About Apharwat Peak in Gulmarg

Apharwat Peak is one of the main attractions of Gulmarg tourism. Ski-lovers always find their way to this summit to enjoy their hobby. This place is sure to provide you an out of the world experience while skiing. Since Kashmir is popularly known as the Switzerland of India, you would not deny this post your visit to Apharwat peak. If you are just a beginner and would love to experience skiing, then there is no better place to start than in Apharwat peak. Here, you have all the scope to learn this adventure sport of skiing as well as polish your rusted skills. Since the peaks are completely snow enclosed from all sides, they pose a challenge to even the most professional skiers.

If you are no ski lover, worry not, you can take a quick and comfortable sleigh ride to the tip of the Apharwat peak. This is a wonderful experience in itself that you will never forget. The view that you would get to enjoy during your ride till the very tip of the peak will be jaw-dropping to say the least.

The location of the peak is near the Alpathar Lake that guarantees a breathtaking view from up-top all round the year (be it summer or winter). The look of the Apharwat peak during summers and winters is completely different. While the summer view gives you more chance to take-in its lush green surroundings, the winter will give you the snow-whitey appearance.

To describe the beauty of this peak in few words, it would be honest to describe them as enchanting snowy peaks with a dreamy serene lake by its side. The still surface of the lake reflects the mighty glory of the towering peaks. The surrounding greenery just adds to the whole picture postcard moment.

The view of and from Apharwat peak will teleport you to a fairytale land, far away from the reality of the worldly affairs. The scenery also gives scope for beautiful photographic moments and lifetime captures for photography enthusiasts. If you have never experienced a live snowfall, you got to head to this peak. Make a snow-man or have some fun time picking up a snow-fight with your family and friends while up there.

Do not miss visiting the Apharwat peak when visiting Gulmarg. It is just about 13 km away from Gulmarg and is a must visit tourist spot. The journey to the Apharwat peak will be more enjoyable than being there, what with the wonderful scenery to ogle at!

    Tushar's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    We recently visited Kashmir for the first time, and our 6-day, 6-night honeymoon trip, arranged through Breezy Travels, was an absolute dream come true! From the very beginning, our travel agent, Ms Arooj, was incredibly helpful, polite, and attentive. She took the time to understand our preference
    s and curated a perfect itinerary for us. The trip details were clearly explained, making everything easy to understand and plan. Every place we visited in Kashmir was a gem in itself—be it the breathtaking beauty of Gulmarg, the serene landscapes of Sonmarg, or the charming surroundings of Pahalgam. Each destination left us in awe. We stayed at three distinct hotels during our trip—OV, Lidder Spring, and Hotel Zahgeer Continental. Each of them offered something unique and memorable, enhancing our overall experience. Today, for our final night, we are staying at the stunning houseboat Anarkali. The name of the houseboat perfectly captures its beauty and the essence of Kashmiri hospitality, making this experience truly unforgettable. Our driver, Mr. Imtiaz, was more than just a driver—he was our guide, companion, and even our photographer at times! His kindness, politeness, and vast knowledge made the trip even more special. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience, always making us feel comfortable and cared for. Apart from the stunning landscapes, one of the highlights of our trip was experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the local people. Kashmir truly is heaven on earth, and the people here have hearts of gold. The food throughout the trip was consistently delicious and fulfilling, adding another layer of joy to our journey. This has been an unforgettable honeymoon, and we can't wait to return to Kashmir someday. A big thank you to Ms. Arooj and Mr. Imtiaz for making this trip so special. We highly recommend Breezy Travels to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Kashmir!

The accommodations, sightseeing, and activities were perfectly curated to make our honeymoon special and memorable. A special mention to our driver, **Waseem**, who was an absolute delight throughout the journey. He was not only extremely professional and punctual but also very kind and helpful. Waseem shared interesting local insights and made sure we were comfortable at every step. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a hassle-free experience.
