First, visit Beetaab Valley, Chandanwari Valley, and Aru Valley, which require a local taxi due to government restrictions on your car. The round trip costs between Rs 1,800 and Rs 2,300, and your driver will assist you with booking. Additionally, you can hire a pony to explore extra sites like Kashmir Valley, Baisaran Valley, and Deaban Valley (optional). Finally, return to the hotel in Pahalgam for an overnight stay.

Gulmarg Gondola

After an early breakfast, drive to Gulmarg, nestled in a cup-shaped valley of the Pir Panjal Range at an altitude of 2,730 meters (8,957 feet). Originally named Gaurimarg, or “the Fair One,” by shepherds in honor of the Hindu Goddess Parvati, the resort was renamed Gulmarg, meaning “Meadow of Flowers,” by Sultan Yusuf Shah of the Chak Dynasty in the 16th century. Mughal Emperor Jahangir even collected 21 varieties of wildflowers from this area for his garden.

Activities in Gulmarg

Gulmarg is a popular skiing destination. After Indian independence, planners aimed to develop it for winter sports. In 1960, the Indian Department of Tourism invited Rudy Matt to identify a suitable location, and he chose Gulmarg. The Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering was established in 1968 to train ski instructors. Over the next decade, India invested $30 million to transform Gulmarg into a world-class ski destination. By the mid-1980s, heli-skiing was introduced in collaboration with French skier Sylvain Sudan.

Winter in Gulmarg 

According to CNN, Gulmarg is the heartland of winter sports in India and was considered a potential host for the 2010 Commonwealth Winter Games. It has been rated as Asia’s seventh-best ski destination.

The Gulmarg Gondola, located in Jammu & Kashmir, is the world’s second-highest operating cable car, following the closure of the Merida cable car in Venezuela in 2008. It has two phases: the first phase reaches Kongdoori (8,530 feet), while the second phase goes to Afarwat Peak (13,780 feet). Ticket prices are Rs 740 for the first phase and Rs 950 for the second phase, totaling Rs 1,690 per adult.

 

Purchase your tickets to ascend Kongdoori or Afarwat Peak using this impressive cable car facility. Enjoy activities such as snow sledging and observe the tribal life of the Himalayan Gujjars, or nomadic people. Finally, return to Srinagar for an overnight stay at the hotel.

Sonamarg trip

En route to Sonamarg, feast your eyes on the breathtaking landscapes of the outer Himalayan range, featuring nomadic life, the Indus River flowing alongside your journey, towering snow-capped peaks, apple orchards, and wildflowers. Don’t miss the Shitkari Bridge, where the famous Bollywood movie *3 Idiots* was filmed, along with many other locations.

Upon arrival in Sonamarg, enjoy local sightseeing, including a visit to the world-famous Thajiwas Glacier, a 1,000-year-old glacier, and a trout fish farm. Note that additional charges apply for horse riding, sledge riding, and other tourist activities.
