With pristine views of nature and the most prospective place to go on a whirlwind adrenaline packed power adventure, Gulmarg is one huge ski resort or can even be addressed as the home of skiing in India that draws attention of all adventurers so unless you experience the feeling of having the hair on the back of your neck stand up, you cannot comprehend the true adrenaline this place emits. With incredible amounts of snow, Gulmarg is not really as cold as it seems but the ski season here runs short, usually from mid january to february end, depending upon the whimsical nature of the climate but the best time to visit is from december end to march  with a completely organized plan so that you can enjoy skiing without having to worry about the insignificant nitty gritty details.

The Gulmarg Gondola or the cable car circuit unit takes travellers up to an incredible 4000 metres above sea level height from which a skiing track runs 5 kms down the hills and is truly an exhilarating experience but for adventurers who lookout for the ultimate thrill, the Shark Fin is a place that is deemed to be ideal for powder skiing, and is located at the back of the Mount Apharwat, is a  very favoured slope for experts. For the skiing amateurs in town, there are numerous bunny slopes but if someone practices for an entire day, they can access to ski down from the phase 1 at the Apharwat’s base and for intermediate skiers, Mary Shoulder is the perfect base. Only experienced backcountry skiers are allowed to access the pistes and off- pistes of the Sunset peak, Sunrise peak, Jamiah Gulley, East of Trajan Bowl of Apharwat and Monkey hill. As the best place for skiing in India, Gulmarg also fares exceptionally well on many fronts like quality of snow, great road access and lift infrastructure. The best thing about Gulmarg has to be it’s easy accessibility as it takes only 90 minutes from Srinagar to reach Gulmarg by road and ofcourse the famous Kahwa, an exquisite  Kashmiri tea that you simply cannot miss on your trip to Gulmarg!

Until now it was an impossible event for any civilian to visit Uri, let alone enjoy a warm cup of tea with the exchange of shells and mortars between India and Pakistan a few months back. But with this initiative of opening a full- fledged cafe taken by the Indian Army, visitors can avail the chance to truly experience how things are on the ground. This initiative followed after the ceasefire agreement announced by the armies of India and Pakistan and led to the opening of the cafe at a time when border relations between the nations are peaceful.

Every travel buff with a niche for unconventional experiences can visit Kaman Post and witness how things really run on the field whilst sipping a warm cup of tea at the cafeteria. Visitors can also take selfies on the bridge after they have had their fair share of snacks and tea from the cafe and also shop for souvenirs to take back home. The LoC trade and travel has been at a major transit point served by the initiative of the Kaman Post.
