    Shardul's 4 days trip to Gulmarg

    13 days ago
    The hotels were good and clean. With professional staff. However they were all very far away from city center. In case of gulmarg the hotel was about 13 km away from the intended location which changes the topography and ecology of the region. The travel agent also forgot to pay to the hotel causing unnecessary delays.

    Dinesh's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    13 days ago
    We had a worst experience with amazing India routes. We were told that hotels are 4 star but was given 1 star or 2 star. Hotel in gulmarg dining area stinks. Hotel in pahalgam was even worst(Woods resort) it is a old building with no safety at all. See the view from hotel as attached here. Hotel in Srinagar was better but I had book my hotel seperately as I didn't want to stay there. Travel company has no idea about requirements. They totally messed it up on my anniversary.

    We did had overall a good experience with travel Triangle. Thank you Arsh for curating the itinerary as per the requirement. But two things we faced during the travel which have us a bitter experience: 1. We were not intimated about the actual cost of the union cabs and guide which we needed too pay additionally. It would have been great if we knew the additional approximate amount. 2. The amount of time people demanding tip ..

    Recently we travelled Kashmir(heaven of earth) with the help of travel triangle platform. All arrangements & coordination done by Paridhi mam personally she prepared our itinerary with reasonable price in short time notice but she done all arrangements after duty hours. Our trip was wonderful the houseboat, hotel,driver cum guide all was good they truly helped us to capture golden moments. Special thanks to Paridhi and team. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and relatives for further future planning. Thanks

    FAQ's of Gulmarg

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    Can tourists walk from Gulmarg to Kongdori without taking the Gondola?

     

    Yes, there's a forest trail that takes 1.5–2 hours on foot. It's steep but scenic in summer and early autumn.

    What clothes should I pack for Gulmarg in April or May?

     

    Even in spring, evenings are cold. Carry warm jackets, thermals, and walking shoes—snow patches may still be there.

    Is mobile network and internet available around Gulmarg sightseeing spots?

     

    Mostly yes, especially Jio and BSNL work well, but signals can be weak on treks like Khilanmarg or Fayulla Top.
