India constantly attracts visitors with its spicy food and beautiful beaches, but there is also a completely different side of the country – skiing! Gulmarg is a place located in the northern part of the country and a very unique one. The ski resort itself is located on a plateau that stretches 2,2296,6 feet up. With the lift, you can go even higher, to an altitude of 4,0 feet. Gulmarg is known for its fantastic off-piste but also the well-prepared slopes are nice.
Gulmarg offers a maximum vertical drop of 1,320 metres. There are a total of four slopes and six lifts, not a mega ski resort, but perfect for a week of skiing. For those of you who love powder, you are guaranteed to be satisfied. Gulmarg is located in the Pin Panjals mountain range, the westernmost range in the Himalayas. This means that the resort is constantly hit by westerly storms from the lowlands = heavy snowfalls. What does that mean? Powder snow to spare!
