Gulmarg or “Meadow of Flowers” is nothing less than a fantasy place coming straight out of your dreams. The valley is 3km long and a kilometre wide. It is filled with beautiful blueberries, daisies and many other flowers that lighten up your mood. It also has a popular golf resort and renowned as a prime skiing destination. It sits high on Mt. Apharwat, a ski and snowboard resort with over 1,330 vertical meters of skiable terrain. The resort's claim to fame is the Gulmarg Gondola – the highest ski lift in the world, ascending to an elevation of 3,980 meters. CNN International helped put Gulmarg Ski Resort on the map with a Number 7 ranking for the best ski areas in Asia. Gulmarg is a small village in the Pir Panjal peaks of India, located at the extreme western edge of 1 of the 6 mountain ranges that form the Himalayan Mountains. Gulmarg was established as a ski resort in 1927 by two British Army officers but was originally a hill station for wealthy tourists looking to beat the summer heat. It was a favorite vacation spot for Mughal kings and later for the British elite during their Indian occupancy.
