Overview/Itinerary
Gulmarg Skiing is a premier Ski destination in India. Apharwat Mountain with over 1300 vertical metres of scenic snow skiing terrain, Gulmarg sits along with the planet's most incredible mountain range, the Himalayas. Apharwat mountain is home to both unbelievable Alpine ski runs and excellent off-piste powder runs. All made possible by Gulmarg's famous Gondola ski cable car, which climbs into a jaw-dropping altitude of approximately 4000 metres above the sea level, the best ski lift on earth!
Gulmarg Kashmir is relatively small and isolated, and mostly underdeveloped town. Old heritage hotels are still operational run by British Families till date. Being close to the Pakistan border you will find Indian troops always present in the town. It is one of the safest places to go on vacation in India. Gulmarg is established amongst the peaks of Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas. An attractive destination for adventurous travellers.

Utkarsh Kumbhare
The trek leaders have good experience and are very helpful during trek with all the necessary details that one need to know.
I would suggest to carry minimum luggage as possible as the trek is demanding with high endurance so keeping the luggage at minimum only essentials like water, energy bars and drinks, will help you once the 75% bar of the trek is done😅....also would be nice if you practice cardio beforehand atleast 15-20 days if you don't go to gym, it will really aid you.
Overall a very good experience with treks and trails.
