Srinagar to Gulmarg: is it worth the trip?
Distance, travel time, day trip or overnight — and how to fit Gulmarg into a Srinagar holiday.
Why go to Gulmarg
The Gondola cable car, ski slopes and a meadow of flowers in summer. A high meadow that becomes India's best-known ski resort in winter and a wildflower bowl in summer.
Is it worth it?
Gulmarg deserves a night — the 2-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
