Via Kashmir

New Year in the snow

Gulmarg is normally under snow by late December, and it is the busiest place in the valley on the night of 31 December.

A Gondola day on Apharwat

The Gulmarg Gondola runs in good weather. Buy tickets once your dates are fixed, because queues are long in New Year week.

A warm room for the 31st

Heating makes a winter trip. Every package names its hotels before you pay, and we tell you what heating each one has.

The gala dinner is extra

Many Gulmarg and Pahalgam hotels add a compulsory 31 December dinner. We show it as its own line on your quote.

Quieter: Pahalgam

Want snow without the crowds? Pahalgam is calmer over New Year, often with snow in town and along the Lidder.
