The meadow of flowers Gulmarg is an outstanding hill resort for the nature-admirers, honeymoon couples and adventurers. An imposing carpet of lavishly green grasses and colourful flowers cover the place during summers and falls, while the winters let it don the white sheet of snow. Breathtaking views of snow-topped Himalayan peaks, dense pine forests, majestic mountain streams and some extremely serene lakes make one feel having dialogue with Mother Nature.

Rightly tagged as the heartland of winter sports in India, Gulmarg is a world-famous ski destination. Thrilling ski slopes, along with ski lifts, ski courses and ski competitions draw huge flocks of adventurers to this fabulous hill station. Apart from skiing, trekking and golfing are other popular activities for the visitors. Gulmag Gondola, designated as the world’s second highest, is an added attraction and a must-try activity to savour the phenomenal beauty all around.

You must visit the most popular sites that include Alpather Lake, Verinag Spring, Ningle Nallah Stream, Baba Reshi Shrine and St. Mary’s Church among many others. Flawless nature’s splendour would enforce you to extend your holiday stay at Gulmarg.
