Join us in the Indian Himalaya for a powder ski and snowboard touring odyssey. 1500 vertical metre runs, deep powder, steep trees, wide open alpine slopes, avalanche education, Kashmiri culture and great food it's all on this trip! Gulmarg is a ski touring and cultural paradise, and whatever the weather, you can always get out skiing and riding.
Adventure Consultants now leads 8 and 12 day ski and snowboard touring programmes to Gulmarg in Kashmir, India.
We utilise the top stage of the massive Gulmarg gondola when the weather is good which deposits us above 4000m near the top of Mt Apharwat (4200m) with a wealth of steep bowls and ridges leading into perfectly spaced trees to explore. When the weather is inclement, and/or the top stage of the gondola is closed, we tour from the mid-station down (which is almost always open) including exploring the 10-15km Drang Valley, skiing through the road-less village of Drang where the friendly kids run out to play on the back of our skis. Ending in the town of Tangmarg where we taxi back up to Gulmarg. When the weather is really bad, with heavy snow, we ski tour on Monkey Hill, or down below Gulmarg in the taxi serviced Babarshi Trees. We enjoy the evenings in the most comfortable hotel in 
Gulmarg, one of the newest and most luxurious in town and on appropriate evenings (when everyone can stay awake!) we put on avalanche education lectures and workshops.
