Worst experience in Kashmir
This is supposed to be the best experience in Gulmarg but it didn’t happen as expected. Due to lack of snowfall, the place has become very risky to visit. Snow scooter have stopped due to this but sledging continues and you’ll fall 70% for sure. The guys operating will push you to go and doesn’t care of your safety. Sledge is also very unprofessional with no precautions, only wood. Due to lack of snow it’s slippery, soil visible, stone visible. Just visit, see the view, eat maggie, and come back. This is 2what we did after making payment as we found it unsafe

Kashmir: Heaven on Earth
ok. lemme write a short note on my recent trip to J&K. we knew its going to be super cold, so we did some affordable and efective shopping at decathlon a week before. We took an early morning flight on 15th December from delhi to sri nagar. landed, wore all our jackets before leaving the airport. first thing first we bought a local sim just outside the airport. had some lunch at some local restaurant, and then headed straight to boat house. our driver dropped us at ghaat no. 17, we checked in at this boat house called TEHRAN. amazing owner, super amazing members, from heated room to hot showers, freshly made meals and what not, management took care like their own children. enjoyed shikara rides and peace. they said it snowed in gulmarg, so we headed to we headed straight to Gulmarg, after staying at boat house for 2 days. as soon as we reached talmarg, we witnessed snow all over. one day's snow covered entire gulmarg white. witnessed that frozen waterfall called drung waterfall. later checked in at Royal Castle, stayed there at cozy and warm room, chilled for a day, had a complimentary dinner. next day we went to gulmarg gandola ride, took break at phase 1, made videos, took some sledge ride, rode snow mobile and had some food at some stalls, they overcharged that's for sure. next day we went to have lunch at Khyber. later we came back to srinagar, did some local shopping, bought pashmina shawls, dry fruits, honey and many more.. returned back to delhi on 21st December.. Note: we couldn't witness snow fall the entire time in gulmarg :( 80/20 rule, people in Kashmir are a little demanding, wants tip in everything they offer from people offering us gandola ride to drivers stopping near polices mans, to snow mobile riders in between the ride.. etc I rate 4/5 star

WORST EXPERIENCE with CHEATERS
We went on a Family Vacation and booked tickets prior online. This is the WORST ever experience of us in Kashmir. Till PHASE 1 it's a smooth process but as soon as we stood on the que for Phase 2, the staffs suddenly ordered us to leave as Phase 2 is closed, even though the weather was extremely clear and sunny, when asked about the reason, firstly they lied it was software issue but when all of us confronted and forced them, they finally revealed a VIP family of probably some ex major went their before us so the service is closed for General Public like us for the entire day. The Military present there are nothing but showpiece. Our entire day was spoilt.

Stunning & mesmerizing View
Visiting Gulmarg and experiencing the Gandola ride is a must for tourists planning a trip to Kashmir. The ride comprises two phases, namely phase 1 and phase 2, with tickets for each phase being sold separately. It's crucial to secure tickets for both phases in advance, as obtaining them during the tourist season can be quite challenging, especially for the limited availability of second phase tickets. The Gandola ride takes tourists to the summit of Aprahawat Peak, which stands at an impressive altitude of 13,976 feet above sea level. For individuals with breathing difficulties, it is essential to take all necessary precautions before embarking on this journey. Once you reach the pinnacle of the peak, you will be rewarded with an absolutely stunning and mesmerizing view.
