Meadow of flowers

Gulmarg

A high meadow with one of the world's highest cable cars and India's best snow.
~50 km from Srinagar~1.5–2 h by road
The red-roofed Maharani Temple overlooking the green meadow bowl of Gulmarg, forested hills veiled in mist
Why go
  • 01

    The Gulmarg Gondola climbs in two phases, with Phase 2 reaching close to Apharwat peak.

  • 02

    In winter it's India's skiing capital; in summer, a wide green meadow of wildflowers.

  • 03

    Short enough for a day trip from Srinagar, special enough to stay a night.

Best time

December–February for snow; May–September for green meadows and flowers.

Don't miss

  • Gondola Phase 1 to Kongdoori
  • St. Mary's Church on the meadow
  • Strawberry Valley and Alpather views (weather permitting)
  • A beginner ski lesson in winter
  • Pony ride across the meadow
