Tours to Kashmir run a little differently to most other parts of the wold, much like India itself.
The Gulmarg Ski Resort is a newly updated resort in India, situated in the Pir Panjals, one of the six ranges that make up the Himalayas. It is fast becoming a freeskiers mecca, with boundless steep, challenging “runs” with untouched powder.
If you have skied Japan before, but want something with more challenge and fewer people and the same deep powder, then Gulmarg is your best option. It is a place where confident skiers and boarders can seek out quiet slopes and immerse themselves in a completely different culture, in the middle of the Himalayas. The region of Kashmir is aptly titled “Paradise on Earth.” Click here for more
If you are an upper intermediate to expert skier then experiencing the Gulmarg is a must. Whilst the facilities might not be 5 Star, the skiing is some of the best on the planet right now. If you truly value the standard of skiing above all else, then the Gulmarg is the place for you. Steep and deep, minus the helicopter, at a great price. BOOK NOW
It's like Heli-skiing without the bird!!
Tours range from 10 to 16 days throughout January, February, and March. Each tour is an experience in the Indian and Kashmiri cultures and despite what is out there, it is remarkably safe.
If you are looking for the Aspen family ski experience then Gulmarg is not for you; but if you want great powder, steep untracked bowls and friendly unsophisticated service then Gulmarg may just be your Mecca.
