About Fishing in Gulmarg

Many people love fishing and fishing in a hill station is something else. The serenity, view and weather that hill stations have to offer, make the whole fishing activity even more interesting. Fishing is more of a summer activity in Gulmarg.

Since the summer sees extra crowd populating the ski resorts, it is recommended to indulge in fishing for the people who would want to avoid crowd and seek peace. Heading to the Confluence is a good bet for fishing. The confluence is where the streams from Ferozepur Nallah and River Bahan merge.

Another good place to go fishing would be to Ferozepur Nallah (that flows through Chinamarg and Nurpur Pass). Just 5kms away from Gulmarg, you can trout fish out here. Camping is also allowed near the nallah where you can enjoy with your friends and family.

One can also head to Ningle Nallah. This place offers all the privacy a fisher usually needs since it is completely isolated from the crowd of tourists. Trout fishing is famous in ningle nallah. You can also arrange for a camp fire here to party after your catch! This area is also an ideal place for picnics.

Kashmir`s sport trout are not native to Kashmir. This fish was brought-in by the British. The Himalayan water is natural and rich in nutrients. Thus, it supports very many aquatic lives. The fish species od rainbow as well as brown trout flourished since their inception in the water of Gulmar and were completely acclimatized here. Fishing is a permitted activity in streams of Gulmarg. However, glacial lakes remain untouched as usual.

Fly fishing is also an important activity of Gulmarg. Tourists enjoy fly fishing in various water bodies of Gulmarg. Fishing in Gulmarg is common among foreign tourists. Talk to your trip agent or guide and spend a day just relaxing and fishing in Gulmarg. It sure would be a different experience. The beautiful weather and scenery adds more fun to this activity.

The place called fishing pond is yet another place to practice fishing in Gulmarg. The water here is crystal clear water and you can literally see all the fish swimming inside. Fishing gear like rod and reel can be easily hired here. If you have your own fishing rod and reel, then you are all set to catch some big and small games here. The place itself is beautiful and calm, which is what makes it ideal for fishing.

    The hotels in Katra and Srinagar were quiet good. The best hotel was Petals of Chinar in Srinagar. The Hotel Pahalgam Suits was good but the rooms were quiet small and the water was dirty and smelly. The Divine Oak Golden leaf hotel was good on first visit, but during the last visit the bathrooms we
    re unclean. Also the dining area had grey water leakage at multiple places which was not taken care of for over a week's time. We literally had to have our breakfast and dinner in smelly dinning room. Apart from these small things, the hotels were good. The cab driver was amazing and the service agent was good too.

    Dhiru's 6 days trip to Gulmarg

    First of all thanks to Mr. Javed of real good time home stay who gave us a memorable and tremendous reception in his home. The condition of Homestay sanitation, food,everything was excellent and highly recommended. Mr Javed behaviour was marvelous. In sonmarg hotel rooms condition was good but they
    need attention on food taste and non veg stink problem,bathroom accessories like toothpaste and hand wash soap. Electric kettle was there but no sugar and tea/cofee available.plz provide it in future. Sonmarg hotel staff behaviour was very good. Houseboat condition and staff behaviour was very good. But the same problem of bathroom accessories was not there. houseboat food was very good. In houseboat Towels should be provided of white colour because brown Towers were provided to us which seems unhygienic.You should pay attention on yours drivers whom you are providing to yours customers. Plz give them guidelines that they have to drive not too fast,deep cuts should be avoided, no long phone calls while driving. One thing i want to say that we have to drop Jammu instead of katra so taxi operator demanded 1500/- extra for this. When i calculated extra distance then found that for only 50 kms extra they charged rs 1500/- which was little disappointing. Mr. Javed reception in Real good time homestay was very very memorable and nice.
