Gulmarg, the most loved tourist destination, is known as MEADOWS OF FLOWERS.....its always a part of every tourists itenary , who happens to visit the kashmir valley. It's located in Baramula district of j&k and a very popular skiing destination in winters. Though it's a small town within miles of line of control between India and Pakistan and so bit sensation. ..but I didnot find it too fearsome to travel there. It is considered Asia's 7th best skiing destination. From Tangmarg , the plateau of gulmarg is just 30 mins travel but lot of check posts before one reaches gulmarg.
Gulmarg got the world's highest cable car known as Gondola reaching 3979mts...There r 2 stages of this cable car ride.....the first stage transfers from Gulmarg resort at 2600mts to kongdoori station at 3080mts which is a bowl shaped kongdoori valley.2nd stage takes skiers to a ht of 3950mts on top of kongdoori mountains which is part of the nearby Afarwat peaks.....These cable car rides tickets can be purchased in advance online. .....the system is very good as incase plan is changed or cancelled , the full money is given back to the customers. ....really need applaud to maintain the system so well.. last to last time we went there ,we couldn't make it on time as there was landslide a close to the jawahar tunnel,so we had to cancel our gondola tickets,was bit skeptic about the money but we got it back well in time.
