Gulmarg leaves tourists spellbound

A magical mist surrounds this ultimate destination of skiers, sports lovers, honeymooners and adventure – seeking tourists as yet another snowfall changes the landscape in Gulmarg, the world-renowned tourist retreat in Jammu and Kashmir. Tall pine trees laden with snow and hundreds of acres of golf turf covered with a majestic white blanket in the foreground of the dense forest are picture perfect for both skiers and adventure-loving tourists who throng Gulmarg these days.

The tourist season, which began here in December with its first snowfall, is to continue well into June.
The family is part of a 19-member group of tourists visiting Gulmarg for the first time.
“It’s simply breathtaking. I have heard a lot about Gulmarg. The very name brings in a refreshing feeling when the temperature soars back in Delhi,” Singh said.
“But this place is beyond words”, he added while helping his children walk carefully on the slippery roads flanked on both sides with four feet of snow.
Ilyas, assistant director of the state tourism department, is not surprised by the comment as he has been witnessing this every day.
