Gulmarg
Introduction :
A huge cup shaped meadow, lush and green with slopes where the silence is broken
only by the tinkle of cowbells, Gulmarg looks like a fantasy set in a film and
not surprisingly have been the venue of several films..
Gulmarg, or meadow of flowers, is an apt term indeed for this idyllic
flower-laden meadow at an altitude of 2,730 metres, in Baramulla district.
Situated at a distance of 51 km from Srinagar, it is a saucer-shaped bowl
overhanging the main valley of Kashmir. The towering peaks above the meadow are
covered with dense forests of tall conifers and gigantic fir and pine trees, all
vying with each other to touch the azure skies.
An equally popular destination in winter, it is coated with a blanket of thick,
soft snow, turning its gentle slopes into some of the finest ski slopes.
Surrounded by crests of white, the air seems to sparkle against the ice as
skiers flash past in the hush of the snow. The resort has one T-Bar Lift, three
modern ski lifts and a chair lift. The beginner's slope makes learning easy,
with perfect snow conditions and a gentle gradient.
