We didn't believe our eyes when we rode the Gulmarg Gondola for the first time! Cruising high over Kashmir's forested hillsides, it was as though we were sailing into heaven itself. Our ears popped as we rose higher and higher, but the stunning view soon made us forget any sense of discomfort.
Among the things to do in Kashmir, we would suggest that you place this cable car ride at the number one spot on your list. We ascend in two phases - first to the beautiful meadows of Kongdori, and then onward to almost 14,000 feet at Apharwat Peak where the world appears to go on forever below.
Among the Gulmarg places to see, we enjoyed strolling through the flower-covered fields around the gondola base. In winter, we observed skiers cutting through fresh powder, and in summer, we enjoyed quiet hikes and horse rides.
When booking our Kashmir Tour Packages, ensure this ride is included - it's one you'll never forget!
