A stunning Himalayan hill station in Kashmir, famous for its lush meadows, world-class skiing slopes, and the iconic Gulmarg Gondola ride.
Gulmarg, which translates to 'Meadow of Flowers', is a high-altitude town in Jammu and Kashmir, known for its stunning natural landscape. In summer, it's a vast expanse of lush green meadows dotted with daisies, buttercups, and forget-me-nots, set against a backdrop of snow-covered Himalayan peaks. Visitors often take leisurely walks, go on pony rides through the meadows, or play a round of golf at one of the world's highest courses. The atmosphere is calm and refreshing, with the crisp mountain air providing a break from city life.
