After breakfast drive to Gulmarg, (150 kms. from Sonmarg one way). Gulmarg is not merely a
mountain resort of exceptional beauty- it also has the highest green golf course in the world, at
an altitude of 2,650 m, and is the country's premier ski resort in the winter. One can go for theGondola Ride up to 1st or 2nd Phase. The Gulmarg Gondola is a tourist attraction in itself. It is one of the highest cable cars in the world, reaching 3,979 metres. The two-stage ropeway
ferries about 600 people per hour to and from the gondola main station in Gulmarg to a
shoulder of nearby Mt. Affarwat Summit (4,200 m (13,780 ft)). There are also countless offpiste possibilities through the beautiful Khilanmarg meadows on the foot of Mount Affarwat,
which offer a scenic view of Nanga Parbat. The Affarwat ridge at 3850+ metres offers an
avalanche controlled ski area that offers a wide field of snow to descend 800 m in
approximately 3 km of skiing, and is for advanced skiers only. Due to Gulmarg's steep terrain,
the region is popular amongst advanced and extreme skiers from around the world and has
been visited by a number of ski professionals and featured in a number of ski films also. Hotel
