| About Gulmarg Tourism |
|
Cradled
in the snow capped mountains of the Himalayas, and just a few miles
from the Line of Control, this panoramic meadow of flowers, has been a
popular hill resort of India. However, on-going militant activities has led to a drastic drop in tourist numbers in the past few decades. Earlier addressed by the shepherds as Gaurimarg, the name Gulmarg was given by a 16th century Sultan called Yusuf Shah, who was captivated by its wild flowers and grassy slopes. Located at an altitude of 2,650m, and covering an area of 3 sq km, this cup shaped meadow, 56 km from Srinagar, is like a fantasy you would want to get lost in. Gulmarg
today is acknowledged not only for its scenic surroundings, but also as
the world's highest golf course and a premier ski resort in the
country.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping Food at the club house is good. Gondola at Gulmarg is THE attraction but the 'najara' of the place is different at every passing hour!
