How to Reach Gulmarg

Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers

By Air

Flying is the fastest option. The nearest airport is Srinagar International (Sheikh ul-Alam), about 56 km from Gulmarg, with direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major cities. Fares are usually reasonable outside peak winter and Amarnath season.

From the airport, prepaid and app-based taxis run straight to Gulmarg via Tangmarg in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. If you would rather stop over, Srinagar city is only about 15 km from the airport, so many travellers spend a night on a houseboat before heading up.

By Train

Gulmarg has no railway station. The nearest practical railhead is Srinagar (Nowgam, SINA) on the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla line, about 55–60 km away. From most Indian cities you travel to Jammu, then connect onward on the Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat or other USBRL services into the valley.

At Nowgam, take a taxi or shared cab about 37 km to Tangmarg, then continue up the final 13 km climb to Gulmarg, roughly 2 hours in all. In heavy snow a local taxi handles this last leg. For the full list of trains from the plains, see Delhi to Kashmir trains.

By Road

Road is the most popular and the most scenic way in, especially from Srinagar. The Srinagar to Gulmarg distance is about 50 km and takes 1.5 to 2 hours along a well-maintained highway through Tangmarg.

  • Taxi: a private cab from Srinagar is the easiest door-to-door option; rates rise in peak winter. Srinagar cabs drop you at your hotel or the main Gulmarg parking stand, and sightseeing within Gulmarg is handled by local union taxis, ponies, or on foot.
  • Bus: JKSRTC and private buses run from Srinagar toward Tangmarg. From Tangmarg you take a shared cab for the final 13 km, since buses do not usually run all the way up to Gulmarg.
  • Self-drive: the route via Tangmarg is straightforward in summer. In winter, after snowfall, traffic police at Tangmarg allow only 4x4s or vehicles fitted with snow chains up to Gulmarg, so a local taxi with chains is the safer bet.

    Chaitanya's 4 days trip to Gulmarg

    The tour was nice, Planning was good. Costing is OK Day1 : Srinagar Sight Seeing and Shikara ride was nice experience. We were expected 3 separate Shikara but got 2 only. Hotel : New Classic Resort was nice but there is limited staff and service is slow for Dinning and other stuff Day 2 : Gulmarg
    Site seeing was nice experience but separate Cab need to be book to reach upto Gandola ride which was not conveyed earlier. We have been told that the Gondola ride stop is at walking distance where Tour Cab will drop us. Hotel : Anarkali Houseboat Stay - was nice and the staff is very helpful (Mr. Bilal) We have been committed for Candle light Dinner at HB but it was missing but the food was nice. Day 3 : Kesar Farm, Apple Valley and other Pahalgam sight seeing was nice Hotel : Frozen Leaf at Pahalgam was Avg. Property (2*) but the service and food was nice. Day 4 : Departure for Airport and on the way Sight Seeing and Shopping was nice Lastly but not the least - Mr. Asif who was our Driver and Tour Guide is nice and humble person. He managed to cover all the points and places even we got delayed in starting our tour because of late arrival. Asif's Inova (Raftar) is nice and comfortable cab and his driving is good. We enjoyed the food (Dinner) served during the Hotel or HB stays. The Cab and driver provided for tour is really nice. Gulmarg Sight Seeing and Gondola ride was best experience.
