Zorbing is rolling down a short, gentle slope on the Gulmarg meadow strapped inside a large double-walled inflatable ball. It is genuinely safe, priced from around ₹300 per ride, and runs on grass in summer and packed snow in winter.
If you're travelling with kids and want one activity that reliably gets everyone laughing, zorbing is usually it. It looks more daring in photos than it actually is - a minute or two of harmless, bouncy fun rather than anything genuinely risky.
What zorbing is actually like
You climb into a large double-walled inflatable ball, the operator secures you inside, and you roll down a short, gentle section of the meadow. It's more laughter than adrenaline, and it photographs and films brilliantly - the mountains rolling past through the ball's clear plastic is a genuinely fun shot.

Frequently asked questions
Is zorbing in Gulmarg actually safe?
Yes. You roll down a short, gentle slope inside a large double-walled inflatable ball, secured by the operator - a safe, family-friendly activity rather than an extreme sport.
How much does zorbing cost in Gulmarg?
From around ₹300 per ride. Confirm the price with the operator before you start, since rates can vary by season and slope.
Can young kids go zorbing?
Yes, with adult supervision - it is one of the most kid-friendly activities on the Gulmarg meadow.
Fitting zorbing into a Gulmarg day
Most families ride the gondola first thing - queues build quickly once the Srinagar day-trippers arrive - and come back down to the meadow for zorbing, ATV rides and pony rides later in the morning. In winter, dress children in waterproof layers and boots; snow gear can be rented in Gulmarg if you do not have your own. Agree the price with the operator before the ride starts.
When can you go zorbing in Gulmarg?
Year-round, conditions permitting: on grass in summer and on packed snow in winter.
