2013.

4. Go for the Gulmarg Gondola Ride

After marveling at the St. Mary’s Church, we decided to go towards the Gondola Station. Gulmarg Gondola is by far the biggest attraction of Gulmarg. The cable car takes you from Gulmarg to the top of Apharwat Peak. Believe me, this cable car ride is a ‘once in a lifetime’ kind of experience.

Gulmarg Gondola is one of the world’s highest operating cable cars . This ropeway is capable of ferrying 600 people per hour. The ropeway is divided into 2 phases – Phase 1 and Phase 2. Gulmarg is the starting point while Apharwat is the end point. Kongdori in between is the centre point and the end point of Phase 1.

The Gondola Station is about 1.5 km walking distance from the parking area. If you want to take a pony, it will cost about Rs 200-250.00.

The Gulmarg Gondola Boarding Point is a huge building. There is a ticket counter outside from where you will get tickets for both Phase 1 and Phase 2. You can get a ticket to Phase 1 only and then get your ticket to Phase 2 from the Phase 1 cable station.

We got our tickets for Phase 1 only and went inside the boarding station. The inside is quite impressive. Soon we were in the middle of a long queue waiting for our own cable car ride.

Gulmarg Gondola Phase 1

Fortunately for us, we did not have to wait more than 10 minutes in the queue. We heard that in peak tourist seasons, the waiting time is considerably longer, both while buying the tickets as well as at the boarding point.

We boarded the cable car and were off. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Kongdori, the Phase 1 station. In between we saw snow, pine trees, Gujjar settlements and more snow. It was an interesting ride. Once we were at Phase 1 station, we got down and stepped out. And this is what we saw!

There was snow and snow everywhere. All my desire to see snow in Kashmir was totally fulfilled. First we saw snowfall at Naranag and then on our way to Sonmarg. And finally in Gulmarg we were literally rolling in snow. As we walked down, we saw a few tourists trying their hand on skiing. Several others were playing with the snow while many were enjoying other snow activities.

What did we do? Well, I was totally ecstatic to see so much snow. Agni was equally happy! We walked, fell down on snow, had a snowball fight and did all the crazy things we wanted to do. Later I went for a snowmobile ride that made me all giddy with joy. I actually felt like a kid who has been given her favourite chocolate! Yes, Gulmarg is definitely a happy place!

There is an eating area where there are a few restaurants. We went there to have Kahwa and Kashmiri Pulao. We did not go to Phase 2 and decided to spend our time at Kongdori itself.

Gulmarg Gondola Phase 2

The boarding station for Phase 2 is just beside that of Phase 1. It takes another 10 -12 minutes to reach Apharwat Peak , the end point of Phase 2. The views from the peak are quite breathtaking. If you have time, you can trek to the Alpather Lake located about 5 km away. However, remember that the trail is quite steep. There are no eateries in Phase 2.

If you are planning to trek to Alpather Lake, start early and visit Phase 2 first.

The end of Phase 2 is actually not the Apharwat Peak. It is a part of Kongdoori Mountains, a shoulder of the Apharwat Peak. The top of Apharwat Peak is towards Alpather Lake and you have to trek to reach there.

After enjoying a considerable amount of time at Phase 1, we returned back to Gulmarg. We decided to walk around a bit and finally return back to the parking area.

The ticket cost for Gulmarg Gondola Ride for phase 1 (Gulmarg to Kongdori) is Rs 740 for Indians and Rs 1210 for foreigners for extended duration.

The ticket cost for phase 2 is Rs 1210 Indians and Rs 1900 for foreigners.

5. Maharani Temple

On our return, we stopped at the Maharani Temple. The temple, located on a small hillock is said to be the royal temple of the Dogra Dynasty. The temple was built by Maharaja Hari Singh and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is known as Maharani Temple because the queen Maharani Mohini Bai used to pray here everyday.

The priest of the temple is a Muslim. So yes, there is no religious intolerance here.

It was almost 4 PM when we returned back to the main parking area. We had a lot of fun in Gulmarg that day. We had in fact done all the touristy things that day. After all, Gulmarg is a fully tourist destination and there is a reason for the popularity of the place.

If you are staying here for the night, then there are a few more places that you can visit.

6. Strawberry Valley

This is a small area having a strawberry plantation. It is not really a valley. The plantation can only be seen in the winter months. So if you do not have much time in hand, you can easily skip this place.

Other Things to do in Gulmarg

The ultimate skiing destination in india.

Yes, Gulmarg is the ultimate destination in India for skiing enthusiasts. It is the world’s third highest ski-resort and is known to have the best powder snow for skiing in India. Basically there are different types of snow and powder snow is considered to be the best for skiing, for both professionals and beginners.

The majestic Apharwat peak is the longest ski slope in Asia. There are a few ski institutes here. Or you can also take the help of the local ski instructors. There are a number of equipment rental shops from where you can rent good quality skis, booths and poles. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, you will be totally enamored by skiing in Gulmarg.

Enjoy Winter Sports

Apart from skiing, there are other winter sports that you can enjoy. You can go snowboarding, sledging activities and snow mobile.

Visit the Dargah of Baba Reshi

The shrine of Sufi Baba Reshi is located about 5 km from Gulmarg. You can visit there while going or coming back from Gulmarg. The Dargah is quite beautiful and is visited by a lot of devotees.

Tangmarg is another stopover on your way to Gulmarg, located about 13 km from the town. Located on the lower foothills of the Pir Panjal ranges, Tangmarg is surrounded by rolling green hills with mountain peaks at the backdrop. The main attraction of Tangmarg is Drung, known for the frozen waterfalls.

Where to stay in Gulmarg?

Gulmarg is one of the most famous hill stations in India. There are a number of hotels and resorts in Gulmarg catering to your budget. Minimum rate for accommodation here starts from Rs 2000-2500 during off-season. In peak tourist season, the rate goes higher. We would recommend you to book your hotels in peak season, especially during the months of January and February.

You can book your stay from here:

Gulmarg Travel Guide (FAQs Answered)

Gulmarg is famous for its breathtaking landscapes and adventure activities. Known as the “Meadow of Flowers”, Gulmarg is a stunning place having gorgeous views of the Pir Panjal ranges, rolling green meadows surrounded by pine and cedar trees. During winter, the place becomes a snowy wonderland. Gulmarg is also known for its best skiing slopes and other winter activities.

Yes, Gulmarg is perfectly safe for tourists. Gulmarg is one of the main tourist destinations in Kashmir and is visited by a large number of tourists all through the year. This place is usually unaffected by the unrest that might be found in other parts of Kashmir. However, take an informed decision before visiting any place.

2 days are enough to explore the attractions in Gulmarg. There are a number of things to do in Gulmarg. One day is to explore Gulmarg and the second day is for the Gondola ride upto Phase 2. You can also visit Gulmarg as a day trip from Srinagar.

What clothes you need to carry will depend on the time you are visiting. For the winter months from December to February, carry heavy woolen, jacket, thermals, gloves, woolen socks, mufflers and windproof jackets. During the months of March and April and October carry light woolens and jackets. Between May to August, carry cotton clothes and light jackets. We would also recommend you to carry proper shoes that you are comfortable walking in for all the seasons.

Gulmarg Gondola is a ropeway project started jointly by the Jammu and Kashmir Government and a French firm Pomagalski. This is considered to be Asia’s highest and longest cable car line. The entire ride consists of 2 stages – Phase 1 from Gulmarg to Kongdori and Phase 2 from Kongdori to Apharwat Peak.

There is no need to take a guide at Gulmarg. The places are all well marked and well known. Infact, there is no need for taking a guide for the Gondola ride as well, though a lot of guides will approach you. However, you can employ the services of a guide to help in their economy.

Prepaid network does not work in Kashmir and so you need to have a postpaid connection there. 3G network is available in Gulmarg around the market area and beginner slopes.  We found networks of Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone and Jio in Gulmarg. Most of the hotels provide free Wifi.

Srinagar is located about 50 km from Gulmarg. The entire road from Srinagar to Gulmarg is in an excellent condition. From Tangmarg, you start to gain altitude.

It is difficult to find snow in Gulmarg during May. The temperature rises to about 35 degrees and the snow melts. Infact, you might find only patches of snow in the second phase as well. However, it is prudent to remember that weather in mountains can change anytime.

You can buy Kashmiri handicrafts, pashmina shawls, brass items and stone jewellery and dry fruits. However, you will get all these items in Srinagar itself, where options will be more. So we recommend you to buy any souvenirs from Srinagar itself.

Winter or not, Gulmarg is beautiful. And for us, it is definitely a happy destination. Now that we have visited this place in spring, we cannot wait to visit there again in the winters.

Hope this Gulmarg Travel Guide will help you plan your trip and decide on things to do in Gulmarg. If you find this blog useful, please share this with your family, friends and neighbours.

Exploring the best of Gulmarg in summer: 5 must-do activities

TRAVEL TRENDS , JAMMU AND KASHMIR Created : Apr 15, 2024, 00:00 IST

Gulmarg, often dubbed as the ‘Meadow of Flowers,’ is a picturesque hill station nestled in the heart of the Kashmir Valley in India. While it's renowned for its winter sports and snow-capped landscapes, Gulmarg transforms into a breathtaking summer retreat when the snow melts, revealing lush greenery, blooming flowers, and panoramic vistas. If you're planning a summer getaway to Gulmarg, here are five must-do activities to make the most of your trip:

Gondola ride to Apharwat Peak

Get ready for an unforgettable journey aboard the Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. During the summer months, the Gondola takes visitors up to the first phase at Kongdori Station, from where you can witness the stunning beauty of the valley carpeted with vibrant flowers and verdant meadows. For the more adventurous, continue your ascent to the second phase, reaching an elevation of over 13,000 ft at Apharwat Peak, where you can marvel at panoramic views of snow-clad mountains and vast expanses of alpine wilderness.

Trekking amid alpine splendour

Gulmarg is a paradise for trekking enthusiasts, and has a network of scenic trails that will take you through pine forests, alpine meadows, and remote villages. Set out on a trekking adventure to explore the pristine beauty of the region, with trails ranging from leisurely strolls suitable for beginners to challenging routes for seasoned trekkers. Popular trekking destinations include the Alpather Lake Trek, Khilanmarg Trek, and the picturesque route from Gulmarg to Tosamaidan, each offering unique vistas and experiences that immerse you in the natural splendour of Gulmarg.

Golfing at Gulmarg Golf Course

Set against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks and lush meadows, golf enthusiasts can tee off amid breathtaking scenery, with the 18-hole Gulmarg Golf Course here, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or a novice, playing a round of golf in the refreshing mountain air, with stunning landscapes at the backdrop, is an experience not to be missed during your summer sojourn in Gulmarg.

Picnic by the tranquil waters of Ningle Nallah

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and indulge in a peaceful picnic by the serene waters of Ningle Nallah, a picturesque stream that meanders through the verdant valleys of Gulmarg. Surrounded by towering pine trees and carpeted with wildflowers, Ningle Nallah offers the perfect setting for a relaxing day amid nature. Pack a picnic basket with local delicacies, unwind by the tranquil waters, and soak in the serene ambiance of this idyllic spot.

Horse riding

Experience the beauty of Gulmarg from a different perspective with a horse riding excursion through its enchanting landscapes. Traverse meandering trails, lush meadows, and dense forests on horseback, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the region while enjoying the rhythm of your steed's hooves. Whether you're an experienced rider or a first-time adventurer, horse riding in Gulmarg offers an unforgettable way to explore its scenic vistas and charming surroundings.

10 Ridiculously Spacious Weekender Bags You’ll Want on Hand for Travel This Year — Up to 50% Off at Amazon

Prices start as low as $21 on these functional and stylish duffels.

If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

On certain short vacations, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to pack up your bulky rolling suitcase. Namely, weekend trips. When you’re planning on only being away from home for just a few days, a spacious weekender bag is really all you need to get the job done, and Amazon has proven once again to be the go-to destination for all of your travel needs.

Whether you’re gearing up for a bachelorette trip , a beachside getaway, or even a staycation in your own city, we’ve uncovered the 10 weekender bags currently on sale at Amazon that are about to make your packing experience so much easier. Best of all, prices start as low as just $21.

Vera Bradley Women’s Cotton Weekender Travel Bag

Vera Bradley has been making spacious and reliable duffel bags for years, and this cotton tote is perfect for anything from a short weekend getaway to even longer adventures thanks to the luggage sleeve at the back of the bag that makes it stackable atop your rolling suitcase. Top-carry handles alongside an adjustable shoulder strap make traveling with this bag easy and comfortable, while a multitude of exterior and interior mesh pockets make way for impressive organization. Plus, the entire bag is machine washable so you can rinse away the dirt and grime of the airport once you’ve arrived home. 

Etronik Travel Weekender Bag

If you’ve been eyeing the viral Béis weekender bag but can’t swing the price tag, this best-seller from Etronik is an excellent, wallet-friendly alternative that boasts impressive packing capacity alongside a number of compartments for maximum organization. The roomy primary pocket offers ample space for all of your favorite clothing that you might want to pack for your trip, while the base of the bag is fitted with a special shoe compartment to keep the remnants of filthy city streets away from your clean laundry. Air vents in the shoe compartment ensure that your bag will never get stuffy (even during longer trips), and right now the top-rated tote is on sale for just $36 at Amazon.

Hyc00 Travel Weekender Overnight Bag

Simple, spacious, and reliable, this best-selling tote bag from Hyc00 is a worthy bag selection for overnight and weekend travel, and can even be repurposed as a gym bag in the interim. The 35-liter capacity has room for several days’ worth of clothing, shoes, and toiletries, while a water-resistant exterior is great for traveling during the rainy spring months. The modest size of this bag is airplane compliant, securing its spot as a convenient carry-on, and a simple trolley sleeve also makes this bag a great stackable option alongside a larger rolling suitcase. It even contains a built-in laptop compartment and wet pocket to meet all of your travel needs.

Soaeon Canvas Travel Overnight Weekender Bag

This luxurious and astoundingly spacious weekender bag is a standout choice for travelers (and also currently available for just $38 at Amazon) because not only does it have the packing capacity for up to four days, but it also unzips like a traditional suitcase to allow for even more organized packing. The details of this bag set it apart from competitors as it features durable leather handles, a sturdy, waterproof exterior, and reinforced stitching that will keep it in prime shape for years to come. Just don’t forget to clip the additional 10 percent off coupon at checkout for even more impressive savings.

Foundry Fit & Fresh Art Deco Weekender Bag

Overpackers will be thrilled to get their hands on this exceptionally large weekender bag that’s best suited for long car rides, trips to the beach, or any other occasion when you plan on packing a large volume of items. This tote measures 22 inches by 18 inches by 12 inches, allowing ample space for more than everything you’ll need — just note that it’s not likely a great choice for taking on an airplane. A wide zipper at the top of the bag alongside several interior zippered pockets make it easy to keep your belongings organized and secure, and when this bag is not in use, the canvas material allows it to be easily folded up and kept out of the way. At just $21, you can upgrade your travel experience even on a budget.

Bagsmart Travel Quilted Weekender Bag

Bagsmart excels at crafting high-quality travel gear at affordable prices, and this quilted weekender bag is on sale for just $27 in time for your spring travels ahead. This tote is perfectly suited for air travel and will easily fit in the overhead compartment of most commercial airlines; plus, it comes with a comfy and adjustable shoulder-carry strap, a convenient trolley sleeve, and a portable shoe bag to keep your clothes clean and separated. With enough space to pack for up to a four-day trip, this versatile carry-on is a reliable choice for any trips you have on the agenda for the coming months.

Wogarl 4-piece Weekender Bag Set

Get the most bang for your buck with this four-piece luggage set from Wogarl that not only comes with a weekender bag, but also a shoe bag, a toiletry tote, an additional dopp kit, and even a matching purse. A luggage sleeve at the back of the bag makes it easily stackable for week-long adventures, while a water-resistant exterior promises to keep your belongings safe during any inclement weather you may encounter during your travel days. Plus, the base of the bag features another hidden compartment that’s an excellent place to store your dirty laundry, making for a streamlined unpacking experience once you arrive home. 

Ibfun Weekender Bag

Looking to add some personality to your luggage selection this season? Well, this Ibfun weekender duffel is poised to be a great travel companion thanks to its spacious primary compartment, reinforced and reliable design, and roomy shoe pocket that’s lined with waterproof material to take on rainy weather in style. Right now, this convenient carry-on is double discounted to just $35 at Amazon, and it even boasts enough space to pack for up to four days of traveling (or a weekend trip if you’re an overpacker). And with a bonus toiletry kit and purse included, you can’t go wrong in scoring this unbeatable deal.

Beulptn Small Weekender Bag with Shoe Compartment

Minimalist packers will find this compact weekender to be a worthy addition to their travels — especially considering it’s on sale for just $24 at Amazon. Small enough to fit underneath most airplane seats (and inside of overhead bins), this weekender is truly ideal for two-day trips. It’s lightweight, durable, and conveniently designed to keep your belongings well-organized and in place, and it even features a hidden shoe pocket on the side for a single pair of your favorite kicks. 

S-Zone Canvas Overnight Weekender Bag

If you’re shopping for a no-fuss bag that offers incredible packing capacity, a sturdy design, and even an expandable primary compartment, this duffel from S-Zone is sure to become your go-to choice — and it’s a whopping 50 percent off at Amazon. A canvas exterior accentuated with leather top-carry handles and other detailing creates a luxurious finish to this refined bag, while it’s the perfect size to function as a carry-on during your next flight. Rivets at the bottom of the bag add valuable reinforcements that help it stand on its own, and an adjustable and removable shoulder-carry strap is the cherry on top of this perfect weekender.

Insider Today: 'Stopover' travel hack

• This post originally appeared in the Insider Today newsletter.
• You can sign up for Business Insider's daily newsletter here .

Welcome back to our Saturday edition! Wait — don't put down that yummy dessert. One 38-year-old woman told Business Insider that instead of skipping treats, she lost 140 pounds in two years by eating more high-protein foods.

That's great news for foodies like myself. Keep reading for more good news to kick-start your weekend.

On the agenda:

"Stopover" programs let travelers explore between connecting flights .

What it's like to work with a life coach who charges $400 a month .

"Challengers" turned Zendaya and the cast into tennis stars .

Two lifestyle adjustments helped one woman lose 55 pounds .

But first: Power lunches are back, baby.

If this was forwarded to you, sign up here . Download Insider's app here.

This week's dispatch

Power hungry (literally).

It's no secret that many deals are made outside of the boardroom.

In 2013, Jeff Bezos famously secured The Washington Post for $250 million while traipsing around Hailey, Idaho during the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference. That's where billionaires and other business types strike deals while competing in tennis matches, going on guided hikes, and yes, eating lunch.

You don't have to be a billionaire to capitalize on a midday meeting, though. Enter: the power lunch. (Or should I say "remember the power lunch"?)

As the call to return to the office slowly drags on, many are taking advantage of what can happen over a nice meal.

One BI reporter went to Cecconi's in West Hollywood to find out why the Soho House-owned restaurant has been a mainstay for power-lunchers for 15 years. Her review is the first of many stories that will dig into some of the hottest power-lunch spots across the country.

Although she had a mixed review of the menu, what remains true is that productivity isn't just reserved for the office.

Score a "stopover" flight

Need a vacation within your vacation? Some travelers make it happen by booking long layovers. That gives them time to leave the airport and explore for a few hours — or days — before the next flight.

Known as "stopover" programs, airlines benefit from this hack, too. Plus, the layovers can sometimes come with free or discounted hotels, excursions, transportation, and food at the layover destination.

How to book the long layovers .

You'll soon be able to get an automatic refund when your flight is delayed or canceled

It's time to invest in yourself

BI's investing correspondent finally took the advice she's written so much about and invested in herself. She spends $400 a month on a life coach, a splurge she said is some of the best money she's ever spent.

She and her coach have met weekly for the past nine months. The coach has helped her write speeches, navigate cross-country moves, and held her accountable for the things she wants to accomplish.

What it's like to hire a life coach .

From movie star to tennis star

"Challengers," a steamy new drama that premiered Friday, stars 27-year-old Zendaya, who transformed into a tennis pro for the film.

Tennis coach Brad Gilbert served as a consultant on the film, training Zendaya and her costars. He told BI what the cast endured — from spending hours playing tennis to packing on muscle — to play the part.

Everything it takes to become an on-screen tennis pro .

Easy lifestyle changes for weight loss

Megan Tjelle, a 29-year-old from Chicago, was athletic as a kid, but became less active after starting nursing school. Throughout her 20s, she said, her weight increased and her confidence sank.

In 2022, she made two small changes: eating a balanced diet in a calorie deficit, and gradually moving more. Over six months, through diet and walking alone, Tjelle lost 55 pounds.

How small changes can have big results .

I hate cottage cheese but I tried stirring it into my meals for an extra dose of protein. I felt my gym performance improve.

What we're watching this weekend

"MILF Manor": The second season of the controversial show — wherein moms date each other's sons — is even messier than the first. It's streaming on Hulu.

"The Doomsday Cult of Antares de la Luz": Former members of a Chilean cult speak out about their experiences in the new Netflix series.

Men’s Tennis Team on a Quest for First Patriot League Title

Tournament top-seed terriers travel to west point for four-day tournament this weekend.

Last year, the Boston University men’s tennis team reached its first-ever Patriot League championship match, but fell 4-0 to then top-seeded Navy. This year, the Terriers have posted a perfect 6-0 record in conference play and are the No. 1 seed entering this weekend’s four-day conference tournament at Army West Point.

The Terriers begin play in the tournament quarterfinal on Friday at Malek Tennis Center in West Point, N.Y. Each round will stage nine possible matches. Three doubles matches are played first, with the school that wins two of three clinching the round’s first point. Then, a possible six singles matches will be played—each singles match is worth one additional point. The school earning four total points will win the matchday.

Dejan Stankovic (Wheelock’08,’11,’15), men’s tennis head coach, says he is confident about the program’s chances of capturing its first-ever Patriot League title. 

“I know we’re really good,” Stankovic says. “For other teams to challenge us, they’re going to have to be at their best. I am definitely not underestimating the competition, but I think we’re playing really well, so I’m feeling pretty good going into this tournament.” 

Last year’s third-place regular season finish was the first top-3 Patriot League finish for the BU men’s tennis program since 2016, earning them their first-ever PL championship match appearance. The Terriers have not won a conference championship since 1996, when they played in the America East conference. 

“We haven’t won a conference tournament in decades,” Stankovic says. “So maybe there’s some type of a target on our back, but [we have] more of a sense that we’ve got a really good shot.” 

Cocaptain Owen Voigt (Questrom’24) says he’s seen the program improve from a 3-18 record in 2021 to this year’s 18-7 finish. He says that while the roster hasn’t changed significantly during his four years at BU, the team’s confidence has more than doubled. 

“We’ve had pretty much the same guys for the past three years,” Voigt says. I think our confidence in ourselves and our teammates has grown a lot. We all believe in each other. I am the oldest guy on the team, and I’ve seen it all—I haven’t been on a team where it was like this before, where we all just believe in ourselves. Every single match that we play, we know that we are the better players.” 

Headlining the Terriers best finish during their Patriot League tenure is six-time PL Player of the Week Corey Craig (CAS’26). The reigning PL Rookie of the Year went undefeated in his four most recent matches, against Lehigh on April 12 and Army-West Point on April 14. 

Although Craig has set the Patriot League record for weekly accolades in a single season, Voigt and Stankovic agree that the team’s biggest asset has been its willingness to come together—a rarity in such an individual sport as tennis. 

“It can be pretty difficult to get a group of 8 to 10 individuals to work together towards one goal, but I’ve never seen a team where we’re as together as we are on this team,” Voigt says. “What’s different is that we all believe in each other. I tell the guys, and what our coaches say is: everybody can bring value during a tennis match, no matter if you have a racket in your hands or not.” 

Stankovic lauds his team, but reserves special commendation for cocaptain Voigt. 

“Owen is one of those guys that just gets the team going,” the coach says. “He’s so selfless—he’ll do anything for the team to win. And I feel like you can’t find a player like that too often. So the culture of our team is a lot better because we have a captain who demonstrates that and walks the walk every single day.” 

Voigt says he’s focused on getting his teammates prepped for a successful weekend in West Point. “I’m just just trying to get everybody excited,” he says. “This year, we have a target on our back, which we haven’t had in the past couple of years. Being the number one seed and beating all of these top teams already this season and going to the tournament undefeated, everybody wants another shot at us. So we have to be ready for other teams to punch us back. 

“But I think that we will be able to handle any team that comes our way. So I’m just getting everybody to be super confident in themselves and making sure that we’ll be able to work together over this next week to bring it home.”

The Boston University men’s tennis team will begin play in the 2024 Patriot League Championship Tournament on Friday, April 26, at Army West Point’s Malek Tennis Center in West Point, N.Y. Live statistics will be posted on goterriers.com and updates will be posted live via Twitter @BUGameDay and @TerrierTennis.

Track work near Orinda BART station affecting travel between Rockridge, Lafayette

By Jose Fabian

April 27, 2024 / 10:22 AM PDT / CBS San Francisco

BART is doing track work this weekend, and it will require passengers to use a free bus to get between two East Bay stations. 

The upgrades being done are near the Orinda tracks, between Rockridge and Lafayette.

Today and Sunday free buses will replace trains between Rockridge and Lafayette stations so our crews can work on the trackway near Orinda Station. Expect delays of 20-30 minutes in the area. Get more details on the work and service impacts here: https://t.co/h4cMaVCp7o pic.twitter.com/mZmUSm7fyQ — BART (@SFBART) April 27, 2024

Anyone traveling between the two stations will have to transfer to a free bus. It will cause a delay of about 20 to 30 minutes for travelers. 

There will also be a change in schedule for the last nighttime departure from Antioch. The last train normally leaves at 11:54 p.m. toward Lafayette, but for this weekend, it will be canceled. 

Westbound travelers will need to catch the 11:34 p.m. 

BART said the work will be going on Saturday and Sunday.
