Morning proceed for a picturesque drive to Gulmarg. Gulmarg (Meadow of Gold) – It was discovered as a tourist destination by the British in the 19th century. Prior to that, Mughal emperors vacationed in the Gulmarg valley which is about 03 kms long and up to 01 km wide. It is exquisitely situated in a pine-surrounded basin of the Pir Panjal range at an altitude of 2,730 meters above sea level and is one of the most famous tourist destinations of Kashmir. It also has one of the world’s highest green golf courses with 18 holes, as well as a clubhouse, which is a historical building in its own right. One can enjoy a Gondola ride or Horse ride at Gulmarg. (Optional)
For a fun-filled ride of a most unusual kind, Gulmarg’s newly constructed gondola lift from high above Gulmarg, through pine-clad slopes is exhilarating. From Gulmarg, a pony track leads upwards to Khilanmarg, Kangdori & seven springs, a couple of hours by pony longer on foot. Afternoon drives back from Gulmarg to Srinagar. Overnight stay at the houseboat.
