Dear,
Literally translated ‘Meadow of Flowers’, Gulmarg is a picturesque hill station with vibrant flowers contrasted against the backdrop of snow-capped mountain peaks. A popular picnic spot, Gulmarg has much to offer in terms of beautiful natural beauty, and is also renowned for the highest and longest cable car system in the entire Asian continent.
Things to see and do : Gondola rides up the mountain, leisure walks through the meadows, and skiing.
When to go : June through October, December & January for snow.
Our 2 cents :
It is better to purchase the Gondola (cable car) tickets from Srinagar so that you don’t have to wait in line once you get to Gulmarg.
Avoid going to Gulmarg as part of a day trip from Srinagar. One needs to stay there for at least one night.
Regards
Wahid
