After breakfast, experience the highlight of Gulmarg - a ride on the famous Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world. The two-stage gondola takes you first to Kongdori station and then to Apharwat Peak at nearly 14,000 feet, offering breathtaking views of surrounding Himalayan peaks including a glimpse of Nanga Parbat on clear days. Enjoy activities at the summit based on the season - skiing in winter or alpine trekking in summer. After lunch at a mountain café, explore the historic St. Mary's Church built in 1902, and test your skills at the world's highest golf course. The evening concludes with a bonfire dinner featuring traditional Kashmiri cuisine at your hotel.

Today's adventure takes you on a guided trek to Khilanmarg, a small valley above Gulmarg that transforms into a flowering meadow in summer and a snow-filled wonderland in winter. The 5 km moderate trek rewards you with spectacular views of the Himalayan range and the Kashmir Valley. Enjoy a packed picnic lunch amid alpine scenery before continuing to explore nearby streams and mini-valleys. Photography enthusiasts will find countless opportunities to capture the pristine natural beauty. Return to Gulmarg by evening for a relaxing traditional Kashmiri Kahwa tea session, followed by dinner featuring local specialties.

After breakfast, embark on a day trip to the nearby town of Tangmarg, the gateway to Gulmarg, and visit the revered Baba Reshi shrine, a 15th-century Sufi shrine surrounded by magnificent deodar trees. Explore the local markets of Tangmarg, known for their walnut wood carvings, Kashmiri shawls, and traditional handicrafts. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant featuring authentic Wazwan cuisine. In the afternoon, return to Gulmarg for adventure activities such as horseback riding through meadows, mountain biking on forest trails, or ATV rides (seasonal activities based on weather conditions). The evening features a cultural program with local Kashmiri folk music and dance performances.

On your final day, early risers can witness a spectacular Himalayan sunrise before embarking on a guided trek to the stunning Alpather Lake (seasonal, weather permitting). Located at the foot of the Apharwat Peak, this alpine lake remains frozen for most of the year and offers a serene conclusion to your Gulmarg adventure. Return to the hotel for a late breakfast and checkout. As you descend from Gulmarg to Srinagar, stop at a traditional Kashmiri craft center where you can observe artisans creating intricate papier-mâché objects and pashmina shawls. Reach Srinagar by afternoon for your onward journey, carrying home memories of Kashmir's alpine jewel, Gulmarg.
