Gulmarg — 1 Night / 2 Days Tour
Jammu & Kashmir · Mountain resort — A meadow at 2,650 metres that becomes India's main ski resort in winter. The gondola is the draw in either season and runs in two phases — the second, to Apharwat at nearly 4,000 metres, is the one worth queuing for and is frequently closed by weather. Most visitors come as a day trip from Srinagar, which works, though a night here means reaching the gondola before the day-trip crowd arrives. This 1-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions
Package FAQs
Day trip from Srinagar or stay overnight?
A day trip works for most people. Staying means you reach the gondola before the crowd, which in peak season is a real advantage.
Is the gondola always running?
Phase one usually. Phase two to Apharwat is weather-dependent and closes often, sometimes at short notice. Nobody can guarantee it, and we will say so rather than take the booking quietly.
Is this a fixed itinerary or can it be customised?
It is a flexible framework built around Gulmarg's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions rather than publish an average that changes the moment you ask. A consultant replies within one working day; no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Gulmarg is served by Srinagar (SXR), 56 km (rail: Jammu, 300 km). All local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added to your quote.
