Rolling down the Gulmarg meadow inside a giant inflatable ball - here's what zorbing actually involves, why it's genuinely safe, and why kids love it more than anything else on the meadow.
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.
