GULMARG SKI RESORT
At an elevation of 3950 metres, Gulmarg is the world's thirdhighest ski resort and known around the world for its powdery snow runs. Its majestic Apharwat peak (4390m) is the longest ski slope in Asia. Despite its natural gifts, as a ski destination, Gulmarg can be chaotic and needs more infrastructure to be able to do justice to those exceptional mountains. Still, the ski town's endless slopes and fantastic snow conditions are reason enough to head there for a few days of skiing or snowboarding.
