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!

    Arghya's 6 days trip to Gulmarg

    Our 8-day journey through the beautiful valleys of Kashmir was truly unforgettable, and all the credit goes to Paradise Port. From the moment we arrived, everything was taken care of with warmth and sincerity. Visiting Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg felt like a dream, made even more special by the t
    houghtful planning and smooth arrangements. Hotels were comfortable, the driver (Mr Mudassir Admed) was experienced & polite and all sightseeing spots were covered without any rush. The team at Paradise Port treated us not just as tourists, but like family. Their constant support, genuine care, and attention to every small detail gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. Every day was perfectly balanced between sightseeing and relaxation, allowing us to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Kashmir. We returned home with beautiful memories, happy hearts, and a deep appreciation for Paradise Port. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly memorable and emotionally enriching Kashmir experience.

    Travel agent was always at service. Though Kashmir has less utility of cab, except for intercity movement, as at each tourist spot you have to hire a new cab. LaLit.

    We had a wonderful experience with RoadToTrip. We had booked a trip to kashmir for June month but due to the unfortunate incident we postponed it and rescheduled it for this December. Throughout the executives Iqra, Farah, chetna all of them provided quick service. The driver Tufail Iqbal bhai was a
    lso too good. He drove safe very punctual made us enjoy local cuisines and helped find us better shopping spot too. We travelled with our 5 year daughter and felt very safe throughout the trip. The hotels provided were top class in its ambience location and services.

    Saba Tahrim

    Delhi

    Saba's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    Overall a very good experience. Only thing that can be improved is planning of the daily iteirnery . The cab driver asked us what places we want to see every single day, whereas it should be opposite. He should tell what all to see in each place ,how would we know! Also we had heevan stay in pahalga
    m and the place to see in pahalgam to as closed . Only the places besides heevan was open for tourist. The travel agent should have told us that you need not see those places as you had a stay at heevan . Our day ,time and money all was wasted because of that. We could have left pahalgam in morning itself and could have taken an evening or night flight and saved one day. Overall for the travel agent to stand out he should plan and communicate the iteirnery which is feasible and actually worth watching for the tourist( e.g zero point at sonmarg had nothing to see, outrightly waste of money and time.)

    Vinay's 4 days trip to Gulmarg

    Our 4-day Kashmir trip wouldn’t have been half as smooth without Khusboo and Salman. Khusboo was fantastic from the planning stage weeks before we even landed, always patient, always helpful — and trust me, I’m not easy to impress. There was a hiccup with our initial driver, but she handled it with
    absolute professionalism and arranged a replacement instantly. That replacement turned out to be a blessing — Salman was a god-send. Calm, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our trip memorable. Every booking and arrangement was seamless, top notch, and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for better support.
