There are poma lifts, gondolas, and chair lift to go up against various slopes. The ticket prices are different for every lift and come with day passes to use them multiple times.

If you can walk, you can ski. Participants who are generally healthy and without any serious medical condition can sign up for the course.

A typical ski day has 4-8 hours of skiing, depending on you. Time flies very quickly on the slope, and you'll be wanting more when the slope announces its closure.

Absolutely. Children pick up much faster than adults. Ideal age to start is 4 years +

Skiing is safer than you think. If you follow safety guidelines and ski with a trainer/ experienced buddy, you will be fine. It is also important to check weather conditions before heading out especially to the higher slopes.

There are very little medical facilities in Gulmarg, and you cannot rely on them. Gulmarg's hospital has a small pharmacy that can sell you medicine if needed. There is a hospital in Srinagar (which is 52 kilometers from Gulmarg), but it is not up to Western standards. You should take caution when skiing in Gulmarg as you don't want to get injured.

That is correct. The summit of Gulmarg Gondola sits at 3,980 meters and Mt. Apharwat summit at 4,124 meters. However, you are sleeping at an elevation of 2,660 meters, so severe altitude sickness is not a major issue. Avoid alcohol at the beginning of your stay and drink plenty of water. Ski at lower elevations during the first few days of your trip. After a few days, you will begin to adjust to the altitude. If severe headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, and breathlessness persist, it is wise to move the affected person to a lower altitude as soon as possible. If that doesn't help, you should seek medical help.

For many years, there were political disputes between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir province. However, tensions have subsided over the past decade. There is still a strong military presence in Kashmir, but they are there to ensure your safety. Gulmarg (which is located in the Kashmir state of India) is a remote mountain village which is isolated from political unrest, and tourists should feel safe in Gulmarg.

The road from Srinagar to Gulmarg is paved. During the winter months (and especially after a snowstorm), the roads in higher elevations (from Srinagar to Gulmarg) can be icy. However, road conditions have improved over the years, and there are more snowplows available to clear the roads quicker. All our taxi drivers carry chains for the last 12 kilometers.

All local postpaid connections work in Gulmarg and offer 2G service. Some hotels also offer wifi service but these can be catchy sometimes.

Gulmarg is a cash-oriented town. You will need to pay cash for lift tickets, food, and drinks in most places. Your hotel might agree to run a tab for all your meals and purchases and then allow you to pay at the end of your stay with a card.

Gulmarg is a small village located in the Northern part of India, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It's located in the Pir Panjal peaks on the Western edge of the Himalayan Mountains. The nearest city is Srinagar (52 kilometers from Gulmarg), which is Kashmir's state capital. International travelers will most likely fly into Delhi, India, and then take a flight to Srinagar (there are several land options available too). From Srinagar, you can take a taxi to Gulmarg. The approximate travel time (by air) from Delhi to Gulmarg is about 5 hours including flight and taxi to Gulmarg.

Srinagar is a military airport and only operates for civilian flights during the day time. The weather plays an important role in on-time arrivals. Please books your flights so that they take off or land after 1 pm at Srinagar to have the best possible chances of on-time arrival.

Gulmarg is 1.5 hours away by road from Srinagar airport.
