“The Meadow of Flowers”
Gulmarg
About Gulmarg
Gulmarg, which means 'Meadow of Flowers', is one of Kashmir's most iconic destinations, situated at 8,694 ft in the Pir Panjal range. In summer, it's a lush green meadow blanketed with wildflowers and offering panoramic views of the Himalayas. In winter, it transforms into one of Asia's premier ski destinations, with deep powder snow and the world's highest cable car — the Gulmarg Gondola. It is truly a year-round destination.
