Gulmarg is one of the highest lift-served ski resorts in the world.  The skiing season in Gulmarg
usually commences before Christmas (around the middle of December) and continues until the
middle of April. In January-February, 1998 the first National Winter Games of India were held at
Gulmarg for which the facilities were enormously improved and upgraded. The resort acquired two
Kasse Bohrer snow beating machines used for preparing skiing slopes, and five snowmobiles which
can be made available for going up the mountain. Good quality equipment, including skis, boots,
poles, gloves and goggles are available for hire from the Government-run ski shop. There are also
trained instructors available for guiding and instruction.

Many winter activities can be enjoyed in Gulmarg, including heli-skiing, ice skating, sledding, skiing,
and inner tubing.  No matter your abilities there is something for everyone to enjoy.  The most
enjoyable aspect of a winter sojourn in Gulmarg is the friendly atmosphere.

We can arrange everything for you so you don't need to do anything except enjoy yourself.  We can
organize your transportation to and from Gulmarg, book your hotel at every point along your tour,
and anything else you might want.  To get an itinerary and a price quote simply click the "Customize
