Will there be snow??
With the uncertain weather, it’s tough to say right now. So how about this - snow for skiing in February and March has never failed us for the last 14 years!
Hope that convinces you!
For beginners and pro skiers alike, the icy slopes of Gulmarg are the go-to place every winter. In this program, parents and children alike will learn basic downhill skiing, snow plough (pizza!) and stopping.
And if our instructors feel you've picked up the skills quick enough, they will allow you to join the Phase 1 team that will ski down from Kongdori Station - that's an intermediate level you're aiming for on this trip!

Pack up before checkout, but keep your ski boots on — we ski till 4 PM! Later, slip back into your city clothes and head for an exclusive visit to the High Altitude Warfare School’s climbing museum — a rare privilege since it’s usually closed to the public.

Day 6
An early morning visit to the floating flower and vegetable market on the Dal Lake - no pressure, but if you're an avid photographer It's quite magical! Try and book your return tickets for later in the afternoon, so you can have a lazy breakfast, maybe a bit of local shopping if time and energy allow, and then it’s off to the airport. Time to say goodbye… and carry a little piece of Kashmir back with you.
