St. Mary's Church - Historic British Church in Gulmarg

St. Mary's Church is a quiet historical landmark situated on a small hillock in the meadowlands of Gulmarg. Constructed in the early 20th century, this church showcases classic Victorian architecture with its grey stone walls, a steep green-tiled roof, and detailed stained-glass windows. The setting is what truly sets it apart; surrounded by a vast golf course, tall pine trees, and the Himalayan peaks in the background, the church provides a serene escape. Visitors can walk up the unpaved path to the church grounds. The interior is simple, featuring wooden panels and pews that reflect its colonial origins. Even when the church is not open for viewing inside, the exterior and the peaceful environment make it a worthwhile visit for those interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a calm spot to take in the views of the valley. The atmosphere is reflective and very different from the more active tourist spots in Gulmarg.
