Ski trips in Gulmarg

Powder & Off-piste

Guided backcountry descents

Planning a powder trip

Gulmarg is on the list for one reason: the terrain above the second gondola stage is enormous, lightly tracked and genuinely serious. Apharwat opens onto bowls and long descents that would be roped off almost anywhere else, and the snow that lands on them is dry.

Questions

What is the best time to visit Kashmir?
Kashmir is beautiful year-round. Spring (March–May) brings blooming gardens and tulips, summer (June–August) offers lush meadows ideal for trekking, autumn (September–November) turns the chinars golden, and winter (December–February) is perfect for snow and skiing in Gulmarg. Tell us your travel dates and we’ll recommend the best experiences for that season.
